Sandman: Overture

Again I am blogging about a comic, not about a film or comics-related event.

The Sandman: Overture has appropriately beautiful art as the cover, attached, shows. I have read it once but it needs to be reread more than once both to appreciate the art and to follow the story. I have not yet quite followed the sequence of events but am confident that this will become clear.

I suppose that Overture will now become Volume 1 of the graphic collections? Overture No 1 advertises another spin-off, a new Dead Boy Detectives monthly series written by Toby Litt.

There is not a great deal to be said as yet but Overture will become a major event for the next several months. And it is to be hoped that there will be more from the Sandman after that.
