sandman – Moe Lane

Tweet of the Day, The Sandman’s Going To Hell! edition.

Okay, that’s a guess – but it’s an informed one.

The rumours are true. Netflix is thrilled that so many of you have been watching Sandman, and the thing we were all hoping would happen… has indeed happened… pic.twitter.com/zc5CrhsdZK

The stuff with Lucifer was already hinted at in Season 1, and taking it up now follows the comic’s own path. Since there is absolutely no reason at all not to follow along with the book, I feel fairly confident that this next season is about that. That this is also my second favorite Sandman story* has nothing to do with anything, obviously.

*My favorite? The Emperor Norton story, of course. I’ve never forgotten it.

Neil Gaiman promises to not muck up Sandman adaptation.

I’m ready to believe this promise of Neil Gaiman’s a lot more, given how good Good Omens was.

In an AMA session on Reddit (via CBR), the 58-year-old author not only assured fans that the adaptation would remain faithful in spirit to the source material, but that it would also follow the comics’ story properly. Wonder Woman co-writer Allan Heinberg will serve as showrunner with both Gaiman and David Goyer executive producing.

Well.

Damn.

Twenty-five years after one of the most celebrated graphic novels of all-time hit shelves, award winning and critically acclaimed author and screenwriter, Neil Gaiman, announces his return to THE SANDMAN. Gaiman made the surprise announcement, via video, at DC Entertainment’s Vertigo panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Karen Berger, Executive Editor of Vertigo, then revealed that Gaiman is paired with artist, JH Williams III (BATWOMAN) for the series, who appeared on stage to an already stunned and elated crowd. THE SANDMAN mini-series will be published by Vertigo in 2013.

I look forward to purchasing it.
