Call it a dream come true. Acclaimed fantasy author Neil Gaiman American Gods, Coraline is returning to comics and the character that made him a superstar scribe: Dream, a.k.a. Morpheus, member of the Endless, a deeply dysfunctional family of eternal though not immutable entities with names that begin with the letter \u2018D\u2019 who preside over various aspects of human existence except Destruction did abandon his mantle and dominion and ran away\u2026 but never mind. Gaiman \u2014 who wrote 75 issues of The\u00a0Sandman from 1988 to 1996 all collected in \u201cgraphic novel\u201d form, producing one of the most celebrated and most erudite comic book series ever \u2014 will team with artist J. H. Williams III Promethea, Batwoman for a mini-series that\u2019s set prior to the events in\u00a0Sandman #1. In that story, an English occult leader inadvertently summoned Dream using a black magic ritual involving rat claws and angel wings on June 10, 1916 and held him captive for 72 years. The foolish mortal was actually trying to trap Morpheus\u2019 sister, Death, but something went awry. Magic: So darn unpredictable!<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I finished writing The Sandman, there was one tale still untold: The story of what had happened to Morpheus to allow him to be so easily captured in The Sandman #1, and why he was returned from far away, exhausted beyond imagining, and dressed for war,\u201d Gaiman said in a statement provided by DC Entertainment. \u201cIt was a story that we discussed telling for Sandman\u2018s 20th anniversary\u2026 but the time got away from us. And now, with Sandman\u2018s 25th anniversary year coming up, I\u2019m delighted, and nervous, that that story is finally going to be told.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mini-series will hit in 2013. The publisher made the announcement at Comic-Con during Vertigo\u2019s afternoon panel.<\/p>\n
