The Sandman: Gaiman on Johanna Constantine, "American Gods" Difference

With only hours to go until Netflix's The Sandman adaptation from creator, EP & co-writer Neil Gaiman (Good Omens); EP, co-writer & showrunner Allan Heinberg (Wonder Woman); and EP & co-writer David S. Goyer (Foundation) hits our screens, we have a few updates that we wanted to pass your way.
