I've just finished the first two issues of Sandman as done on audio, and am partly through Dream a Little Dream Of Me, issue three. (As I best understand it, this first season of the audible version is presenting issues 1-28. Everything collected in Preludes and Nocturns, The Doll's House, and Dream Country. I'm a little worried as to how they're gonna fit so many issues into a ten hour audiobook, especially since the first issue was nearly an hour; but I'm informed the issues did get shorter after that one, which may account for the amount they could translate.)

Brief synopsis, for anyone as unfamiliar as I was before I dove headfirst into the google rabbit hole yesterday:
When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus—the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination—is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three "tools" that will restore his power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has deteriorated in his absence. As the multi-threaded story unspools, The Sandman descends into Hell to confront Lucifer (Michael Sheen), chases rogue nightmares who have escaped his realm, and crosses paths with an array of characters from DC comic books, ancient myths, and real-world history, including: Inmates of Gotham City's Arkham Asylum, Doctor Destiny, the muse Calliope, the three Fates, William Shakespeare (Arthur Darvill), and many more.
This got long! so if that's as intriguing for you as I always found it, follow )
