Twenty-five years since The Sandman changed the landscape of modern comics, Neil Gaiman's legendary series is back!
The Sandman: Overture heralds New York Times best-selling writer Neil Gaiman's return to the art form that made him famous, ably abetted by JH Williams III, whose lush, widescreen images provide an epic scope to The Sandman's origin story. From the birth of a galaxy to the moment that Morpheus is captured, The Sandman: Overture will feature cameo appearances by
fan-favorite characters such as The Corinthian, Merv Pumpkinhead and, of course, the Dream King's siblings: Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium, Destruction and Destiny.
"People have often asked me what happened to Morpheus to make it possible for him to be captured in The Sandman #1," Gaiman said. "And now they get to find out. And finding out, they get to learn secrets of the Endless that I've kept to myself for 25 years. Family secrets. And I should warn you: one of the Endless dies on page five."
The first issue of this 6-issue, bimonthly miniseries features a double-page interior foldout.
36 pages, $4.99, in stores on Oct. 30. (Combo pack edition, $5.99).

Written by Caitlin Kittredge, art by Inaki Miranda, cover by Dave Johnson, variant cover by Gene Ha.
COFFIN HILL stars Eve Coffin, a rebellious, teenage lowlife from a high-society family with a curse that goes back to the Salem Witch trials.

After a stint as a Boston cop that ends in a bullet wound and unintended celebrity, Eve returns to Coffin Hill, only to discover the darkness that she unleashed ten years ago in the woods was never contained. It continues to seep through the town, cursing the soul of this sleepy Massachusetts hollow, spilling secrets and enacting its revenge.
Set against the haunted backdrop of New England, Coffin Hill explores what people will do for power and retribution.
