Guide to The Sandman Universe Graphic Novels

#thedreaming #hellblazer #houseofwhispers #booksofmagic #lucifer
I discuss and review The Sandman Universe books: House of Whispers, The Dreaming, Books of Magic, Hellblazer and Lucifer. Are any of them good? Are they all good? I hope to answer those questions!

That intro though...👌🔥

[@OmnidogsVault]

Thanks! It’s by Redcoat Turncoat and the full one minute vid is on my channel!

[@benjamingallarreta2176]

I have been looking for this guide in spanish but i couldn't find it anywhere. Now, finally! Thank You!

[@OmnidogsVault]

glad to help!!

[@robertwkeating]

Jess, this overview is so great and perfectly timed! I just ordered the first two Sandman Dlx Ed hardcovers, so I'm about to embark into the Sandman Universe. I look forward to diving into these spin-off stories as well!

[@OmnidogsVault]

that's great!! Looking forward to what you think of Sandman!

[@superdragonz1]

I just bought the first Sandman Omni and I’m so excited to get into this universe

[@timcline9689]

I've been eyeing these a lot since I recently acquired and started reading absolute sandman. Great content and vid as always good sir.

[@OmnidogsVault]

Thanks for watching!! Hope i helped you!!

[@emmetbayne2561]

Thanks so much for this video! I just finished reading Sandman in preparation for the tv series and loved it, and I was hoping there was more to read!

[@OmnidogsVault]

So glad you found it helpful!!

[@theartistformerlyknownasje6358]

Looks like will get a oversized hardcover or omnibus now.Thanks 👍🐶

[@OmnidogsVault]

Wait a minute!! You didn't exist 8 months ago!! Does YT automatically go back and change your avatar? No YT couldn't be that cool.. did you go back and change your name and avatar for this!?!?!?

[@comicsvstheworld]

Perfect timing! I'm just on book 4 of the original Sandman volumes, so wondering what else to pick up when I eventually finish them.

[@OmnidogsVault]

So glad i could help!

[@joechip8666]

I am currently binging on mangas but this video made me read Sandman again. You saved me from the dark side once again Jess.

[@OmnidogsVault]

Yay!!!!

[@buggydes]

This was very helpful Jess. Wiill be checking out both Hellblazer and Lucifer! Thanks!

[@OmnidogsVault]

Just saw this now, did you buy/read either of those?

[@buggydes]

@@OmnidogsVault Hi Jess! I've bought the books but yet to read them im afraid. lol. Will get to them eventually! Been on a Kelly Thompson's reading spree

[@OmnidogsVault]

@@buggydes awesome!! What are you reading by her? She's fantastic!!

[@ScrewtopReviews]

I have a love hate relationship with DC. They've always been my favorite. I'm still upset with them for canceling Sandman Hellblazer. It's my understanding that it was "not renewed" but not canceled so that means it could come back? IDK. DC finally gets a gem and just throws it away for another gimmick.

[@OmnidogsVault]

It’s quite amazing that they finally get a writer who gets John perfectly and then toss it in the bin. Really frustrating

[@ScrewtopReviews]

@@OmnidogsVault I just finished the last issue and those one or two open-ended plot points just gutted me.

[@LuocasKitten]

I enjoyed the CW series too and it got cancelled...but the shitshow this is Lucifer has over 7 seasons?!

[@TheMightySilverback_]

There were a bunch of spoilers in this, frankly this is NOT a recommendable video to new readers of the Sandman universe, might be okay for someone who started and got lost or something but definitely not new readers.

[@omarreyesjr1920]

This was helpful but I think I need to read Sandman first before delving into all these side series. OKAY I said I'd bug u again after Turkey Day, where is part 2 of the fantasy video!? Lol. And finally, let me know if I was right on the green catwoman costume on Instagram. Thanks Jess!!!

[@nathanbronars]

Awesome video like always. I always try to find and watch all your videos. I’m sure you don’t remember but I asked you what Omni I should get for my birthday and what you recommended which was Jason Aaron Star Wars Omni and I loved it! You were so right and I’m forever in your debt! I’m only sticking to your vids and recommendations. So with that should I get for Xmas Wolverine or Hellblazer by Garth Ennis Omni? Thanks Jess.

[@OmnidogsVault]

Nathan! I'm so sorry, I'm just now seeing this! And I blew it for your Christmas present! I'm really sorry, are you still out there buddy?

[@nathanbronars]

@@OmnidogsVault no problem. I’m still here. No worries.

@@nathanbronars what did you end up getting for Christmas lol??

[@nathanbronars]

@@OmnidogsVault I got hellblazer

[@OmnidogsVault]

@@nathanbronars Awesome!! Exactly what I would have suggested!!

[@brianlong88]

I have a question, would you say Hellblazer is new reader friendly? I’ve only read him in other things most recently JL Dark and his appearances in Paul Dini’s Zatanna. So I’m not very well versed in John Constantine. Thanks for all the content you put out, your videos help me get through the work week! It’s always a good day with an Omnidog video is released! ✌️❤️✌️❤️

[@OmnidogsVault]

thank you so much for the nice compliment! I would start with the first Hellblazer trade from the original run, Original Sins by Jamie Delano. That's where I started back in single issues when it first came out and I had no problem. It's not the best hellblazer run but you won't know that yet since you haven't read any of the great runs lol!! So yeah, it's new reader friendly if you start there!

[@brianlong88]

@@OmnidogsVault thank you!!

[@jacoposgiatti2564]

Will you speak about lucifer 4 and hellblazer 2?

[@cultfilmvideo6936]

Man, you really like comics. They are pretty cool.

[@OmnidogsVault]

I LOVE comics!!!

[@pieroparra2951]

I have a doubt here, Mike Carey's Lucifer is the same that shows now in the new comics? Is he like a rebooted character since DC rebirth? Also in the DC wiki I've found a black haired Lucifer :/ someone help me please

[@senzetion]

Do you have any idea if Waking hours will get a release as a TP as well? I wasn't able to find any information about. And you're right these books are fantastic and are above average comic level

[@OmnidogsVault]

I'm genuinely surprised this isn't out yet. It's hit the 6-issue mark where DC usually makes its TPB's. DC seems committed to this series and G Willow Wilson. So I'm baffled why this hasn't been published yet. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

[@senzetion]

@@OmnidogsVault then let's hope that they will release a print version of it. Over here in Germany I could only get the issues as digital comic which is not what I would want. The last issue is listed for August I think so hopefully we will get a TPB by the end of the year. And thanks for answering even though my comment came in quite late considering the upload date of the video

[@OmnidogsVault]

@@senzetion Always happy to answer questions, no matter when they come in!

[@fandomicvideos3105]

It got solicitated as a 12 issue TP recently

[@OmnidogsVault]

[@leandro5580]

Lucifer,Books Of Magic and House of Whispers Continues,or ends in 24 issues ?Sorry my bad English

[@johnnyg9223]

Jess you are not wrong. My favorite issue is number 7. It blew my mind at the end. I can’t believe DC cancelled this series. I was so upset bc Spurrier was absolutely masterful in the series.

[@OmnidogsVault]

It’s extremely disappointing

[@OmnidogsVault]

I already replied to this once but I feel so strongly about it that I’m going to comment again: DC barely knows what they’re doing. If DC were a person it would die because it wouldn’t remember to breathe

[@johnnyg9223]

@@OmnidogsVault i agree whole heartedly. So much so that i even signed a an online petition to not have the series cancelled.

I’ve never read any sandmand and i found ‘overture’ for 2 dlls so i bought it. Idk if that should be my first one though.

[@andreac4757]

@Balazs Lorinczi i will try to read the series first then, it’s just so expensive for me 😓 but thank you!

[@uglystrawberry]

are any of these being printed in hard cover ? any hardcover collections ?

[@OmnidogsVault]

As of right now, no unfortunately

[@ta5777]

Do you think any of these books may get the Deluxe Edition treatment? Thanks!

[@OmnidogsVault]

This is such a hard question to answer! DC is so inconsistent with deluxe books, somehow preferring to put out standard sized ones. My guess is that these might get some kind of Sandman Universe omnibus but that's a guess lol. DC was dumb enough to cancel Spurrier's Constantine after 12 issues and it was the best Constantine since the original Hellblazer.

[@ta5777]

@@OmnidogsVault when you sat original hellblazer do you mean the Jamie Delano run or the Garth Ennis? Was gonna start the Delano run tmrw.

[@rpf8949]

I only have enough money for one omnibus - should I get Lucifer or Hellblazer?

I would get Hellblazer by Garth Ennis!

[@OmnidogsVault]

these would be read after you finish Sandman, did I understand your question correctly?

[@lovorka3321]

@@OmnidogsVault I thought you talked in video to read Dreaming etc before Sandman chronicles

[@OmnidogsVault]

@@lovorka3321 I don't remember saying that in the video but you should read the Sandman series before you read these. I may have misspoken but definitely read these after

[@loki_ikol]

Lol you dropped the biggest spoiler in sandman. Daniel.....

[@OmnidogsVault]

Didn’t that happen over 20 years ago though? Is it really a spoiler at this point? Not arguing just asking!

[@loki_ikol]

@@OmnidogsVault well I got into the sandman universe when they started publishing the 30th anniversary editions. So essentially I read it in 2020 😄, I recommended it to a couple of my friends and they have started it as well, sandman isn't as popular in the third world nations as the mainstream superheroes.So, technically it still is a spoiler for a lot of people. We haven't witnessed era defining comics like watchmen, or sandman or even stand alone graphic novels like daytripper just because of the lack of comic book stores in our country😅 I'm pretty sure at least one of my friends will be disappointed since she is still stuck on the 6th book

[@OmnidogsVault]

Ok I’ll keep that in mind, it didn’t occur to me! Sorry!

[@a_teonnai-ki8049]

@@OmnidogsVault These guides are not aimed for those who read original Sandman 20 years ago I believe. But rather for people like me who are just getting introduced to Sandman universe. Therefore dropping spoilers like that really ruins it. Would be great if you would add spoiler alert to the video in future if not try to avoid spoilers at all

[@OmnidogsVault]

@@a_teonnai-ki8049 ok I totally apologize and will avoid all spoilers in the future!
