The Sandman Universe

The Corinthian and Dream have a deal... the toothy-eyed nightmare can continue walking the waking world in search of answers about the Smiling Man, but he's bound to the will of Madison Flynn who refuses to let him hurt or kill anyone she finds undeserving. But as the Corinthian finds himself drawn into the labyrinthian demon club the King of Pain, he's about to get a taste of just how tight his leash really is... MATURE READERS

FROM MULTIPLE EISNER-AWARD WINNER JAMES TYNION IV! The immortal witch Thessaly has interjected herself into the brewing storm between heaven and hell, the waking world and dreams--and there are powerful forces who demand she pay in blood for her meddling. Thessaly, however, only has eyes for the mystery of Flynn and the Smiling Man. As for the Corinthian? Despite his promises to Dream, he's less and less sure whose side he's on with every passing moment... MATURE READERS

JOHN CONSTANTINE...FAITH HEALER? Disguised as a Catholic priest in a small town near the Texas-Mexico border, John searches for the connection between how a dust-ridden county turned out a massive harvest and Dream's missing sand. But this good-natured, all-American town has an ugly secret...one that brings John, Nat, and Noah face-to-face with monsters of a very human kind. MATURE READERS

The immortal witch Thessaly is no stranger to dead ends. But she's won the hearts of gods and beings more powerful than gods, and persistence has always been her strong suit. Following her scheming machinations in Nightmare Country and Dead Boy Detectives, Thessaly is more determined than ever to suss out the seemingly impenetrable mystery surrounding the death of Madison Flynn. To do that, she's going to have to get close to the source material--close enough to magic herself into the job of screenwriter on Madison Flynn's biopic. But she's going to need a little help to keep the gig...perhaps from one of those Muses the King of Dreams told her about long ago... The Sandman Universe Special: Thessaly reunites Nightmare Country visionary James Tynion IV with star Faithless artist Maria Llovet to take you on a journey through the festering darkness pulsating beneath Hollywood's glitz and glamour!

Demon club the King of Pain offers the Corinthian a chance to indulge his most murderous tendencies, and the walking nightmare finds himself ravenous after years of guarded restraint. And though the first taste is free, what starts as a snack quickly escalates to a feast, and there will no doubt be hell to pay. Are the club's offerings enough to keep the Corinthian satisfied? Or will blood spill across the streets of San Francisco just as the immortal witch Thessaly enters the fray, seeking to satiate a hunger of her own? MATURE READERS

John Constantine, his son Noah, and bodyguard Nat have been blazing a trail across the face of America in their double-decker Routemaster bus, finding themselves on the wrong end of an eruption of supernatural and mystical threats--all thanks to a scattering of Dream's sand.

MATURE READERS

John is lost...not just ask for directions lost, either. He's lucky if he can even identify what plane of existence he's on. With the enigmatic hitchhiker as his guide, John will have to find his way back to Nat and Noah. But when he does, he's finally going to have to explain that he's a walking corpse... MATURE READERS
