Sandman: Playing House

There are a lot of interesting interactions in the Dreaming and the waking world as the various cast members are “Playing House.”

I Realized That I Watched Every Film In the IMDb Top 250

Few days ago I wanted to check my IMDb account and while I was searching for a new movie to watch, I realized that I’ve seen every title in the top 250 list. And I think this was the moment that I accepted I’m a cinephile enough to argue with someone about the kings of cinema…

Sandman: The Doll’s House

The Sandman has a very complicated history. While the title was part of the Vertigo line, it was still part of the wider DC Universe, and some heroes and villains came in and out of the book. They’ve made the decision to not bring in any superhero characters, so some slightly different versions of some of these characters appear in the series.

Sandman: The Sound of Her Wings

“The Sound of Her Wings” takes two stand-alone issues from the series and weaves them into a fantastic episode.

Sandman: 24/7

Otherwise known as “The Diner story” when it’s talked about, the episode is titled “24/7.” This is the most disturbing episode so far, and if memory serves, the worst we’re likely to see this season. This is going to be a very short review, because this is mostly high drama and I try to avoid spoilers.

Sandman: A Hope in Hell

One of my favorite issues throughout the several years long run was early on, when Morpheus went to hell to reclaim what was his. That, somewhat adapted, is what we see in “A Hope in Hell.”

Sandman: Dream A Little Dream of Me

The quest for Morpheus’ items continues in “Dream A Little Dream of Me.” Personally, I kept expecting to hear that song, but I don’t believe we ever did.

Sandman: Imperfect Hosts

The first episode reassured me about any doubts I had about the quality of the project. Now, the story continues with “Imperfect Hosts.”

Sandman: Sleep of the Just

I’ve been reading comics most of my life, and usually stick with the superhero themed ones, but when Sandman #1 came out, I was hooked. I read each issue, talked about them with a good friend who generally doesn’t read comics at all but enjoyed these, and was constantly surprised and enthralled with where the stories went.
