58th: Sandman – Convergence
March 26, 2022
We continue our discussion of Sandman with the Convergence stories plus the Ramadan story from issue 50.
First up is “The Hunt” from issue 38, in which a grandfather tells his granddaughter a story from the old world about a young man that thinks he wants something, but may actually want something else.
Next is “Soft Places” from issue 39, in which Marco Polo gets lost in the desert and meets some interesting people. In the process of this, we learn about the power of stories to last through the ages.
The final Convergence story is “The Parliament of Rooks” from issue 40, in which a baby Daniel makes his way into the Dreaming to hear some stories from some of our favorite inhabitants of Dreams.
We also talk about “Ramadan” from issue 50, in which a king looks for a way to make his kingdom last forever. Will the King of Dreams be able to help him with this? And at what cost?
