READ SANDMAN (STOP SCHUMACHER)

Goddamnit! JOE "BATFUCKER "SCHUMACHER has his crossed-eyes on DC/Vertigo's SANDMAN to make into a feature film. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Please. Just stay away from it. That goes to EVERYONE. I do not want to see that comic butchered and pissed on. *sigh*

Written by Neil Gaiman, Sandman is Dream, the immortal anthropomorphic personification of dreams and story telling. He is known by an array of names, most often Morpheus. He is one of a family of seven siblings known as
the Endless, each of whom personifies some aspect of reality; Desire, Destiny, Destruction, Despair, Delirium and Death.

The story-lines primarily take place in the Dreaming, Morpheus's realm, and the waking world, with occasional visits to other domains, such as Hell, Faerie, Asgard, and the domains of the other Endless. Most of the story-lines take place in modern times (presumably the late 1980s and early 1990s), but many short stories are set in the past, taking advantage of the immortality of many of the characters to deal with historical individuals and events.

Gaiman has summarized the plot of the series as: "The king of dreams learns one must change or die and then makes his decision." The character's initially haughty, and often cruel, manner begins to soften after his years of imprisonment at the start of the series, but the challenge of undoing past sins and changing old ways is an enormous one for a being who has been set in his ways for billions of years.

Go pick up the trade paperbacks (10 total)- they're really good. Even TRex LOVED them! Book 1 starts of eh-ok, but then quickly goes fantastic after that. Sandman issue #19 "A Midsummer Night's Dream" won the World Fantasy Award in 1991 for Best Short Fiction. The following morning, the rules of the award were changed to ensure no other comics could get that award. As a result, it is the only comic that will ever win a World Fantasy Award, unless the rules are again changed.
