A Preview of ‘The Sandman: Act II’

It is definitely safe to say, that Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman was one of the most influential stories of its time with its sweeping plot and dynamic characters and everything in between and it was so powerful and so complete of a story, that it truly seemed that it would forever stand on its own as the masterpiece that it truly is. But time and creativity often allows for great writers to find new ways to continue incredible stories and it just so happens that Mister Gaiman figured out a way to continue this incredible tale.
