Each standard graphic novel tends to collect between 6-8 issues of the series. Slightly complicating matters is the fact that DC has begun reprinting the series in other forms. Though as the Season 1 finale hints, the show may not necessarily be heading in the same direction where Lucifer is concerned. Should the Netflix series be renewed for Season 2, we assume this will be one of the main storylines it adapts. One of those, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” earned Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess a World Fantasy Award and is widely regarded as one of the best single issues of the series.įrom there, the overarching plot kicks back into gear in The Sandman Vol 4: Season of Mists, which deals heavily with the fallout of Dream and Lucifer’s standoff in the opening story arc. It features a number of standalone stories wherein Morpheus himself is only a supporting character. 3 isn’t a bad starting point for the series in general.

But the two versions are ultimately similar enough that there’s no reason fans of the show couldn’t jump straight into The Sandman Vol. For example, Boyd Holbrook’s character The Corinthian has a slightly expanded role, and many characters from the wider DC Universe who cameo in the comic are absent from the show. There are a handful of changes sprinkled through the show. Season 1 of the show adapts the material seen in the first two graphic novels - Preludes & Nocturnes and The Doll's House. Netflix’s The Sandman isn’t quite a 1:1 adaptation of the comic ( as is the case with the Audible series), but does stick pretty close to the source material.
