The Sandman Universe (Comic Book)	comment	The Sandman Universe is a line of DC Comics published under DC Black Label. Launched to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Sandman (1989). As with Gerard Way and Young Animal, the series were "curated" by Neil Gaiman, who chose a specific writer for each book. They began with a Sandman Universe one-shot, which then led to four books:

The Sandman Universe (Comic Book) / int_106f1a77	comment	A Form You Are Comfortable With: Being a "discarnate sentience composed of several trillion self-adjusting instructions", Wan adheres to the Dreaming's rules when it comes to symbolism and constructs a body for him to properly communicate with his new "subjects", in this case being a humanoid silk moth.

Roderick Burgess and Ethel Cripps were the great-grandparents of Heather After, but she comes from a side of the family that the Burgess's disowned. She doesn't care, though, because Heather is determined to be the last of her line.

The Sandman Universe (Comic Book) / int_171edb09	comment	The Wild Hunt: The Wild Hunt is the very first hunt of predator and prey personified again and again as a method of catharsis for the inherent bloodlust that comes with life, a bloodlust that would only build and develop into wars and the potential end of the universe should they let it continue. The hunt usually involves the Hunted God being hunted by Thirst, Fear and Honor (personified as a trio of godly berserkers) across the universe. For a time, Odin Allfather led the hunt until they tracked it down and killed the Hunted God in Hell. Since all who suffer in Hell must stay in Hell, Lucifer would not allow them to keep their kill, but Odin managed to convince him otherwise on the condition that he joined their next hunt. As Lucifer does, he perverted this sacred event by hunting the Hunted God before the hunt would even begin, killing the god at infancy again and again until the god's divine essence was whittled down nearly to nothing.

The Sandman Universe (Comic Book) / int_1e2af48	comment	Trapped in Villainy: Nuala manages to dethrone Auboron and Titania using Titania's true name and takes the throne for herself after years of being taken for granted, hoping to take a more egalitarian approach and redistribute resources to less well-off subjects. Unfortunately, fairies are selfish and hedonistic by nature and the kingdom collapses. The Unseelie Court show up and agree to act as her enforcers to help curb the chaos, but they only acknowledge her as their queen if she agrees to their brand of cruelty out of fear of what they would do otherwise.

The Sandman Universe (Comic Book) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: Lucifer to a degree compared to his previous incarnations. While in the previous Lucifer runs Lucifer was very amoral and put his own interests above everyone and everything else, he was more or less indifferent to others unless they were of benefit to his ends or crossed him to earn his ire. In this series, Lucifer is a much darker, more sinister figure and seems to take some sadistic enjoyment in the suffering of others and those that earn his anger. While previously Lucifer was (for the most part) dispassionate and stoic in his demeanor, this time he casts an almost miasmal aura of dread and more closely portrays the common fictional image of the devil.

From then on he escapes to the Waking World and causes all sorts of mayhem across various realms. Even with all of the trouble he causes, Daniel recognizes that he is a unique being that is more than while he made him to be and allows him a chance to live a life with the man he loves.

It's implied by the end that his "exile" was all a part of Heaven's plan to ensure that the right people were where they needed to be, and that the whole thing was a Secret Test of Character to see if he was willing to do the right thing of his own free will, a test he passed with flying colors.

Lucien unmaking his entire crew to "streamline" everything certainly didn't help matters. Judge Gallows seems to agree with Mervyn that the blanks are a massive security risk, though he thinks that them merely being there is a violation of the "culture" of the Dreaming.

The Sandman Universe (Comic Book) / int_5ce7dbb9	type	Central Theme
The Sandman Universe (Comic Book) / int_5ce7dbb9	comment	Central Theme: The indomitable spirit of Free Will superseding one's nature. Ruin is described as "the dream of catastrophic failure," and from the moment he came into existence all he ever does is make everyone worse off. The act of creating him instills Daniel with the crushing feelings of being Morpheus' Inadequate Inheritor, and he unintentionally has Jophiel exiled to Earth after failing to instill the fear of Eternal Damnation into the mind of a true believer. From then on he escapes to the Waking World and causes all sorts of mayhem across various realms. Even with all of the trouble he causes, Daniel recognizes that he is a unique being that is more than while he made him to be and allows him a chance to live a life with the man he loves. Benedict was meant for a life in the church, Jophiel and Ruin assigned to help solidify that faith in the form of a nightmare of martyrdom and Eternal Damnation. Their attempts instead crush that fate (resulting in Jophiel being exiled and Ruin banished to the Box of Nightmares) and he leaves the clergy to pursue a normal life. He later admits that while the dream frightened him, all he could think of was Ruin's expression of sadness. He even vouches in Ruin's favor towards Dream, making a point that at the end of the day, it was his decision to take a different path and that Ruin shouldn't be punished for it. Jophiel is a loyal servant to the Heavenly Host who winds up being banished to the mortal plane after failing to solidify the faith of a true believer. This has made him cynical and homesick, trying to stay uninvolved with the messy politics of other realms like the Dreaming and Faerie as his probation dictates, only to wind up involved anyway due to his association with Ruin and Heather. It's implied by the end that his "exile" was all a part of Heaven's plan to ensure that the right people were where they needed to be, and that the whole thing was a Secret Test of Character to see if he was willing to do the right thing of his own free will, a test he passed with flying colors. Heather After is the transgendered descendant of Roderick Burgess and Ethel Cripps and apprentice to John Constantine. Even though she was from the "illegitimate" branch of the family, she is proven to be a talented sorceress with enough skill to summon angels and faeries, travel between realms and is able to intimidate Dream by reciting the incantation used to imprison Morpheus. While she tries avoiding getting herself into the same misadventures as other magicians, she decides to be involved anyway out of a moral obligation to do so.

The Sandman Universe (Comic Book) / int_d3b02ffb	comment	I Know Your True Name: Nuala dethroned Titania by saying her true name. When Heather After learns this, she doesn't worry and accepts the deal with Auberon. We learn why in issue #11, when the Unseelie attempt to control Heather by using the name on her birth certificate. Which is her deadname, so it doesn't work and results in the Unseelie who used it dying. Heather, in turn, says there's no such thing as a "true" name, only the one you make and names them all Lost.

When stabbing him to death fails (since dreamfolk don't die that way), he tries feeding himself to a Baku, only for his friends to stop him, deciding to give him a proper burial instead, returning him to the foundation of the Dreaming like he wanted.

Dora manages to win by sacrificing most of her pieces so that the slow and unassuming piece makes it to the finish line, knowing that Flauros (being a high-ranking demon) would be preoccupied with drawing out the game out of sadism.

Even when Morpheus was imprisoned, the Dreaming's decay was a gradual process, while here the Dreaming's collapse is a far more dramatic affair, implying that Daniel didn't just quit and something far more dire is at hand. He also remarks that in the spot where Dream's sigil fell, a white, mirror-like frame is slowly materializing in its place, meaning something is emerging to take Dream's throne.

Unfortunately, since this is Not the Intended Use of dreams, all it did was rob humanity of its collective will to live and erase many belief-based entities from existence. Hyperion was eventually shown the error of his ways by Daniel giving him a vision of the end result of his endeavors. Unfortunately by then he was in little position to stop it as everything was already up and running by itself.
