![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Netflix really put their whole Netussy into this project, showering the visual effects team with the kind of money that puts Marvel's team to shame. In fact, that's even more true here given the scale of this production. While a recent Audible version was well-received by fans, efforts to bring Morpheus to life on screen have been a literal nightmare for everyone involved. It's curious then that The Sandman is notorious for being a tricky story to adapt and retell in other mediums. What is a story if not a shared dream? Dreams aren't real, we're told, yet dreams and stories hold the power to shape reality in the waking world too by fundamentally changing both storytellers and listeners alike. Because while The Sandman is technically about Morpheus, a pasty chap who happens to be the personification of dreams, DC's cherished comic book series explores so much more than just the world of this one character.Īcross those first 75 issues, not to mention all of the specials and spin-offs that followed, Neil Gaiman's magnum opus uses dreams as a gateway into mythology, history, and a deconstruction of reality itself. The more you read about The Sandman, the more you'll hear that this is really a story about storytelling. The Sandman spoilers won't be found in this review. ![]()
