Neil Gaiman's Sandman is considered by many - me included - to be among the greatest comic series ever written. So even the sniff of a rumor of the man working on some new stories for Morpheus of The Endless should be enough to get fans very excited. Apparently Gaiman was approached by DC a few year s ago to write a prequel of sorts called Sandman Zero, which would have dealt with Morpheus's capture and imprisonment at the hands of a group of Occultists who had actually been trying to capture his sister, Death. Negotiations didn't work out, but now there are whispers of the project - or something like it - resurfacing.
Bleeding Cool report from Comic-Con..
Now, seemingly in the light of Before Watchmen, DC have approached Neil Gaiman again. And based on the bar talk at San Diego last night, we can presume that this time, if it is indeed the same Sandman premise and not something new, negotiations have been more successful.
And that's not all - the site also hear that superb
Batwoman artist JH Williams III may also be involved. This is all just rumor for now of course, but we will update if any more info becomes available.
