Overture appeals to Sandman fans and any who enjoy high art
Taking place both before the very first issue of Neil Gaiman's Sandman and just after the events of the very last issue, Overture finally tells the one tale Gaiman had said he had to cut from the series because it did not fit the narrative. Though a sort of prequel, explaining how the Sandman got in such a weak state he could have been captured in the first place, and generally explaining some things implied but never clarified in the series, it is best to read Overture as a Finale. Fantastic art (perhaps the very best of the series as a whole) drives through some heady concepts aimed squarely at fans of the series.
