This wasn't what I expected.
If you've read the Sandman Series, at the end of it, the lead character goes through a metamorphosis and becomes something newer. This overture goes back to right before the events that started the Sandman series and shows how he was able to get captured and be that vulnerable.
It's a great read and the art really does a great job of matching the originals while updating it. We get more of some of Dream's family including his parents. I liked revisiting these characters and seeing them again. It was fun to go back and it was done thoughtfully and felt fresh.
