Spinning out of the momentum of his recent appearance in Knight Terror, the Wesley Dodds: The Sandman comic series has become an unexpected star of DC Comics’ Golden Age line of comics. The series has already made a great effort to give the noir-inspired superhero a variety of new characteristics to make him stand out from the rest of the original Justice Society.The most interesting of these has factored directly into his core gimmick, the sleep gun, and how such a device paints his entire modus operandi as an ethical superhero who wants to win fights without fighting. The first two issues have already shown the pros and cons of Sandman’s ethical mission. However, the more that’s expanded, the more this Golden Age hero’s journey mimics the story of a certain Avenger.While both Wesley Dodds: The Sandman #1 and #2 (by Robert Venditti, Riley Rossmo, Ivan Plascenia, and Tom Napolitano) have shown that Sandman is still willing to get his hands dirty if necessary, Sandman’s true goal throughout the early issues is to revolutionize crime fighting so that violent confrontations are no longer necessary. The narrative sees Sandman desperately trying to revolutionize the sleeping gas he uses so that he can not only pacify criminals without doing them harm but also have this gas used for the US Army as an alternative to fighting wars through lethal means.
