It's also worth noting that Jed's dreamworld is based on an old early 20-th century newspaper comic strip called Little Nemo in Slumberland about a child's adventures in dreams. Gaiman doesn't just mine old and obscure DC comics for materail; he mines EVERYTHING.
Lmfao imagine thinking any African country, much less 10,000 years ago, being as advanced as this work depicts them to be. Nada should suffer in her cell for another 10,000 years; what a joke racial empathy is for mankind

@@chipmunkspodcast2986 nope, i'm not into audiobooks. I got that from someone who uploaded it on youtube 9 months ago, i then converted it into m4a and uploaded it to mega
There's that other side-comic, "Death: The High Cost of Living" where Death spends one day out of each century as a mortal, then dies herself. I feel like Dream hanging out with Hob once per century is like his version of that. Checking in with humanity to remind himself what it's like to be one of them, or in his case what it's like to have a friend.
Just reading these comments, im glad others feel the same way I do about this being the best part of my Sundays. Danny, your background music timing is awesome, it really draws me in to your videos. Thanks for the hard work. You have really become a staple in my weekend
I’ve been waiting for months... every time you say you’ll do sandman and it’s finally here!! I almost cried. Thank you so much and keep up the awesome work PLEASE!
Thanks for all the added detail regarding Brute and Glob and Hector and Lyta. I had a vague understanding of some of those points, but you made things a lot clearer for me. One thing you missed that was mentioned in the recent audiobook was Gilbert's strong resemblance to G.K. Chesterton. I'm guessing that author's appearance is probably somewhat iconic in the UK and that British readers recognized it instantly, even though most Americans were probably completely unaware of it like me.
The cereal con reminds me of AHS's Devil's Night though Dahmer, March and the Nightstalker weren't as colourful;o) Super heroes, sentinels, gods... but a woman shifting into an animal is too out there?^^ Your delivery is great, love seeing characters I know from "The Books of Magic". Will you cover them, too?
I love your content...I'm a lifelong reader and most of your breakdowns are so insightful...keep up the more than excellent work...been subbed for a awhile now and I always look forward to your uploads!!!
I can a hundred percent understand why issue number 13 is your favorite of volume 2. Morpheus at any time could have done away with the man’s immortality, even after he’s gotten the “information” he desired as said. And I think there is two reasons he didn’t. The first being the fact that he deep down knew but couldn’t admit to himself that he wanted someone he could spend some of his eternal lifetime with, something he would never be able to experience himself. And the second being, that he is a man of his word. I forshadow that “collecting” the child belonging to his realm refers to her passing and his “adoption” of her child. Because as cold and heartless as he may seem, I feel he recognizes that there is a reason for cruelty, it’s purpose not a pleasure. Hence why he tells his friend to get out of such a needlessly cruel thing that shouldn’t happen. Side note, I think the information Morpheus would have wanted from an immortal mortal, would be “how does it feel to live forever in a world ever changing, losing those you care for deeply, never having a true place in the world you live in anymore?” I think it’s a double sided blade, on one he knows in some part that he has lived through such things, or will eventually, and knowing what will come he will know how to manage it. The other side is, he wants to know how a mortal would feel on such issues given that their finite lives would never have to face such issues, which begs the question he could assume to wish to see answered, “how would they fare? Would they crumble and wish for the end? Would they overcome this torment? And if they do, how do they do so? What drives them to continue going forward?” Which would be a funny way of foreshadowing, in terms of the storyline, that Morpheus begs a question he himself has to find an answer to, “what do I do? How do I keep going?”
i enjoyed the first video on the series but i have to say that the condescending comments when it came to nada’s story were really unnecessary. things like her falling in love at first sight, running from morpheus, talking birds, etc. we’re all explained but you seemed to suggest that they were ridiculous simply because it was akin to an african folktale… as if we aren’t reading about a humanlike personification of dream. that story deserved just as much respect as you gave the others. idk man, that whole section was just really uncomfy.
Thanks for this content, I'm actually catching up before the netflixshow starts. 1:01:16 actually the bogeyman died in louisiana in Swamp Thing vol.2 no. 44
Man thank you for being you, I’m chillin at work nd your comic explanations are saving my life😂🤣😭I’ve been here since your first go on reading the boys on this channel
When you gave the disclaimer about the African tale having talking animals and to be prepared because it's unrealistic in volume one we literally had morpheus fight demons and beheld captive for decades and gargoyles I just think that disclaimer was not needed lol
a freaking COMICbook w/ a story designed around mythological constructs....What's that U say I may need to suspend a lotta extra reality because we are talking African fantasy..? FFS, why????
I think thats because Nada IS a human in the story, which is why he added that disclaimer. Gargoyles, demons and Morpheus are all supernatural being, so human rules, law or logic are simply not working on them.
Should probably have mentioned that the reason the Family Man doesn't arrive at the convention is because of the events of Hellblazer issues 24-30, when he is shot by John Constantine.
Thank you for this re reas and analysis. I had alot off trouble understanding some of it when i read it but know i have a better grasp of what went down
In all these stories, you find the African folktale to be odd? Like that is where you draw the line on strangeness. The guy with teeth for eyes is fine, but talking birds in a folktale is odd.
Sorry to ask this again, but how many weeks will Sandman be going? I love this story so far. The Audible version got me hooked and I can’t wait to see how you treat us with the rest of Gaiman’s story.
this comic is really hard to fallow by someone who is not a DC veteran i guess, it's too weird for me to find it appealing, i guess the nostalgia factor is what made this comic so popular back in the day. thanks for doing a tale review for it though. hey! in the TV series Sandman was kept in prison for 117 so years, but this means the story ark of Job won't have a good ending because Sandman wont be able to accomplish his appointment with job every 100 years. Or if they do, in this case Job will assume Sandman is not his friend.
Never read it actually. But I do want to check it out, I’ve heard about it. I could see myself getting to that one day, but that would be farther out, cause I have a whole bunch of stuff I want to get to first.
@@dannymalt I'm sure. You are doing a great job and my hats off to you. Its mostly me being selfish since I only got to read the Moore issues and would kill to see what Gaiman did with the series. The last few Moore issues are drawn by Totleben and are nicely violent.
More than any of the other volumes in the Sandman series, this one serves as a sequel to Alan Moore’s Swam Thing. Cain and Able, along with their houses, were first reintroduced in Swamp Thing following the cancellation of their individual ‘House of...’ horror comics. Matthew the Raven is implied to be Matthew Cable, the first husband of Swamp Thing’s love interest Abigail Arcane. The first Boogie Man was killed in Swamp Thing (leaving room for an imposter in Sandman). I read Sandman first, but i understood it a little more after having read Swamp Thing.
@@dannymalt In retrospect, the early (first 25 or so) issues read almost like Swamp Thing fanfic (which I don’t mean as an insult). This is due to sheer volume of overlapping supporting characters featured and referenced (Cain, Able, Constantine, Matthew, Etigan, the Boogie Man). The early issues are also closely tied to the horror genre as a result. As the story progresses, and we get more organic world-building, the genre shifts away from Swamp Thing’s horror genre and more into fantasy and myth. It is an interesting evolution to read over the run.
Danno, homie you have a way of giving these old comics life. You can make the Constitution sound interesting, very talented. Keep grinding, It'll pay off bruh, bruh.
Hello Danny malt. Are you reading Dreaming : Waking Hours??? If you are there is a character named Heather After and she is the great grand daughter of Ethel Cripps and Roderick Burgess according to the book. But She had only one son who was John Dee or doctor destiny so, did he had a child????? What is the explanation???
Jeb Walker sounds like a Harry Potter precursor. Make you wonder, who really wrote the Harry Potter series. It can't be the same person who wrote Fantastic Beast: and the Crimes of Grindelwald?
spoiler from the video It was established that mortals getting with the Endless causes something bad. Since Desire got with Unity shouldn't something bad have happened or continually happen since Rose is like a half mortal half endless? Is this related to why she got the 'dream vortex' or is this not explained?
If the Fiddlers Green isnt based on the big dude from A Confederacy of Dunces then I dont know who it could be. Ignatius P. Reilly it just came back to me its a spitting image
Thank you for this incredible well produced recap! Also.. I finally start to understand what bothered me about the Netflix adaptation. At first I suspected the pacing might have been off... but now I know it wasn't the reason. While the race-swaps still do not bother me at all, I think the biggest problem is that the story was rearranged to much too fit some conventional storytelling in film adaptations. It seems that they wanted less episodic storytelling, so they tried to forcefully reconnect/rearrange all the pieces.... and THAT didn't work too well in my oppinion... and it tends to give a weird aftertaste. The weirdest thing is that it wasn't even neccessary to shorten it up. Thank you for this comic recap so far! Your's is the first "explaning" content which made me understand all the appreciation for these comics. Can't wait to see the remaining parts. You have done great work recapping the comics in a very entertaining way. ❤
The only thing irking me is the constant she-her, he-she, brother-sister.... "they" and "sibling" exist and are far more comfortable to listen to, the other creations always make me stumble over the words

love your breakdowns
Thanks for another great video Danny

Yes
Does anyone know where the image of the Corinthian (from preview of the video, and also from the video 17:31 on the right) is from?
Please comics story of CROSSOVER
Thanks again Danny. I love this
