11th: Sandman – Preludes & Nocturnes

October 2, 2020

Sean has some loose ends to follow up on, particularly Age of Apocalypse, Mind MGMT, and Fear Agent. For the meat of this episode we discuss the first Sandman volume, Preludes & Nocturnes, and why it is so great.

Also:

  • Mike Tyson makes a lot of sense in the Age of Apocalypse
  • The Summers brothers, “naw, but actually”
  • Claremont’s X-Men makes us love the characters, and you can’t go wrong
  • Mind MGMT follows the rules and pulls it all together
  • Fear Agent belongs in the dictionary for “Stick The Landing”
  • Harbinger doesn’t live up to the memories, for one of us
  • Ranking the adult animated comedy shows!
  • We need a James Joyce moment comparing Ulysses to Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man
  • Maybe Watchmen IS a good starting point for comics…
