During the late 1950s, DC Comics struck gold with the release of a number of horror titles, notably House of Mystery and House of Horror. Both of these have since gained cult classic status thanks to the legendary creative teams spinning chilling narratives around beautiful blood-curling macabre panels—very in sync with the classic Hammer and Grindhouse horror movies. In later years, with restrictions imposed by the Cca (Comics Code Authority), the element of horror gradually waned in mainstream comics. It made a sporadic resurgence during the Bronze Age of comics during the late 1970s, and using their Vertigo imprint titles, DC managed to keep the dread alive, especially through The Hellblazer and Sandman titles. Therefore, in the post-Rebirth era, DC Comics’ creative team’s perceivable interest in rejuvenating the horror themes in even mainstream series like Detective Comics and DCeased must have elated horror fans like myself.

The perpetually busy Damon Albarn has revealed he is working on another opera. As part of our latest cover story, the Blur and Gorillaz frontman tells Consequence he is putting German playwright Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s The Magic Flute Part Two to music for the first time.
“I got offered this amazing opportunity to set Goethe’s Magic Flute Part Two to music and song,” says Albarn, who previously created an opera based on Elizabethan scientist John Dee in 2011. “I’m kind of teaching myself Goethe, which is not as great a task as it would have been if I hadn’t done a lot of study about, you know, other Renaissance men like Dr. John Dee. I’ve got a lot of the bases because I had to go a long way back to even vaguely understand what that was about. So, I did a lot of that 10 years ago.

Jerry Lee Lewis, the world-famous rock and roll and country musician died at 87. On Friday, Lewis’ publicist, Zach Farnum, confirmed the Hall of Famer’s passing. Lee leaves behind a rocky legacy some musicians can only dream of achieving.
As a singer, songwriter, and pianist, Lewis dazzled crowds with infectious energy and theatrical piano playing technique. On stage, Lewis appeared to merge with his instrument, becoming one with the music he loved to share with the world. Watching Lewis on stage, you’d think he was performing an exorcism on stage, as each note caused his bones to gyrate with rhythm. Famously known for his hit song “Great Balls of Fire,” Lewis dabbled in rockabilly, gospel, country, blues, and jazz. There was scarcely a genre Lewis wouldn’t explore, and he shined while creating unique soundscapes in all categories.
Lewis came onto the music scene in 1956 with a hit called “Crazy Arms.

The game is afoot ... again! Millie Bobby Brown's Enola Holmes made her highly entertaining screen debut back in 2020, with Henry Cavill co-starring as her brother (some wavy-haired chap by the name of Sherlock).

It sure seems that people like The Sandman. The long-in-development adaptation of the influential DC Comics series finally came to Netflix on Aug. 5, and almost immediately gained a following. Fans took to Tom Sturridge’s complex portrayal of Dream aka Morpheus, the Lord of the Dreaming. Over the initial 10 episodes, fans tuned in to watch Morpheus gain his items back from the troubled John Dee (David Thewlis), capture the rogue nightmare the Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook), and contend with guest stars such as Gwendoline Christie’s Lucifer and Jenna Coleman’s Johanna Constantine. So popular was the show that Netflix even dropped a surprise bonus episode, which adapted fan-favorite stories “Dream of a Thousand Cats” and “Calliope.”

(Spoilers follow for "The Sandman" season 1, episode 4.)
The Netflix adaptation of "The Sandman" made some pretty interesting changes from the comics it was inspired by. Sure, a lot of plot details were kept intact, but overall, the series arguably achieved a decent balance between staying faithful to the original material and changing it to make a more cohesive story.
Among the biggest changes the series implemented involved John Dee (David Thewlis). Contrary to his comic depiction as a madman who only wanted others to suffer, the show's version was portrayed more naively, using the same methods of control and manipulation in order to try and make the world a better place. He's not an innocent character by any means, but it was interesting seeing him create a path of destruction out of misplaced good intentions.
Even though John is no longer the decaying Doctor Destiny of the comics, one aspect...

This post contains spoilers for The Sandman season one and beyond.
“Ideas in abundance.” Believe it or not, that’s a curse pronounced by Morpheus in “Calliope,” one of the best stories in The Sandman. “Ideas in abundance” sounds like a particularly strange curse for The Sandman, the seminal Neil Gaiman comic book series so rich in concepts and themes that the Netflix adaptation retains much of its depth, even as it necessarily cuts or reimagines some elements. Fans of the series will get to see more of those abundant ideas soon, as Netflix has announced a surprise 11th episode to The Sandman season 1, which adapts not only “Calliope” but also another fan-favorite tale, “A Dream of a Thousand Cats.” Both stories flesh out Dream’s world and the rules of the Dreaming but “Calliope” has deep implications for Morpheus’s larger career arc, paving the way for the end of his story.

Neil Gaiman’s landmark comic series The Sandman is many things: fantastical, idiosyncratic, dark as hell (sometimes literally!), and, honestly, often downright weird. Stuffed to bursting with gods, monsters, real-life historical figures, talking animals, and magic, it’s ultimately a story about the power of stories—why we love them and why we tell them in the first place.
Netflix’s The Sandman arrives this August with a 10-episode first season that fully embraces every dark, larger-than-life aspect of Gaiman’s story on a fantastical journey through worlds both familiar and alien. With lush visuals and beautifully intricate sets, there are moments that feel as though they were explicitly lifted from the pages of the original comic, as well as episodes that deftly blend the stories of multiple issues into something completely new.

After years of development, “The Sandman” has arrived. Neil Gaiman’s beloved graphic novel series now exists as a Netflix series, with Gaiman serving as co-creator and executive producer on the show. Many fans weren’t sure if this day would ever come given how difficult Gaiman’s books are to adapt, with “The Sandman” at one point planned as a movie to be directed by and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Tom Sturridge fills the titular role in this iteration of the story, which finds Dream imprisoned for a century and busting out to find his kingdom in ruins. He then sets out on a journey that puts him in contact with friends and foes alike, learning to better understand humanity in the process.

After decades of failed or blocked film adaptations of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman, Netflix has finally broken through with a new 10-episode series, released on Aug. 5.
And it was all worth the wait. The Sandman is spectacular.
The series, adapted for television by Allan Heinberg, David Goyer, and Gaiman himself, follows Dream of the Endless as he is captured by a human warlock and held in captivity for 100 years. He escapes captivity and returns to his realm, The Dreaming, to rebuild and reorient himself, and that process leads to personal growth and deeper relationships with his subjects and his siblings.

Spoiler Alert: This story discusses a few plot developments in “The Sandman,” currently streaming on Netflix.
When viewers watch the ending credits for Netflix’s new series “The Sandman” — the long-anticipated adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s acclaimed graphic novel series chronicling the phantasmagoric exploits of Morpheus, aka Dream, aka the Sandman (Tom Sturridge) — they’ll behold the curious sight of the logo for DC Entertainment. Indeed, “The Sandman” was published by Vertigo, an imprint of DC Comics, from 1989 to 1996, and in the first two volumes, which make up Season 1 of the Netflix series, there are several direct references to and characters from the wider world of DC Comics.
Much of those connections and references, however, have either been significantly altered or stripped away entirely from the live-action adaptation of “The Sandman.” For example, in the graphic novel, the villain John Dee (David Thewlis) is living within Arkham Asylum, Gotham City...

Like an enormous hourglass with two wobbly ends, “The Sandman” never finds its balance. The Netflix series, based on Neil Gaiman’s award-winning comic books and adapted by the author himself (alongside David S. Goyer and Allan Heinberg), is tasked with introducing the streaming service’s massive (though slightly shrinking) audience to its elaborate fantasy world, filled with mythical characters who rule and roam their given realms yet live within a shared, ever-expanding universe.
As if edifying the masses about the secret significance of our slumber wasn’t tricky enough, the first season can’t settle on a simple structure. Certain stories feel episodic, yet rarely fill an entire hour, while the ongoing plot — led by Dream, aka Morpheus, aka Master of Dreams, aka The Sandman — is scattered and shifting. Dream himself (played by Tom Sturridge) is little more than a tour guide. His ambitions change as frequently as his established beliefs,...

Of all the graphic novel adaptations to hit the small screen this year, “The Sandman,” based on the Neil Gaiman and Sam Keith series published by DC Comics’ now defunct Vertigo imprint, is one of Netflix’s most anticipated. Spanning seven years and 75 issues, the Sandman universe chronicles The Endless, a dysfunctional family of siblings that anthropomorphize Delirium, Desire, Despair, Destiny, Destruction, Death, and Dreams.
The first season of Netflix’s “The Sandman” primarily focuses on Morpheus, The King of Dreams (Tom Sturridge), his attendants, Lucienne (Vivienne Acheampong), the librarian who catalogs all of human existence, and Matthew (Patton Oswald), a talking raven. He serves as Dream’s eyes and ears in the waking world. However, when Morpheus unexpectedly disappears, leaving the Dreaming unattended for a century, his realm and humanity are left vulnerable.

“The Sandman” series, adapted from Neil Gaiman’s 1989 comic series — co-created by Sam Keith and Mike Dringenberg — will creep into consciousness in the first week of August. The ten-episode series follows the story of The Dream King Morpheus, a powerful being aiming to correct past mistakes he made, both cosmically and more minutely.
Names behind the television interpretation of the DC comic include Allan Heinberg as showrunner, executive producer and writer, as well as David S. Goyer and Neil Gaiman as executive producers and writers. Many minds have combined to produce a series that walks between dream and waking worlds.
Fans of the comic, Gaiman and/or the sprawling ensemble cast may be wondering how to watch the haunting story, and the answers are pretty simple.

In its original 75-issue run from 1989-1996, the DC Comics series The Sandman weaved a massive story about the return and downfall of Morpheus the Dream Lord. Written by Neil Gaiman, with pencils by legends such as Charles Vess and Sam Keith, The Sandman often functioned like an anthology series, focusing on the various characters who interacted with Dream and his family, whether they be a house cat who remembers a world of rodent-sized humans or William Shakespeare himself.
The upcoming Netflix series — developed by Gaiman, Batman Begins screenwriter David S. Goyer, and Young Avengers creator Allan Heinberg — seems to follow the same approach. As confirmed at the Sdcc Sandman panel, each of the 10 episodes in season one will tell a different story from the Sandman universe.

Friends, we’re happy to report the first full trailer for Netflix’s upcoming “The Sandman” has dropped as part of the show’s San Diego Comic-Con 2022 panel presentation in Hall H — and you can watch it here, right now. Or below:
Those at the panel got even more footage, in the form of three exclusive clips. The presentation opened with a short clip from later in the season, featuring a very, very accurate portrayal of the moment late in “Preludes and Nocturnes” when John Dee enters the diner.

Those at the panel got even more footage, in the form of three exclusive clips. The presentation opened with a short clip from later in the season, featuring a very, very accurate portrayal of the moment late in “Preludes and Nocturnes” when John Dee enters the diner.

This morning Netflix unveiled the trailer for its upcoming Geeked Week fan event, and while you can watch that thing in its entirety above — and we also covered that this morning — right now I want to focus on something specific: The first footage of Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer Morningstar.
The clip comes hear the end as we see images of Lucifer standing in front of a crowd of demons in hell, then directly — and very friendly — addressing Dream of the Endless (Tom Sturridge) asking, “are you well?”
You can skip directly to minute 1:35 if you want to watch it above right now, but for your convenience here are some screenshots:

British auctioneer Wessex Auction Rooms is anticipating bids as high as £12,000 for the upcoming sale of a vinyl record featuring a rare recording of David Bowie from 1965 — back when he fronted the band Davy Jones and the Lower Third — in an auction on Thursday. (per Variety)
Written by John Dee and Jack Tarr and helmed by producer Shel Talmy, a Sixties hitmaker, the 56-year-old recording “I Want You Love” is an early Bowie demo, eventually recorded and released by the Pretty Things on their 1965 sophomore album Get the Picture. Keeping with the pre-nft times,...

The Spine of Night Directors on Horror Fiction Inspirations and the Freedom of Independent Animation
Philip Gelatt and Morgan Galen King’s The Spine of Night is an impassioned tribute to adult animation, dark fantasy, and truly ambitious genre epics of the type all too rarely seen on the silver screen.
“One thing is certain about The Spine of Night: this is a labor of bone-shattered, triptacular love, “I said in my review. “The new rotoscope-animated feature—a clearly adoring homage to Ralph Bakshi, Heavy Metal, and 1980s dark fantasy—was created over a span of seven years by a minuscule team of animators digitally painting frame-by-frame with the oversight of directors Philip Gelatt and Morgan Galen King. It’s a deathly earnest film––like George Lucas-caliber earnest––guts-filled with capital-l lore, grim violence, artful nudity, and portentous monologues––not-always-convincingly delivered by a vocal cast that includes Lucy Lawless and Patton Oswalt––that never dare consciously wink at the intrinsic camp of its culty-retro throwback venue.

One woman's search for her missing son puts her on the path to a teenager who just might be descended from heavenly, cannibalistic giants in the new horror comic book series Daisy. Written and illustrated by Colin Lorimer, the first issue of Daisy will be released on December 8th from Dark Horse Comics, and we caught up with Lorimer in a new Q&a feature to discuss what readers can expect from his new five-issue series, how he approaches the creative process of making a comic book, and the heavenly and hellish influences that inspired him while creating Daisy.
What can you tell our readers about the origins of Daisy?
It all started with the voices in my head and the visions of heaven.
Well, not quite.

Dream, Death and Desire are all finally coming to Netflix.
Thirty-two years after DC Comics published the first issue of “The Sandman,” Neil Gaiman’s phantasmagoric dive into the world of dreams, Netflix unveiled the first look at its highly anticipated live-action adaptation on Saturday.
Stars Tom Sturridge — who plays Morpheus, a.k.a. Dream, the titular ruler of Dreaming — and Kirby Howell-Baptiste — who plays Death, Dream’s chic and easygoing sister — revealed the first look during Tudum, Netflix’s global virtual fan event.
Executive produced by Gaiman, David S. Goyer, and showrunner Allan Heinberg, “The Sandman” is updating Gaiman’s graphic novel by setting it in the present day, rather than in the late 1980s (as Audible’s ongoing audiobook adaptation of “The Sandman” is doing).

Netflix has yet to reveal a first look at its TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman” comic book series, but the streaming service gave fans the next best thing on Tuesday: a behind-the-scenes look at production in England, hosted by Gaiman himself.
The video opens with creator and executive producer Gaiman speaking over images of his DC Comics series juxtaposed with shots of the costumes, sets and props for the TV show.
“‘The Sandman’ is the story of the place that we go when we close our eyes at night, and it’s called The Dreaming,” Gaiman says in the video. “The Dreaming is ruled by Morpheus. For 32 years, anybody who read ‘Sandman,’ read the comics. That world is ending. I’m here at Shepperton Studios and I’m getting to see what happens when you bring dreams to life.”

Episode three gave us much less Matthew in the tower, and much more Diana spontaneously sprouting tree branches from her fingertips and playing interdimensional cat’s cradle with the gleaming strings of life. Witch stuff, not spy stuff! And all the better for it.
Episode three was also all the better for a shift in Matthew’s behaviour. There was just the one growl, and an entirely pardonable one seeing as it was directed at Kit Marlowe, a character whose self pity would have anybody baring their teeth.

One of the mysteries of the Marvel universe is exactly what went into the serum that transformed the frail Steve Rogers into the mighty Captain America. The serum’s secrets died with its creator Abraham Erskine, of course, but in at least one continuity, it was based on the blood of Spider-Man.
First off, yes, this would normally be impossible due to the Star-Spangled Avenger ascending decades before Peter Parker was born, but this particular tale involves time travel, thus throwing chronological limitations out the window.

Fans have high expectations for this year’s big Arrowverse crossover. Titled “Elseworlds,” the three-night event that will play out over Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl will see the debut of Ruby Rose as Batwoman, the return of Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman, a bunch of interesting guest stars and the odd surprise comeback or two. It looks like we won’t be missing the Legends of Tomorrow crew, after all.
One Arrowverse star is now upping the hype a bit more, though, as Arrow’s Echo Kellum – who plays Curtis Holt/Mr. Terrific – spoke to Extra and teased a little bit about what to expect. In particular, he talked about the strange phenomenon that is Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin swapping costumes for the crossover, as the Green Arrow and the Scarlet Speedster will apparently trade identities.

As well as the central trio of Green Arrow, the Flash and Supergirl, Ruby Rose is debuting as Batwoman, Tyler Hoechlin’s returning as Superman (as well as a dark-suited doppelganger), Elizabeth Tulloch’s joining the Arrowverse as Lois Lane, John Wesley Shipp’s back in red as the 1990s Flash and the list goes on.
Now, we’ve got yet another new cast member to look forward to. The 100‘s Bob Frazer will turn up in “Elseworlds” as Roger Hayden Aka Psycho-Pirate, the classic DC comics supervillain. The Arrowverse’s version of the character will be an inmate of Arkham Asylum and a student of Dr. John Deegan, played by Jeremy Davies,...

This week brought us the first poster for the upcoming Arrowverse crossover “Elseworlds,” and it’s fair to say it got fans talking. The poster saw Arrow and The Flash stars Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin playing each other’s characters, with the former in the Scarlet Speedster’s costume and the latter in the Green Arrow’s hood. It was such a striking image, in fact, that it might’ve successfully drawn our attention away from a major clue about the crossover’s story.
The tagline applied to the poster was “Destiny will be rewritten” and ComicBook.com has suggested that perhaps this word choice is very deliberate and actually tells us who the big bad of “Elseworlds” is: classic comics villain Doctor Destiny. For those who don’t know, traditionally, Destiny’s a powerful and dangerous foe who could reshape reality with the help of his Dreamstone. If...

Damon Albarn released all 18 tracks for "Dr. Dee" this month, the opera about a powerful Elizabethan court advisor and occultist, that Albarn's calling the most important thing he's ever done. Reviewers (unfairly) expecting the same kind of mass appeal as in a Gorillaz or Blur album are finding themselves disappointed, but so what? Albarn is one of those artists who can do whatever he wants now, including limiting himself to African and Elizabethan instruments, and writing a song about apple carts being set on fire.
In this video from The Guardian, Albarn and a baroque ensemble perform the apple cart song ("Apple Carts"), and a switched-up version of the prayerful, "O Spirit, Animate Us," in which Albarn sings the part of John Dee's daughter and Dee's is sung by a woman. As you'd expect for an opera commissioned by the cheering squad for the London Olympics, it all sounds awesomely British.

There are few notable artists that keep as busy as Damon Albarn. The mastermind behind trip poppers Gorillaz and English rockers Blur has revealed plans for a new album that will be recorded entirely in the Democratic Republic of Congo over just a one week period.
With Gorillaz on hiatus, Albarn has enlisted a slew of artists for the project, including some of the usual suspects: London DJ Darren Cunningham, old Gorillaz chum/production genius Dan the Automator, and Xl label boss Richard Russell, who produced the late Gil Scott-Heron’s critically acclaimed final album. The effort is being recorded to benefit Oxfam’s long-time work in the Congo. Other expected contributors include Marc Antoine, Jo Gunton, Jneiro Jarel, Kwes and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.
This will be Albarn’s second experience producing an album for Oxfam. He created a collaborative album with local artists of Mali in 2001, Mali Music.

Damon Albarn has said that his new opera project Doctor Dee gave him an opportunity to explore his English heritage. The Blur singer launches his self-penned Elizabethan opera in Manchester next month, based on the real life of astronomer and occultist John Dee. "This is all a personal thing, my relationship with these aspects of being English," Albarn explained to The Guardian. "But this story had so many catalysts, it didn't seem like it would be too mad an idea to start thinking in music terms. "I do harbour this feeling about my country, and it doesn't come out that often because I'm off doing other things. Which is great, because that way it gets stronger, (more)...
