Sandman: Overture #1 debuted in October. Issue #2 was originally scheduled for December before being pushed back until February.

"July will be issue three and then probably some more months then issue four, issue five and issue six," Gaiman told CNN.

Issue #3 is still officially listed to be released on April 30.

The long-awaited return of Sandman was originally announced on a bi-monthly schedule.
