That looks fantastic! A sequel to the film.

So glad that Warwick Davis is back in the same role - he’s the perfect Willow. Need to go see if the original movie is available on D+ now.

ETA: It is.

That’s very cool. It’s the same people that worked with Obsidian on the voice tech for Outer Worlds.

As someone who used to own most of the original Gaiman Sandman comics, I will certainly be watching this. His delve into dream/lore/mythology both modern and ancient is a feat of extraordinary creativity.

I also have to admit, when I was younger I had a SERIOUS crush on the comic character of death. Luckily I did not style my preferences for real world companionship on her though. The whole premise of Death in Gaiman’s universe is so very deep and sad and hopeful, all at the same time.
