Homie this is bull Why did this have to be convoluted at the end

[@gokublaclivesmatter8410]

DANNY KEEP UP WITH THE SANDMAN CONTENT 👍🏽👍🏽

[@bazbloodwolf]

Also Glory telling Dream that he would remember Hope's name when he needs it most is a call back to how he wins the duel in Hell in Preludes and Nocturns :)

[@dannymalt]

It’s such a great connection between Overture and Volume 1. I forgot about that moment when I recorded this video, but when I watched season 1 and they did the hell battle, and Morpheus said he was hope, I made the connection to overture and thought it was a really cool Easter egg.

[@Ifitaintshotbyvon]

I just literally finished binge watching your Sandman coverage series literally 5 minutes ago for the whole day and I was surprise you just uploaded this one 22m minutes ago.

[@brandonsmith7827]

Must of been an amazing surprise 😅 I would of felt like he was sending me a message or something lmao

[@Ifitaintshotbyvon]

@@brandonsmith7827 got goosebumps when I saw the upload.

[@touchbytonymikael]

Yeah🤭Me too💯🤝

[@TheDarkWan]

Dreams do come true huh :)

[@gokublaclivesmatter8410]

Me 2 we need more

[@DJJunkfoodJay]

I love many artists, but JH Williams III is hands down the best artist working in the industry currently. The way he switches and blends styles is masterful.

[@whssy]

When he goes full on Moebius in the scene in the desert with the rock spires it is absolutely indistinguishable from the work of great man himself.

[@SovietMoviesExplained]

A couple more easter eggs to mention: In "the Kindly Ones" Dream gets exactly the same scar (and with the same scorpion weapon), as Alienora does in Overture. It was in one of the interviews, that the first visit to Father Time occurred on the pages that you showed at 26:00 There Dream disappears for one panel. 🤗

[@brandonsmith7827]

Hey Danny, I just wanted to say thanks for all the work you put into these comic readings and how you always upload on time on Sunday I started watching you when you uploaded the criminal comics, and I’ve been hooked ever since, the videos you post have honestly helped me get through a pretty rough divorce a little while back, so just sincerely thank you man. I’m a fan for life.

[@christianvenson1563]

I love the vulnerability Danny shows when he says I hope it's a good man referring to the show

[@otaha1988]

Hopes name being the was a reference to the duel in hell interesting. Also she did help beat anti life so that's cool.

[@ericbarnett9864]

Good job on covering The Sandman series. Neil is one of my top 5 writers.

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

I really appreciate the theme of holding a grudge and the damage it can do that surround The Sandman stories. Morpheus needed to learn more from his siblings on how to live in peace.

[@TheLyng25]

So happy your doing this new material. Love your break downs and you introduced me to sandman comics

[@CSM100MK2]

Great work,thanks for all your awesome effort and other videos!

[@Brri88]

Thank you for continuing this series! Could you also do Sandman Endless Nights and Dream Hunters??

[@josss364]

thank you!!! i just watched all your Sandman videos, now im on my way to your review of the series, i really enjoyed, really want a season 2

[@MrChadaruth]

This was a lot of fun on my first go through with you. Having you put things together makes things way more enjoyable

[@dannymalt]

Overture was really convoluted to me in the beginning. But once I fully understood it all, it was pretty enjoyable. Just a lot of work to understand it all.

[@MrChadaruth]

@@dannymalt thanks for putting the work on to connect the dots for us!

[@whssy]

I only got round to reading Overture a couple of months ago - despite having read the entire Sandman series as it came out, and multiple times since. I found it really hard to read - not because of the story but because of the text on colour and my deteriorating eyesight. I really need a bigger edition than the deluxe hardback I bought. I have the Absolute editions up to vol. 5 and even the bigger format of that will not be big enough for my terrible vision. So this video was rather helpful - reading the book actually gave me a headache. Also just realised from this video how much the Morpheus of Overture more closely resembles Jack White than Pete Murphy.

[@therealistintheboot8822]

Yeah I had to reread it on my big tablet to really take everything all in and understand it all because of how text bubbles and art was set up but once I got everything I loved this one for sure. I really loved the ending and Cat(desire) was the MVP of this story though. I really loved the art because I guess the artist was going for a dreamy look but yeah lol if someone doesn't have good eyesight and take their time they won't understand a damn thing at times.

[@JTS616]

Thank you for covering this!!! I forgot a lot of it and have been waiting for you to get to it.

[@mishkosimonovski23]

I don't know if the series will do justice to this books.... but the Comics are one of the best stories, and your narration and music makes it that much better.

[@R3TR0_123]

Loved the original sandman series happy to see more from this world

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

Wow! I’m blown away at how good this story was. Morpheus and Desire make a good team. Desire knows how to help his/her stubborn brother when he needs help. I also like the inclusion of all the endless and their parents. The art is also mind lowering and beautiful. I hope there are more stories like this.

[@dilipjija4848]

Hi love your work 😍 it's hard for me to read every issue of a comic because of work i do , But your video on comic let me injoy life

[@prabhashbachhuwan2136]

Thanks for uploading this please upload more sandman content!

[@3dthedestroyer328]

Awesome job Danny.

[@gordonp57]

I agree with your comments at the end. At first I hovered between excellent and awful, opting for the former in the end. Sandman is a bit of a journey but well worth it in the end 👍✌

[@zaviermichael6281]

59:19 that guy next to the big brain looks like morbius

[@CactusJackIV]

Morpheus seem to always be getting caught. I also like the little guy that looks like Morbius(around 59:21), he has a red speech bubble.

[@bendover9813]

Goddamn bro, Mistress Night was THICC

[@judithhansford4629]

Really enjoy you videos.

[@meljunadriano857]

Love this! Are you going to post about Endless Night and Dream Hunters too?

[@Adriel_Aviado]

I just finish watching your sandman series. I love the endless. My favorite is destruction. He understood that there was gonna be destruction with or without him. Humans were gonna do that to themselves either way.

[@asahel980]

I really wish you do mangas too.

[@dannymalt]

I unfortunately don’t read mangas. Also manga companies from what I’ve heard aren’t as friendly and tend to take down a lot of videos on KZbin.

[@claudiaakosta]

As always extraordinary work Danny, I will waiting for the continuation of Paper Girls.

[@bigmoneyshmoneymaker7697]

your a blessing for reading more sandman.... already watched the whole show lol

You save me bruh English is my 4th language tnx for these explanation it helps me alot

[@SOLOTUYA]

Hi, do you have the Lucifer series by any chance? I would love to hear you cover this. I loved your sandman cover and many Batman ones aswell. Thanks for this 😊

[@dannymalt]

I have not done any Lucifer, but maybe in the future.

[@zackalexon7020]

You should cover Lucifer, I really liked it and wanna see your explanation of it. That is only if you want to

[@MaryS2022]

Glad you reviewed this, Danny! Are you going to review Endless Nights?

[@dannymalt]

I’m not sure, I don’t love Endless Nights, cause it is just a whole bunch of short stories, but I’m debating it.

[@MaryS2022]

@@dannymalt thanks for the quick response. I love The Sandman as a whole (comic book series, audio drama, and Netflix show) and have seen all of your videos covering it. :)

I guess desire averted a cat-astrophe. Okay I'll show myself out.

Yes but you can have a belly rub and a treat first.

Will you be doing Sandman vol. 11 "Endless Nights"? And, perhaps the "Dream Hunters"?

I enjoyed this much more on this channel. When I read this years ago I was just confused

Yeah. Just Binge your Sandman serios and i liked very much🤗Thank you 👐

[@timothymoore71]

As much as he gets imprisoned by others he should be called the god of captivity.

[@blitzknight5371]

You should cover Robinson's starman or Morrison's animal man

[@lollypuddn]

How did Desire make something of that is Dream? How is he capable of such a thing>

Was focusing on Sandman this weekend. But will be back with Paper Girls next weekend.

[@RawB242]

Not a sandman fan...i thought i would not like the paper girls story *because its about 4 females...im not going to lie* so i didnt watch the 1st video. On the 2nd week i decided to watch one and two the same day and now im kind of intetested. Cant wait unril we get back to that comic again

[@rackadactal4466]

I love the artwork I remember when a friend and fellow artist of mine gave me his entire collection before they moved to Colorado to become a Muslim and he couldn’t have such things and I kept them in mint condition and then one night our apartment building was set on fire by a evicted tenant and they were all destroyed by water also first print vol 1-4 of TMNT I’m still sick about it and that was 20 years ago but I was so heartbroken I never finished reading it and gave up collecting comics but I’m really enjoying the Netflix’s adaptation well except for all the woke stuff

[@shindig9000]

It just doesn't make enough sense.

[@therealistintheboot8822]

You have to take your time because of the dreamy art and have read the other Sandman comics to understand the mythos and rules of the universe you know. I thought it was great but yeah I had to reread it slower to understand everything because of how the speech bubbles were placed on the insane art. 8/10 for me.

[@shindig9000]

@@therealistintheboot8822 put in all but it just doesn't make sense how the new sandman was able to return the watch thing to a universe that didn't exist anymore because everything was rewritten? Like it was literally just not the same father time essentially.

[@therealistintheboot8822]

@@shindig9000 Hmmm maybe OG Dream set up something to make sure he went found the clock at the right time? Also since this is a prequel everything that happened this story would be in Dreams library.

[@shindig9000]

@@therealistintheboot8822 I don't think it can work that way either because even him himself didn't remember anything from what got reset if I remember correctly.

[@therealistintheboot8822]

@@shindig9000 Hmm this might give me a reason to reread it to see what I missed, it might be something in the other Sandman comics that would explain how New Dream has knowledge from OG Dream. I still liked it overall but yeah New Dream having knowledge of when and where to get the clock needed to be explained better though.
