[QUOTE="Jordan Cole, post: 2897, member: 282"] Sandman, the comic book, features TONS of DC characters and references who pre-existed before Gaiman's series. One of the most fun things (to me) about Sandman was Gaiman's brilliant use of these things from DC comics, some obscure, some not, but how it all thematically works for what Gaiman is doing, peeling back the curtain behind reality. I often see people say they don't care about the DC references or think they have any value, that they are best ignored or not worried about, but I think that's a shame. It's putting aside such a fun, fascinating, dense layer of Gaiman's Sandman. I'm currently doing a read following Lyta Hall's character arc, starting in Wonder Woman #300, through Infinity Inc, then her story in Sandman and then everything after. Here's a great site that goes through all of the DC stuff in Sandman. And yes, it's way more than you think, and no, I bet none of it will be in the Netflix show, which is obviously understandable, but for me will mean a loss of some of the magic that makes the comic so brilliant: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.panix.com/~alexx/sandman.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
