    Sandman takes place in the Marvel universe, but the Marvel superheroes have almost no part in it.

Sandman is DC. Martian Manhunter, Doctor Destiny, Scarecrow and Batman all appear: the former three - right in the first few issues, the latter - during Dream's funeral. Bast is also the DC's version of the goddess. So on. Sandman was set up to be within the DC continuity, but the idea was slowly abandoned later, while connections still remain.

    I've heard the new TV series is good, but I haven't seen it, so I can't say.

It's very good. If the 2003 film is a 2 or 3, the series is 7 or 8. Characters are all fleshed out and well done, production quality is very high and the story is quite interesting.
