50th: Distant Mirrors, Sandman vol. 5
December 4, 2021
We return to discussing Sandman with the Distant Mirrors and Song of Orpheus stories!
The Distant Mirrors stories fall between Season of Mists and A Game Of You, and are all historical fiction in one way or another. The Song of Orpheus is a stand alone story from the Sandman Special Edition that was also published around this time.
Previous stand-alone stories have been very enjoyable. How did we like these, that incorporate more plot-centric story beats? What are our takeaways from each of the stories? Is there a common theme to these?
Our Sandman episodes are some of our favorites, so tune in while we get back to reading one of the greatest comic series of all time.
If you are playing along at home, these stories are collected in the first half of the Fables & Reflections trade paperback collection.
