Hakkesshu posted:It's a shame that there doesn't seem to be a way to get the original colouration of the comics anymore, short of ebaying all the issues. The new one isn't all bad but I'm absolutely allergic to some of the awful gradients they use. If you really want #29-75 and Orpheus in their original printing I think I have them in a longbox somewhere. I picked up the Absolute volumes when they came out. (Where's my Absolute Lucifer, is what I want to know. Gross's work looks better when you expand it.)

I’m fine with Death being a black girl And Baptiste is doing a good job But I keep daydreaming what if it was Janelle Monae https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOnFBafFZNc Her accent is strained but she exudes so much love Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Sep 1, 2022 |

Raygereio posted:I'm only 3 episodes in so far, but I'm loving it. I didn't expect they could find someone who could speak convincingly in white on black speech bubbles, but Sturridge manages it somehow. He looks like an emo dork and it's perfect. Constantine was still really well put together in Sandman and early Hellblazer. Ennis taking over is what made him become more disheveled.

Constantine has always had his moods; as early as issue 4 he's a mess when having to face turning 35. But when he's on the upswing, he's neat as a pin.

I mean, if you want to go back to the source, Constantine was always extremely put together when he would appear in Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run. Basically the equivalent of an occult CIA agent delivering that arc's case to the big green guy.

The Voice of Labor posted:guessing eve got rolled up with lucien then They said they wanted a female character to be a big part of the Dreaming, and when they swapped Lucienne she fit the bill, but they did talk about bringing in Eve or The Mad Mod Witch to fill that role. Honestly, I love Lucienne having more to do than Lucien in the comic. I do hope we meet Eve eventually though, if only for me wanting them to do Parliament of Rooks

Popoto posted:Just got done with episode 8. Excellent adaptation imo despite the small problems. According to Neil Gaiman, they are waiting to see the data after it streamed for 28 days, which was Friday, so I assume they'll make a choice soon, and I'd imagine it gets a second season considering it constantly swapped back into the #1 spot in US and has remained #1 in many international markets.

It’s entirely possible they already know they’re going to renew it and are seeing if they can bump up their numbers even more

I suspect the question isn't whether or not it gets renewed but what budget it gets renewed at.

The Bad News: It's part of a partnership with AMC and season 2 is going to be set entirely inside an office space with the blinds down on all the windows.

This is like saying Everything Everywhere All at Once and Dr. Strange 2 are the same because they're both monetarily successful and dealt with multiverse shenanigans.

I don't really think very highly of moonnight but there was that one issue bill sienkiewicz penciled that defined his style which was then imitated by dave mckean and mike dringenberg so sandman owes a lot to moonnight

I couldn't remember the name of the story, but it's volume 1, issue #26 "hit it" if anyone's into the sandman comics and wants to see where the art style for the first two archs comes from, it's that. I wouldn't, in general, recommend reading moon night, but that issue's worth a look

Finished season one earlier. Final verdict: very solid 8.75/10 My gripes are with very minor technical stuff. Everything else i didn’t mind, even the big changes, since I know Gaiman is behind those. Author’s intent and all that (not even counting the entire theme of “every story is it’s own with a million different variations” so prevalent in Sandman, reminding everyone that different adaptations and viewpoints are fine.) I can’t wait for season two.

According to the WGA site they quietly went forward with Season 2 and are now building back their writer's room. I assume we'll get an official announcement sometime before October.

Episode 6 was one of the best hours of television I've seen in a while. The rest of it was OK. I get why they went for "dreamlike" pacing but I would have enjoyed it more if it was a little tighter. Makes me want to re-read the comics.

Open Source Idiom posted:I wouldn't celebrate yet, there have been cancelled shows where this has happened. Neil clarified that it's because they did write the scripts, but they are still waiting on the greenlight, so you could be right. But hey if they do get the go ahead, they got the scripts written so that's good. achillesforever6 posted:I would also once again recommend the audiobook since they do a really good job making Sandman into a radio play "Where is Act 3 Neil" Both Neil and Dirk Maggs, the director of the audios, have said those who have Audible credits might consider not spending it, so I think they are gonna drop it soon.

The first two covered the issues in the first two books of my hardcover sets and there four of those (of the main series at least)
