Sandman Overture #3 has the weakest story so far, but it doesn't mean it is less than top-notch. The art is as surreal and as colorful than the previous issues. There are nods and references to both DC and Marvel, and it made me feel (which in fact it is) that this is the same Multiverse, told from a different perspective. 
 While issue two explains Dream's mission, this one serves as a launch pad for a great event, though for the most part, the issue felt almost like a filler. 
 Yes, it may be the weakest issue so far, but I'd still give it five stars.
