The Sandman/WMG: Difference between revisions

** I dunno. Early Death as seen in ''Endless Nights'' is too out-and-out cruel to be Susan, and the Death of the story's present is too cheerful. (Although she's somewhat more Susan-like when she's angry.)

== Every other book that [[Neil Gaiman]] has written takes place in Sandman's continuity. ==

** More like America-based avatars of them. The Bast in The Sandman is in Egypt, the Odin is in Asgard, and the Loki is under the world missing his eyes.

** American Gods was released between The Wake and Endless Nights. So its events could be related to why Delirium went crazier just before Going Inside.

*** Um. No. It's pretty likely. In the epilogue, {{spoiler|Shadow meets with another Odin, the one in Iceland, and it's pretty strongly implied that the American Gods were only echoes. While the American Thor (presumably named "Mr. Thursday") died, the originally is likely still alive in one of the Scandinavian countries.}}

** The other mother is actually the Cuckoo from A Game of You

** The Other Mother became the Dark Queen in [[Mirror Mask]]

* [[Neverwhere]]: Croup and Vandemar are nightmares created by Dream, like [[Eye Scream|the Corinthian]]. And Hammersmith, {{spoiler|the one who had forged the false key}}, was Destruction of the Endless dabbling in his many hobbies.

* 1602 is an alternate of the [[Marvel]] universe. Avengers vs. JLA is still canon in Marvel, ergo the [[DCU]] and by extension Sandman is as well.

** But it's been established that JLA/Avengers is canon in DC, the next arc of JLA spun directly out of it when the antimatter universe villains discover that their world was destroyed in the crossover and immediately rebuilt afterwards

** Furthermore: when she, Dream, and Matthew were trying to get into a strip club to find Ishtar, and the bouncer was refusing them entrance because Matthew was a raven and Delirium was (apparently) a little girl, Dream basically used a Jedi Mind Trick and told the bouncer that they were all age-appropriate males wearing culture-appropriate clothing, and that they should be let in. Delirium then comments that she did that, "in the beginning." Which she did-- the beginning of the story arc. Sure, we, the readers, would indeed mark that as 'the beginning', but why would she? 'The beginning' (ie, the apparent impetus for the quest, as opposed to the start of a comic book story arc) for her could just as easily have been something that happened before the beginning of the story proper, or when she came up with the quest in Desire's Threshold, or when Dream agreed to accompany her. Her arbitrary concept of what the beginning would be coincides with the audicene's almost seamlessly.
