Word is still out on whether the Netflix Sandman series will come back for another season. Apparently the ratings were okay, but the high cost of the series is a still a factor. I thought it was pretty well done, though some episodes were more to my liking than others. I did appreciate how closely they stuck to the comic stories. Dream of a Thousand Cats was one of my favorite Sandman tales, and I really enjoyed how that was adapted.
Maybe Little Nemo can call on the firepower of his grandfather's submarine.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: Little Nemo was the title character of a comic strip (also known as "Adventures in Slumberland") created and drawn by Winsor McCay. It was syndicated in newspapers between 1905 and 1927. And, to my knowledge, he was absolutely _no_ relation to Jules Verne's most famous anti-hero!
ReplyDeleteBut they might be related in the STFverse...
DeleteAbsolutely brilliant.
ReplyDeleteCarycomic- I have no idea if this is what Anonymous was thinking of, but in the Super-Team Family Universe, it seems as if any two people with the same last name are related. So, even though "Captain Nemo" was an alias in the original story, and "Nemo" seems to be Little Nemo's given name, rather than his family name, and they're both simply taken from the Latin word "Nemo", meaning "Nobody", it's entirely possible that in this universe they're related. Maybe a certain young clownfish is somehow part of the family, too.
ReplyDeleteHere I was expecting Flint Marko.
ReplyDelete@Bob and Al: yes, guys, that's precisely what I was hinting at. In volume three of the LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN trilogy, the character of Jenny Diver is depicted as being the temporarily estranged daughter of Capt. Nemo. So it stands to reason that, in Ross' multiverse, Little Nemo might be her son. Hence, the somewhat good captain's grandson!
ReplyDeleteDidn't somebody ask for sandman v Nightmare? Nemo is an unexpected bonus. Begs the question would each of these two treat Ego and Eternity the way they would treat a common Reed Richards or Barry Allen?
ReplyDeleteRoss, that little extra effort really changed the balance. Congrats on better tastes and concepts.
Where is this Nightmare from? When I saw the title, I thought of Casper the Friendly Ghost's horse (Harvey Comics).
ReplyDelete@Anon738: this is Lord Nightmare! Created, like the rest of Dr. Strange's Rogues' Gallery, by Steve Ditko way back in the early 1960's.
ReplyDelete@Cary: thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat version of Little Nemo is that? It's not the McKay original or the animated version from 1989.
