LET’S MAKE FUN OF ME FIRST, OKAY.<\/p>\n

oh god what<\/em><\/p>\n

\n
We will find out why Desire and Despair hate Dream so much. WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS PULLING SHENANIGANS ON HIM. Nope. 0\/1<\/strong><\/li>\n
<\/strong>We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see Fiddler\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Green again. Damn it, no. 0\/2<\/strong><\/li>\n
<\/strong>We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll know who Matthew was as a human. NOPE. 0\/3<\/strong><\/li>\n
Yes, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m cheating again. WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO PREDICT???? I’ll count this as another failed attempt. 0\/4<\/strong><\/li>\n
We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll meet another one of the Endless\/Eternal we haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seen yet. (I feel like we haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t met them all, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get this wrong, too. OH WELL.) HOLY SHIT I GOT ONE RIGHT OH MY GOD. 1\/5<\/strong><\/li>\n
This story will be entirely new and won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be a reference to a past plot line. What I mean is that this is going in a new direction. LOL. 1\/6<\/strong><\/li>\n
Everything is going to be creepy and weird. This isn’t even fair. I won’t count this just to spite myself. 1\/7<\/strong><\/li>\n
I CAN\u00e2\u20ac\u2122T GO WRONG WITH THAT ONE, CAN I. Yes. Yes, you can, Mark. 1\/8<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Well, that was a good show. Despite that I am fully aware that I’m walking quite blissfully into yet another<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0volume with no idea as to what it’s about, this should be real<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0fun. Actually, I think that this time, I have a slightly better grasp on what might<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0happen, especially since I am paying attention to unresolved story lines. LET’S DO THIS.<\/p>\n
Mark’s Predictions for volume 5 of The Sandman<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Okay, so it seems that each volume picks up some tiny grain of a story left behind and expands on it. Let’s start with a general prediction and say that this volume is based on a plot or character from a past issue.<\/li>\n
I think volume five will focus on either Nuala or Loki. I GET BONUS POINTS IF IT’S BOTH.<\/li>\n
We will see an intervention from Despair.<\/li>\n
There won’t be any interludes or story tangents in volume 5. (I’m guessing that because it feels shorter than most of the other volumes.<\/li>\n
Even if it doesn’t focus on Nuala or Loki, we’ll find out what Dream did with them after giving Hell to the Angels.<\/li>\n
Satan will have a cameo.<\/li>\n
“A Game of You” will be about identity.<\/li>\n
The cover I have features a disjointed face in the shape of house, and I think that we’ll learn something in this issue that might possibly explain why<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0this cover looks like this.<\/li>\n
Everything is going to be fucked up.<\/li>\n
And creepy.<\/li>\n
We’ll see Dream in the form of a woman and<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0an animal in this volume.<\/li>\n
I’m unprepared.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
