I am fanboying so hard right now.

**I_Captain Blanco** · 07-12-2012, 06:44 PM

So...wait...after putting out ABSOLUTE SANDMAN VOL. 5 so all Gaiman's SANDMAN work would be included...does this mean they've got to do another one?? :P

I kid, obviously. This. Is. BRILLIANT.

Great news for Vertigo this is going to amazing

**anthony!** · 07-12-2012, 06:49 PM

I would have thought for sure that any Gaiman announcement would have been Marvelman related... but I almost prefer this.

How long is this series supposed to be? Any idea?

Before Sandman!

Never read Sandman, but heard awesome things about it. Would this be a good jumping on point, or where there a lot of questions asked in Sandman that will be answered in this. Would I appreciate it more if I read Sandman before? Also, another quick question. I hear there are tons of spinnoffs. Are any of them good?

**PatheticNewGuy** · 07-12-2012, 06:57 PM

...whoa...

This is incredible! Can we pay AHEAD?!!

I like that this is kind of BEFORE Sandman! Show them how a prequel's done, Neil. I haven't enjoyed a Vertigo series as much as Sandman (The Unwritten comes close, though).

Seriously, though, this would not have been possible if Karen hadn't maintained a strong relationship with Neil over the years. I remember that he has a gentleman's agreement with Karen that he'd never write for DC again if they ever let anyone else write Morpheus.

Also, I wonder how much they're paying him? I remember reading (either in an interview or Neil's blog) that the last Sandman project for the 20th Anniversary got derailed because of money; something like Neil wanting a proportionate payment along the lines of his book contracts because writing Sandman would take him away from writing his novels.
