Pathways and Emanations
Pathways and Emanations | Si Spurrier
5 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
One of four books expanding Neil Gaiman's acclaimed Sandman Universe. There is a place where gods are born and stories are spun. Today its walls lie slashed and bleeding. Twenty-three years after he was anointed as its master, the lord of dreams has inexplicably abandoned his domain. Lord Daniel's absence triggers a series of crimes and calamities that consume the lives of those already tangled in his fate. Until he is found, his realm's residents must protect its broken borders alone. But the most senior storytellers are tormented by invasive secrets, the warden Lucien is doubting his own mind, and beyond the gates, something horrific awaits with tooth and talon. Only Dora, the monstrous, finds opportunity in madness, stealing dreams for the highest bidder. But she has no idea how deep the danger lies. Meanwhile, in Daniel's gallery, something new is growing... Written by fan-favorite author Si Spurrier (Motherlands, Suicide Squad) with breathtaking art by standout artist Bilquis Evely (Batman, Wonder Woman). The first book in The Sandman Universe kicks off with fireworks as The Dreaming literally tears itself apart! The Sandman Universe is a new series of books curated by Neil Gaiman for DC Vertigo. Conjuring epic storytelling and immersing readers into the evolving world of the Dreaming, The Sandman Universe begins anew with four new ongoing series, existing in a shared universe, building upon Gaiman's New York Times best-selling series that lyrically weaved together stories of dreams and magic.

I'm a longtime fan of the Sandman comics by Neil Gaiman. Is it continuing a series to start a connected but newer comic? Who knows. This is the first six comics, starting with the Dreaming without Dream, and a librarian who thinks he has lost a book....

I liked the first and second quite a bit, and some of the full page art is really astounding. The story after that felt a bit like it was going in circles. I missed Dream and his siblings!

archaeolibrarianologist @AkashaVampie @ElizaMarie You definitely need to read all of Sandman first to really understand the characters. 4y
ElizaMarie @archaeolibrarianologist I have read Sandman but its been a while. Maybe I will re-read those first! 4y
archaeolibrarianologist @ElizaMarie it's always a good time to reread Sandman. Don't forget Overture; the artwork is simply stunning. 4y

This is one of the new Sandman Universe spin-offs. This one is set in the world of the Dreaming.

I liked this one especially because it features Lucien, one of my favorites, so much. Matthew, the raven, also appears a lot it this one. I‘m not sure about the ending, but otherwise I enjoyed this story.

I may not have understood all that was going on in this first volume, but I sure as heck enjoyed the ride. Dora is my new favorite. Looking forward to more!
