But when he speaks with IGN on the occasion of the show's release, he comes across as deeply introspective, his comments occasionally peppered with interjections from showrunner Allan Heinberg, with whom he has an easy back-and-forth rapport.

Launching on Netflix earlier today, reviews of the 10-episode series have been positive, with IGN’s Amelia Emberwing calling it a "dream of an adaptation." It wound up taking more than 30 years, but The Sandman is finally getting the screen version Gaiman previously thought impossible. I would so much rather that it never got made than a bad version would get made,” Neil Gaiman tells IGN. “I didn't care about it just getting made.
