It's important to note that Neil Gaiman has stated multiple times that he already had his fill with 1:1 adapting the comic. He did that recently with an awesome audiobook production [that cast is insane].
For TV show, he sad they want to adapt and modernize as much as they want. That we should expect changes.

Is there a version of the audiobook synced up with the actual comics?
Wow I can totally see him as Constantine.

Earlier this week Deadline reported Taron Egerton was attached to The Sandman so I hope he's in negotiations to be John Constantine.
Really great casting so far. I wonder who they'll cast as Doctor Destiny, he's a very interesting character and had an amazing performance in the audiodrama by William Hope.
That issue is the stuff of nightmares (no pun intended). Really devastating ending, too.
oh yeah, he'd be great too!
My bet is that they do the exact same coverage of the recent audiobook in a season.
Lucifer only shows when Dream goes to hell looking for his tools, and Corinthian is the final arc of the season.
I'll miss the random DC Comics characters appearing. I am VERY curious to see how this plays out though. Sandman was one of my FAVORITE comics when I was a teenager.
That almost seems like they'd be rushing it... Depending on the length of an episode, I'd almost prefer one issue = one episode (something like "24 Hours" or "The Sound of Her Wings" really deserve their own episodes), with a season (8-10 episodes) taking up just one of the collected graphic novels. It would make sure there's plenty of time to set the tone and make sure everything gets covered.
That said, I haven't listened to the audio book, so I'm not sure how it's paced.
The audiobook is 11 hours long. I think it is pretty close to a 1:1 adaptation, but it's been a while since I read the comic.
A version of this done like the Watchmen motion comic would be incredible.
As someone who followed each page, it is super close adaptation... but the narrator mentions lots of stuff super fast that would take some time in the tv show, like characters moving from place to place.
I was not expeting much, but after seeing Lucifer and Lucienne casting, I'm really excited and curious about the direction this is going. I LOVE IT.
I hope Desire is in season 1.

They already mentioned it is only Preludes and Nocturnes ... so unless there are major changes, Desire is season 2 only
Yeah, I'm just counting on those changes really. If not that, a Death appearance would be good enough for me.
The recent audible audiobook blew me away so I'm really looking forward to what they do with this.
To be fair Tilda is perfect for like 5 sandman characters
I personally think they will wait for the series to have more money and cast Tilda as Desire
Neil Gaiman's Sandman Getting Audio Drama with James McAvoy, Kat Dennings, Riz Ahmed, Taron Egerton, More
Can’t wait for it to become a TV series...

This was the day I knew this was coming.
Concepts looked awesome
I found this tweet and i want to express a correction to my previously stated stuff
]
Season 1 will INDEED feature not just preludes and nocturnes but also Doll House
Which means
10 episodes for 2 arcs (16 issues)

I just hope they give it enough room to breathe, I wouldn't want them to rush through and not give these stories their due.
Although there is some stuff they can do to trim it down, like moving Nada's story to S2, making for a smoother segue into Season of Mists.

Are the comics at least at all related to the Lucifer that also currently has a TV show on Netflix? lol
I'd say he's probably closer related to Peter Stormare's character from the Keanu Reeves movie.
If they really wanted to fuck with people, they should have Keanu play Constantine (it's basically a cameo for like, one issue).
Sturridge will either be brilliant or completely irritating, there will be no in between, lol. To be positive, I'm hoping for the former. Christie as Lucifier sounds fantastic.
Oh, wow, I had no this existed! I'll have to check it out.

It SHOULD have been the same character but it is a shitty adaptation =P
That version of Lucifer started on sandman and got a spinoff and that spinoff is the basis for the Lucifer tv show
I can see them leaving Nada story to be told together with Season of Mists in the probably season 2, but don't they dare not including Hob's story in the first season. So around 15 issues.
They just need a super crossover to merge the different universes. lol
