Justice Society Presents - The Sandman Slept Here 3

October 30, 2025

Get out of bed! THE SANDMAN SLEPT HERE is back. Paul Kien, Max Romero, and Ryan Daly discuss Sandman Mystery Theatre issues #9-12. Writer Matt Wagner is joined by artist R.G. Taylor for a brutal, punishing tale of the tragic and vile ways this world fails our children. Two fathers: one a poor boxer willing to sacrifice anything for his daughter; the other a rich fight promoter whose personal lust for violence leaves a legacy of hate and perpetual abuse. Can the Sandman and Dian Belmont end this cycle of violence before it swallows everyone, or will they be left only to pick up the pieces of a shattered innocence? Find out in “The Brute”. Plus, Paul, Max, and Ryan respond to last episode’s listener feedback and play another round of “The Dream Sequence”. Wake up and tune in!
