There is no doubt that Sandman's place in the history of the comic book medium is secure. The original run is a true masterclass in storytelling - a brilliant mythology that, you could argue, has yet to be rivaled in modern comics. Given the story's weight and influence, it is not surprising that most of us were incredibly excited at the announcement of Sandman Overture, a prequel to the original series. The first issue is here, in our eager hands, and the good news is it's pretty damn good and easily the best looking comic you are likely to pick up. It ain't perfect, but it's hard to not get excited about new Sandman written by Neil Gaiman.
The absolute best thing about this comic, the thing that makes that horribly inflated price tag easier to swallow, is the stunning artwork of J.H. Williams III. Every single page of this issue is a work of art, the kind of stuff that makes you want to own the original page and hang it on your wall. It's gorgeous from start to finish. Williams spreads out the pages, crafting one double-page spread after another. The story weaves into the panel layouts, controlling and moving the page, directing your gaze with expert precision. It's truly beautiful.
