Netflix's The Sandman official trailer
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
So I have only read bits and pieces of the comic but this trailer has me all in.
Fortunately for me my local library offers books through a digital service called Hoopla, and all of the volumes are there free for me to borrow.
Super psyched to dive in.

Love the cast. Not a fan of the direction. Especially the big and loud tear-jerking violins.
Loving the casting of Lucifer, Death and Desire from the stuff shown so far. That clip from Sound of Her Wings is pretty much perfect. Kirby Howell-Baptiste is such a great choice for Death and she played rather scene brilliantly. Likewise, Gwendoline Christie looks the part and sounds great as Lucifer from that other clip.
It's not helping the hype but it's giving me hope that they might pull it off. Still apprehensive but getting more optimistic as release draws closer.

I hope they do
it would be a nice parallel to a later scene with the guy that lived 15,000 years. They both got the same. One lifetime.
Let's all bing this show on Friday (even if you just leave it on in the background and rewatch it later at your pace). Let's just tell the f*cking algorithm that we need a season 2.
It looks so good! Just re-read the first two volumes in preparation for this, and it looks like they did a great job of keeping it faithful to the source material while also modernizing the designs quite a bit. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Ops, I was so excited for the series that I mixed up the dates. It is Friday next week.
Gaiman answered your question if you're curious
Never thought i´ll see a live action rendition of the corinthian, and seeing this lucifer makes me even more dissapointed in the lucifer we actually got. I´m really interested in this after all the previews
Yep, 50 yr old man here in tears because his favourite ever comic has been brought to life and is as emotional as it was in print.
Fuck the haters, she's perfect.
After seeing the trailer and reading the comments in this thread I'm considering diving into the comic.
Im looking at the Absolute editions, can anyone recommend them? They are quite expensive but they look damn good. The Omnibus also seems good, and actually cheaper, but might be too big to read comfortably.

I own the Absolute editions and they're magnificent. The perfect balance between display pieces and reading size.
People weren't joking when they said there is gazillion different editions of the comic. This thing has preprints like Skyrim has re-releases.
If I wanted something that can be bit of an display piece, but also good to read is Absolute Edition way to go? How about The Deluxe Edition, which seems to be latest special release? What are differences?
How many volumes there is in these collection formats? 4?

That's exactly what I needed to hear thanks.
I just ordered all 6 of them. Now the only question is if I should read the comics before I watch the show.
HYPE.
I remember only reading the first... two? issues of Overture and I liked them. Even if you don't like the narrative, the art is insanely good (as it usually is with JH Williams III)
Question… I've only heard most of the first part of the audio version that's on Audible.
Will this have the Justice League stuff?
Will this have the Justice League stuff?
DC can't even get get it's mainstream version right I would say not!
This looks amazing. So many great shows airing over the next several weeks - on multiple, different, streaming services.
More than likely not. While there is some Crossover with the Endless and the DCU as a whole pretty much after the first couple of issues they stopped referencing it and treated it like it was its own world.
I just realised how :
inspired :
Yes, its Gabriel, not lucifer, but it's uncanny how similar.
And, of course, it all comes back to 60s David Bowie in the end đź¤
2:03's transition from old tavern to modern pub is some Hob Gadling hype.
I once again urge people to see the Neil Gaiman breakdown of the trailer since he basically talks about everything

Neil Gaiman Breaks Down Netflix's 'The Sandman' Official Trailer | Vanity Fair

the long story short is "it will depend how important and if the character appear again and stuff like this".
Like john was basically an easter egg, and we meet joahana again later, so it made sense to make the connection more important than the cameo.
So my bet is Wesley Doods absolutely, Element Girl probably yes, Martian Manhunter probably not and Batman absolutely not
c'mon, most understandable change ever =P
Yes. Overture adds another layer to the entire thing that isn't necessary but is welcomed plus it's the best looking comic of all time
Absolutely
If anything, Overture is the most beautiful art I ever saw in a comic. It is absurd how beautiful is the art in some of the pages.
J.H. Williams III is a genious
hell, i would say the only thing that i count as "complete sandman" is the first 4 absolutes (1-75), Endless Nights (which is included in absolute 5) and Overture. Maybe Absolute Death.
Everything else is fluff. Some amazingly good fluff, but fluff
Just absolutely talented and an unmatched use of mixed media
Not a fan of the lens they seem to be using here. Makes the picture seems a bit blurry and vertically stretched ever-so-slightly. It seems to be a creative decision, and it does add to the otherworldly feeling, but it's too distracting for my eyes.
And, of course, it all comes back to 60s David Bowie in the end đź¤
It all, always come back to Bowie, the og shapeshifter
