Pick of the Week: The Sandman Overture #1

By Zach Wilkerson | Oct 31, 2013 | Reviews

Seventeen years after he put the title to rest, Neil Gaiman returns to “The Sandman.” While a revival of this scope definitely gives rise to a lot of apprehension and skepticism, I’m happy to report that “The Sandman Overture” is far from a “Before Watchmen”-esque cash grab.
