FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Oh, San Diego . You’ve become so enamored with other aspects of the burgeoning geek culture (read: blockbuster movies, TV shows, videogames, costume play) that some of the original comic nerds (such as your humble scribe) fear you’ve lost sight of your roots.

Well, fear not for a moment, fellow fans, for one of the wildest chunks of news out of Thursday’s Comic-Con was actually comics-related. The Sandman, which is (with one serious rival, Alan Moore‘s Watchmen,) the most acclaimed and intelligent series in comics history, is to return on its 25th birthday in 2013. Its creator will finally complete the centuries-long story arc to his satisfaction.
, known to all and sundry on Twitter as @neilhimself, may be better known to non-comics readers as the author of stunning novels such as American Gods and children’s horror tales such as Coraline. Still, the nine-volume Sandman series is what catapulted Gaiman to literary stardom in the first place. It tells the story of Dream of the Endless, also known as Morpheus, also known as the king of a world we literally inhabit when asleep.

Although the series appeared to tell a complete story, Gaiman reveals in the video (above) for Comic-Con attendees, one omission nagged at him. How did Morpheus come to be captured by the English magician who held him at the start of the very first book? The answer was hinted at, but never revealed. “It was one of the few stories that … actually felt like I had failed because I had not told it,” Gaiman explains.
The upshot? Sandman Zero was the rumored name of this not-quite-prequel; Gaiman says it hasn’t been officially named yet. But it will feature the talent of the highly-respected JH Williams III, the artist behind Moore’s stunning Promethea series, and be published by DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint.
