Summary

A New York Times bestseller！ This massive hardcover collection reprints Neil Gaiman's seminal， award-winning The Sandman: Overture， plus The Sandman: Dream Hunters and his two acclaimed stories featuring Morpheus's sister Death。

The Sandman is the universally lauded masterwork following Morpheus， Lord of the Dreaming--a vast， hallucinatory landscape housing all the dreams of any and everyone who's ever existed。 Regardless of cultures or historical eras， all dreamers visit Morpheus' realm--be they gods， demons， muses， mythical creatures or simply humans who teach Morpheus some surprising lessons。

Originally published 25 years after The Sandman first changed the landscape of modern comics， The Sandman: Overture brought back Neil Gaiman's legendary series with a never-before-told tale featuring Morpheus！

The Sandman: Overture heralds New York Times best-selling writer Neil Gaiman's return to the art form that made him famous， ably abetted by artistic luminary JH Williams III （Batwoman， Promethea）， whose lush， widescreen images provide an epic scope to the Sandman's origin story。 From the birth of a galaxy to the moment that Morpheus is captured， The Sandman: Overture features cameo appearances by fan-favorite characters such as the Corinthian， Merv Pumpkinhead and， of course， the Dream King's siblings: Death， Desire， Despair， Delirium， Destruction and Destiny。

Collects The Sandman: Overture #1-6， The Sandman: Dream Hunters #1-4， Death: The High Cost of Living #1-3 and Death: The Time of Your Life #1-3， plus variant covers and extra bonus stories！

This was my least favorite installment only because it mostly contains stories that are merely tangential to the Sandman， and a lot of filler。 The highlights for me were "The Sandman Overture" which is a prequel to the series; "The Dream Hunters"， a made up Japanese fairy tale about a monk and a fox spirit; and "Endless Nights" ， short stories about each of the Endless （except for the Despair story which was hard to follow， disturbing， and had the ugliest illustrations I've ever seen）。 The Death This was my least favorite installment only because it mostly contains stories that are merely tangential to the Sandman， and a lot of filler。 The highlights for me were "The Sandman Overture" which is a prequel to the series; "The Dream Hunters"， a made up Japanese fairy tale about a monk and a fox spirit; and "Endless Nights" ， short stories about each of the Endless （except for the Despair story which was hard to follow， disturbing， and had the ugliest illustrations I've ever seen）。 The Death stories were pleasant but not life changing。 The back third of the book is comprised almost entirely of just illustrations。 Both the prose and comic book versions of The Dream Hunters are here， but the former was so beautifully illustrated that for me， it rendered the comic version unnecessary。 Still， this was a necessary buy to complete the collection although I doubt I will revisit it as much as the first two volumes。 。。。more

I just read the parts of this that I hadn't read already， which was mostly just the two different versions of The Dream Hunters （which was just OK） but "The Wheel" is still one of my favorite comic handlings of 9/11 I just read the parts of this that I hadn't read already， which was mostly just the two different versions of The Dream Hunters （which was just OK） but "The Wheel" is still one of my favorite comic handlings of 9/11 。。。more

While the first two thousand-plus-page volumes of the Sandman Omnibus trilogy contain the base story （75-issue run， plus supplemental stories related to Morpheus）， this is a thousand-plus pages that can be seen as the equivalent of DVD-extras。 I rated the first two volumes at 5/5 because they are perfect。 Neil Gaiman at his absolute best。 This one isn’t perfect， but it’s good。 This omnibus collects both the Death Deluxe edition as well as the Sandman Overture， Endless Nights， Midnight Theatre， a While the first two thousand-plus-page volumes of the Sandman Omnibus trilogy contain the base story （75-issue run， plus supplemental stories related to Morpheus）， this is a thousand-plus pages that can be seen as the equivalent of DVD-extras。 I rated the first two volumes at 5/5 because they are perfect。 Neil Gaiman at his absolute best。 This one isn’t perfect， but it’s good。 This omnibus collects both the Death Deluxe edition as well as the Sandman Overture， Endless Nights， Midnight Theatre， and both versions of the Dream Hunters。 If it weren’t for Overture， this would be another perfect 5/5。 I would give the Overture portion 3/5 on its own。 I know that Overture is almost universally acclaimed， but I just didn’t like it that much。 Some fun parts， but overall kind of boring。The rest of this book is absolutely amazing。 The Death stories are great as always， the various other stories a good too。 My personal favorite was The Dream Hunters。TL;DR: It’s not as good as the first two volumes， but still good enough to keep the Sandman Omnibus Trilogy in my top 10 collected comics。 。。。more

It’s a weird feeling having finished this book （more aptly having read the three Sandman omnibus’） I’m both incredibly satisfied with this fantastically spellbinding journey of modern mythology that Gaiman and friends have taken me on。。。。。And am also ever-so-slightly depressed that （at least for now） the journey is over。 I’ve felt so many things reading this series and it’s all been wonderful。 Volume 3 kind of serving as eclectic after note to cap everything off， while still being just as resona It’s a weird feeling having finished this book （more aptly having read the three Sandman omnibus’） I’m both incredibly satisfied with this fantastically spellbinding journey of modern mythology that Gaiman and friends have taken me on。。。。。And am also ever-so-slightly depressed that （at least for now） the journey is over。 I’ve felt so many things reading this series and it’s all been wonderful。 Volume 3 kind of serving as eclectic after note to cap everything off， while still being just as resonant as volumes 1 & 2If you’ve never read the Sandman before， do yourself the favour and become acquainted with Dream of the endless and his siblings （my favourite is easily Death， although I’m partially to Dream and destruction as well。。。。。oh！ And Delirium， can’t forget Delirium） Read it 。。。more

4。5 stars。 The final volume includes several art galleries and some stand alone stories in the Sandman universe， as well as the Overture。 I found the stories to be as captivating as the series itself （plus， and this may because I was a child of the 80's and 90's， but I have kind of a crush on Death） and the galleries were fascinating。 The only thing I would have liked to have added was more of the notes to the reader， as they added quite a bit of great background info on the creation of the seri 4。5 stars。 The final volume includes several art galleries and some stand alone stories in the Sandman universe， as well as the Overture。 I found the stories to be as captivating as the series itself （plus， and this may because I was a child of the 80's and 90's， but I have kind of a crush on Death） and the galleries were fascinating。 The only thing I would have liked to have added was more of the notes to the reader， as they added quite a bit of great background info on the creation of the series。 Very satisfied with the purchase overall。 。。。more

And so， as we get to know Death， Desire， and Dream a lot more， we also say goodbye to the Endless （at least for now）。 This volume is complex: a mashup of content that--although seemingly random--binds the loose ends of The Sandman's universe （"Death"， "The Dream Hunters"， "Overture"， and such）。 Next stop， The Dreaming--with an open mind， of course。 And so， as we get to know Death， Desire， and Dream a lot more， we also say goodbye to the Endless （at least for now）。 This volume is complex: a mashup of content that--although seemingly random--binds the loose ends of The Sandman's universe （"Death"， "The Dream Hunters"， "Overture"， and such）。 Next stop， The Dreaming--with an open mind， of course。 。。。more

Finally all the extra stories of Sandman （by Neil anyway） put together in omnibus format。 Absolutely loved Vol 1 and 2 and had all these stories in smaller individual books， so I was very excited to see this released。 It looks great on my book shelve next to the others。 Now I'm waiting for the Lucifer Omnibus and hopefully one day we will see The Dreaming in the same format。 Finally all the extra stories of Sandman （by Neil anyway） put together in omnibus format。 Absolutely loved Vol 1 and 2 and had all these stories in smaller individual books， so I was very excited to see this released。 It looks great on my book shelve next to the others。 Now I'm waiting for the Lucifer Omnibus and hopefully one day we will see The Dreaming in the same format。 。。。more

this was the least favorite of the 3 omnibus books， as the stories did not center around "dream" himself for most of the book but around his siblings。 this was the least favorite of the 3 omnibus books， as the stories did not center around "dream" himself for most of the book but around his siblings。 。。。more
