10: The Wake

We reach the end of our re-read of the 75 issue run of The Sandman. We discuss the good and the bad in this final collection, then we reflect on the merits of this wonderful series as a whole. And we finish by discussing our plans to cover some of the spin-off titles.

Content Note: The Sandman series deals with and features some particularly dark and troubling subject matters and we have discussed them briefly and in depth in this podcast. Here is a list of some of the subjects that feature in Book 10, The Wake:

References to suicide & depiction of self harm.
Discussion and depiction of slavery & slave ships.
We revisit & discuss events in Dream Country & briefly reference the sexual assault in that book.
 

If you would like more information about the subjects that feature in the comics and in the podcast
(we can provide time codes if you wish to listen but skip over these sections) then please feel free to email us
