I have fun while drawing this:)))

Hi, just finished all #75 issues of The Sandman (REALLY late to the party), and also Endless Nights and Overture. I know that the Sandman Universe has a lot of other stuff like specials and Sandman Presents, but I've heard they are not all up to par on characterization or writing quality, so I'm kinda lost. I really love Sandman and want to continue reading, any recommendations? Thanks!!

I know they had already met with Dream and Destiny. Even some of them hold and read the Book of Destiny and/or visited the Garden! (Was that Squirrel of Destiny survived meeting with Lobo inside the Garden!?)

And maybe the magic users and occultism-related heroes are more informed about their existence.

And maybe that pavement artist has already been part of some of the post-crisis renovation works.

Relistening to the audiobooks rn and pretty much this. What are they? As far as i recall they are mentioned twice; once as an answer when dream asks lucifer where the demons might have gone and one when Etain of the second look goes into hiding from Destructions "Protections" against being found. These have to be some place/dimension/plane where the endless have no Power so that it would make sense for Etain to flee to the far realms right? Is it perhaps one of the places we meet in the stories in worlds end Inn? Is it feary? What are the far realms and whats their place in the order of created things (of they belong to that category?) Am i just overthinking? (Probably, i know) I know Gaimans soft worldbuilding leaves a lot open for your own Imagination (which i love), but is anywhere in the dc comics defined what these far realms are? Genuinly curious.

so we don't hear much about hob's life between 1389 and 1489, and soooo much shit went down in england and france with the hundred years' war and the wars of the roses; is there a fic tbat (competently) explores his time as a sellsword and bandit and soldier in the context of these? i just finished a major history binge from crecy to bosworth, and i was wondering in the back of my head the whole time: what if hob were there, not-dying in the sucking mud of shrewsbury or under the hail of arrows at agincourt, etc etc. any recs??? please.

I am rewatching the show again, and I noticed something in Ep. 06.

Death mentions that, while Dream was imprisoned, they had a family dinner.

From the comics, we know that Destiny, who's the host of these gatherings, has the ability to somewhat forcefully summon the other Endless. Overture proves that he can get Dream into his realm, even if Dream is trapped somewhere.

I guess Destiny had his Destiny reasons, but when he calls a family meeting, he usually summons all of the Endless at once. Shouldn't he have liberated Dream by doing so?

I mean after that explosion she did in the (let’s call it) “dance club”, i thought she was gone. But does it state anywhere that she is? What if she still alive? Anyway i would have loved to see more of her.

Catwoman one day decided to create the greatest cat shelter in Gotham City!

She started to collect more and more orphaned cats around the city.

Even other cat fanatic people started to help her donating more and more cats and money.

She become a new local celebrity!

The Hero of the Cats!

Later, finally, she had collected one thousand cats.

The first part of her plan was a great success!

So come the second part!

She asked one of her friend, who can control the mind of the animals, to make them sleep and also make them want to recreate the Earth with cats being the dominant species and her being the Goddess of Cats!

That friend of her, reluctanly, did what she asked them to do so.

Earth was changed!

Cats are, again, the dominant species of Earth, humans are just a small animals, again, but now Catwoman is the Goddess of Cats!

Desire is now happy because at least they are prevented the destruction of the universe that the humanity as a dominant species could cause!

THE END

We know that there is no creation and changes without Destruction. We also know that even ages ago (when Delight started to turn into Delirium) he had already spent so much time on Earth and he is still visiting our planet frequently.

But! What happened first!?

1. Humans started to create and change so much that it caused Destruction to visit our planet more and more that caused the many wars and destructions on Earth.
2. Humans started to become bloodthirty and started to cause too much destructions so it caused Destruction to visit our planet more and more that caused us to create and change more and more.

Maybe the right answer is the 2).... but maybe it was 1)!?

Was Dream also viewed as a biblical figure by Kryptonians?

Hi! So, I was wondering. Dream has to face a phenomenon called the "Dream Vortex" sometimes. Said Vortex is apparently capable of messing with the whole Universe if kept unchecked. It gives Dream a purpose and a semi-recurrent threat to face.

I haven't read any of the expanded universe/post The Wake comics, except Overture. So maybe it is explained in these newer comics. My question is : do other Endless face the same kind of threats? Are there Despair, Destruction, Desire vortices?

Thanks for your answers!

So I finally watched the show just two years late lmao. Dream says the lytas husband is a ghost and so can’t go on living in the dreaming, yet later in episode 10 he offers rose the chance to stay in the dreaming once she dies??? How can rose do that if Morpheus said it’s not possible.

Also how did lytas husband get lost and go into the dreaming after dying, doesn’t death greet them and fly them off wherever they go?? Or does she not do it for everyone who dies, bc I wasn’t sure if maybe she’s like everywhere all the time for all who die or she just likes to come down and give a few people a nice send off, and do they ever explain where death takes them??? Does she take them to the afterlife of whatever they believe, or does she take them all to lucifer since Morpheus called their realm hades amongst others and in Greek myths all souls go to hades good and bad, so does everyone go to hell or not?😭

If someone could explain the stuff I’m confused on and the realms and how it all works I’d appreciate it a ton !!

Every cat is living their own lifes. They do whatever they WANT to do. They just not really care of the others.

Humans can live a shared lifes. They can do whatever their groups WANT to do. They can WANT doing the same thing.

So it is easier for thousand humans to WANT the same thing while it is much harder for thousand cats to WANT to do it.

This is the nature of cats and humans.

Humans can work in a team while cats just cannot.

And as Hope pointed out, for Dream to succeed you must WANT him to succeed.

So yes... Dream can reshape reality if thousands WANT him to do it.

But Dream is not about WANTING... But Desire is!

Desire usually WANTS you to live your own life, do whatever you WANT so it could be much harder for Dream to reshape reality again!

Maybe that is why they are egoist and narcissistic and love Despair. They are a great weapons for them againts Dream.

There is a reason why their realm is empty, their statue is on the edge of the realm, why they are naked, why the statue is smiling, why their heart is easily available and why the statue is looking outside! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

The statue is facing towards Despair! Desire want Despair to visit them! Desire even wears no clothing because Despair wears nothing. Even their realm is empty because her realm is also empty! And even there is no reason for Despair to use her hooked ring because Desire opened their heart to her! Desire is happily welcoming her! Isn't is great!? 🥰🥰🥰🥰

My wife is a huge fan of sandman series. I want to buy her some comics. Can anyone suggest me top 5 sandman comics? Thank you

Hi y’all! So I was just rereading Brief Lives (my fav Sandman volume) and was puzzled by a bit I had never questioned too much before. There is a moment in issue 7 of the volume in Destiny’s Garden, just after Dream and Delirium have left, when he is flipping through his book and lands on the Corinthian bleeding in front of Daniel Dream. I’ve read the whole series and don’t know what moment this is referencing. Do we know? Or is it simply another piece of foreshadowing for Dream’s death?

You starts your life as a little kid. You are young and confused but at least you feel DELIGHT.

Later you do whatever you DESIRE but still DESPAIR about the consequences of your actions. You live with your family and your small community. You live your mundane life and doing mundane things.

But then you realise that the world is more than you and your community is. Maybe something happen to you, some DESTRUCTION that changes your life forever. You leave your old life behind and become something new.

After that, you become a hero, a legend. You do amazing and heroic things. Saving other people, other nations, other planets, other universes. You solve complex problems. You turn other people's DREAM into reality.

But do not forget even Legends die one day... Sooner or later DEATH will claim you.

In the end, you will have a wonderful life, you will fullfill your DESTINY.

If I took a photo or made a video about one of the Endless then will they appear on them!?

For example when Delirium drove that car then what the police saw through a camera? A car driving itself!? Or did they saw her as they would see her when meeting her personally!?

With everything going on with Gaiman do you think vol IV and V will still be released?

I've never picked up a Sandman comic before, I've heard it's a great series. Should I get into it? What's the Sandman about without major spoilers?
