THE DREAM KING MAKES HIS GLORIOUS RETURN 

IN SANDMAN OVERTURE #1

And this Sand-fan of 20+ years couldn't be happier! Overture is a work of astonishing beauty and I would highly recommend this issue to anyone, from long time Gaiman addicts to the  first time comic reader. I loved it and cannot wait for #2!

So are there any other comics arriving this week? Of course there are! Let's find out what else we have to look forward to, shall we? There's certainly no shortage of excitement in the superhero world, with the excellent X-Men crossover BATTLE OF THE ATOM concluding with part 10, the eagerly awaited DAMIAN: SON OF BATMAN mini series begins, INFINITY nears its galaxy spanning finale with issue #5, and the death knell for Marvel's Ultimates-verse tolls with CATACLYSM 0.1.  There are annuals a-plenty for DC readers, SAGA gets swoony with a satircal romance cover, there are new issues for cult favourites KILLJOYS and KICK-ASS, ADVENTURE TIME has a Halloween spooktacular, and even MY LITTLE PONY gets a special 'Equestria Girls' annual issue. What are you reading this week? Talk to us @Davescomics! :)

SANDMAN OVERTURE #1

Twenty-five years since THE SANDMAN changed the landscape of modern comics, 

Neil Gaiman's legendary series is back!
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 will feature 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.
"People have often asked me what happened to Morpheus to make it possible for him to be captured in THE SANDMAN #1," Gaiman said. "And now they get to find out. And finding out, they get to learn secrets of the Endless that I've kept to myself for 25 years. Family secrets. And I should warn you: one of the Endless dies on page five."
The first issue of this 6-issue, bimonthly miniseries features a stunning 

double-page interior foldout.
