Neil Gaiman appeared at the Vertigo Comics panel at San Diego Comic-Con via a video with some pretty big news. Nearly 25 years after Sandman #1 was released, Gaiman will be returning to the series and will be releasing a prequel mini series in 2013 which is the 25 year anniversary. Gaiman will be working alongside J.H. Williams who is currently tied to DC's Batwoman. There is no title for this series yet but it will, "follow Morpheus of the Dreaming's adventures immediately prior to his capture by an evil magician in Sandman #1." Gaiman notes that he always felt sorry that this story was never told but is now excited to see it be told. Are you excited to see the return of the Sandman series?
