The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country Vol. 1 by Lisandro Estherren, James Tynion IV
4.0

Great stuff.

Basically our favorite serial killer is back, Corinthian, and he wants to find out what's happening with a girl named Madison when she draws a man with teeth as eyes...which would be the Corinthian. This leads him to try and figure out what's happening but two others, Mr. Agony and Ecstasy come in to try and murder her. Leading through a bloody good time.

The first 5 issues cover the main story. Corinthian always was a interesting character to me and kind of a sad one created by Dreaming and also dismantled by him too after he started killing. This leads to a new version of the character but a even more interesting one. Madison is a strong and fun lead and her ending is only the start. I will say the issue 6 feels disjointed and a bit too meta but the ending does set up something interesting.

A 4 out of 5.
