About this deal

They also published a new hardcover version of The Absolute Death in April 2022 , now titled Death: The Deluxe Edition. Like its predecessor, it collects The Sandman #8 and 20, "A Winter's Tale" from Vertigo: Winter's Edge #2, Death: The High Cost of Living #1–3, "The Wheel" from 9–11: The World's Finest Comic Book Writers & Artists Tell Stories to Remember, Death: The Time of Your Life #1–3, and "Death and Venice" from The Sandman: Endless Nights. Extras include "Death Talks About Life", A Death Gallery, and a new introduction by Tori Amos.

There are a handful of changes sprinkled through the show. For example, Boyd Holbrook’s character The Corinthian has a slightly expanded role, and many characters from the wider DC Universe who cameo in the comic are absent from the show. But the two versions are ultimately similar enough that there’s no reason fans of the show couldn’t jump straight into The Sandman Vol. 3: Dream Country if they so desired. A meeting is held on a distant planet. Aspects of Dream from various sentient species are present and have been awaiting his arrival to investigate. After consulting the oldest Aspect of Dream and another figure known as "Glory of the First Circle" he learns that the cause of the wrongness is the insanity of a star which will spread until the universe itself is destroyed. Glory claims that Dream is at fault for the insanity. Sandman: DC Reprinting Neil Gaiman's Entire Series Ahead of Netflix Series' Premiere". CBR. December 18, 2021 . Retrieved May 30, 2023.

There is Sandman and then there is everything else. DC has revived the Sandman franchise in recent years, first with The Sandman Overture and then with The Sandman Universe, an entire imprint of Sandman comics overseen by Gaiman. Each series is set after the conclusion of the original comic, exploring the long-term ramifications of the ending, and deal with the fallout of Dream's sudden disappearance from The Dreaming in the opening chapter.

I understood, thanks that Neil Gaiman gave a dictionary meaning of “Overture” that this it’s not only a “beginning” but a show containing the main themes of what is to come.
