Talk:The Sandman (comic book)

Need more bulk to Critical reception
The article looks really great and well-referenced, and I believe its almost eligible for GA nomination someday. But the critical reception needs more content. I think it's too short, and we should write the comic book's overall commercial sales and other critic's opinion on it rather than just depend on the awards.Bulls123 (talk) 17:39, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Which graphic novel?
The intro section says "In 2013, Warner Bros. Studios announced that David S. Goyer will be producing an adaptation of the graphic novel, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt.[5]". Which graphic novel does it refer to? There are at least ten in the series. The cite doesn't say anything about the matter (or about it being from a graphic novel at all). Either way, it probably shouldn't use the term "the graphic novel" which implies there is only one. Thanks. :) --Irrevenant [ talk ] 07:23, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

The Sandman (Vertigo) → The Sandman (comic book) – Proper disambiguation, and this is the only comic book with the Sandman title we have an article on. Also, I think it's a slightly misleading title as most of the series was published under the main DC banner, and starting this year all reprints are coming under DC Black Label.

 * Support move based on nomination. -- Zim Zala Bim talk 21:12, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment, is this title enough to disambiguate from the several other Sandman comic book characters?? I could see it being misconstrued.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:50, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , yes because Sandman (DC Comics) and Sandman (Marvel Comics) are clearly about characters, while this is the only article that is about the comic itself. Also, the current title of this article could definitely be confused with the Sandman (DC Comics) one because Vertigo was just an imprint of DC, not a separate entity.
