 Nightmare Country
Return to the world of Neil Gaiman’s seminal epic The Sandman, in a new series starring fan-favorite character the Corinthian, and written by horror comics superstar James Tynion IV!
Sometimes, nightmares walk the Earth. Every night when you sleep, the Lord of Dreams chooses the path you’ll follow…into a sylvan Elysium, or down the hallways of your darkest fears. And sometimes, if it is Dream’s will, those nightmares escape those halls, and go out into the world. But it is not a choice he makes lightly.
Today the Corinthian walks the Earth again. The most feared of all Dream’s nightmares, his ravenous mouths have made him a legend among serial killers. Letting the Corinthian out among mortals is the most dangerous thing Dream could possibly do. But he has no choice-because there is another nightmare walking the Earth, one that must be hunted…and this monster is one that Dream, lord of all nightmares, did not make.
Acclaimed writer James Tynion IV has waited his whole career to pay tribute to the mythos of The Sandman, the work that made him the writer he is today—and that time has come!
Designed to welcome new readers into one of the greatest worlds in DC’s library, The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country is a terrifying travelogue through a nation recognizable and obscene, which will show you things seen in no Sandman series ever before—with spectacular art by Lisandro Estherren (Redneck, Strange Skies Over East Berlin) and “nightmare” sequences by comics art all-stars!
This volume collects The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country #1-6.
Nightmare Country: The Glass House
The celebrated world of The Sandman expands with the direct sequel to The Sandman Nightmare Country , as the Corinthian takes a bite out of Silicon Valley!
Enter the Sandman Universe once again for the latest chapter of The Sandman saga!
The Corinthian has been turned loose on our realm once more, and this time he sets his sights on the very root of rapacious American capitalism—Silicon Valley.
His relentless pursuit of the Smiling Man will carve a bloody path from the C-suite of Prophet Capital to the bowels of a demonic nightclub, and no one will be safe from his reach. Not Ken, living large in the Bay Area since parting ways with Barbie all those years ago. Not Max, a nervous hedge fund manager on the rise who’s never quite fit anywhere. Not anyone.
Multiple Eisner Award-winning writer James Tynion IV reunites with superstar horror artist Lisandro Estherren to bring you the nightmare-fueled follow-up you’ve been craving, a tale that will plumb the bottomless depths of our yearning for more at the heart of the American dream.
This volume collects The Sandman Nightmare Country – The Glass House #1-6.
You know its strange when you have fond feelings for a guy with teeth instead of eyes, but he's a very sympathetic character in Nightmare Country, trying to investigate another creature, not made of Dream, that also has mouths in place of eyes. He goes out of this way to save a girl, but alright, he had selfish motives since he wants to use her to find source of his grotesque counterpart. But he also spends part of the book wandering Dream, trying to understand himself, making notes of memories and thoughts he gets from his previous incarnation. He's just this kind of lost soul, nowhere as sweet as Ruin in the fourth book of The Dreaming, but he came off as a pretty decent guy.
There's also a cat, I love cats, even if the cat herself doesn't. There's also a dude that gets sliced into a pile of meat chunks. Well, it is horror right? Maybe I've just been reading too many horror graphic novels when a nightmare comes off as someone you'd almost want as a friend.
The artwork it interesting, often watercoloured, sometimes a little scribbled with pencil.
Aaannnd....the story doesn't end here. There's another book that hasn't been published yet. Argh!
