Episode notes

"The Sandman" is set in the DC Comics universe. Is it even playing in a superhero space at all? Or is it kind of a shoeing that whole thing entirely? "It's not really doing that at all," says Andrew Keen, who stars as The Joker on this week's episode. 'I don't think ever again you ever get a character just like casually named dropping the Joker'

Welcome to our newest show-within-a-show! We're working our way through Neil Gaiman's signature graphic novel series THE SANDMAN. Some Patreon supporters get these episodes monthly, but every two months we'll combine them for general consumption.

In Episode 1, we do some table-setting on the series, and Gaiman -- then we dive into the first trade paperback Preludes & Nocturnes, which introduces Dream and his whole deal over the first 8 issues.

In Episode 2, we dig into the second book The Doll's House (which actually came out first). Dream is on the hunt to track down some rogue underlings, and a woman named Rose learns a lot about her family. Also there's a Cereal Convention!
