Series: Sandman #5 I wasn’t fussy over the artwork, but the story was really cool (the cuckoo and The Land and everything). I also really liked Wanda (eventually).
*Book source ~ Library From Goodreads: Take an apartment house, mix in a drag queen, a lesbian couple, some talking animals, a talking severed head, a confused heroine, and the deadly Cuckoo. Stir vigorously with a hurricane and Morpheus himself, and you get this fifth installment of the Sandman s...
It took me a while to remember the connecting characters with Vol. 2, but the connections of various story lines really increases the enjoyment for me.
Genre: Supernatural / Horror / Fantasy Year Published: 1992 Year Read: 2012 Series: The Sandman #5 Publisher: Vertigo Comics Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” series just keeps getting better and better every time I read them and the fifth volume “A Game of You” definitely does not disappoint me! This t...
I tried to rate A Game of You lower than five stars, then I came to my senses. Gaiman's depiction of the relationship between Barbie and Wanda/Alvin won me in the end.

The story is simple - a quest story, tried and true - but it's also a reflection on identity and dreaming and how we handle those two things as we get older. And it is sadder, in its bones, than any of the stories thus far. That doesn't make i...
Better than previous numbers. More entertaining throughout and ultimately more profound. Shifting realities, not necessarily between parallel universes, more like intertwining realities, make for a bewildering plot at times, but it all makes sense in a way in the end. Issues of gender and strong ...
This has always been a great volume of Sandman, but I was absolutely blown away by the complete re-coloring and re-inking of chapter 3, "Bad Moon Rising." Finally Doran's art gets the treatment it deserves.
Favorite one so far in the series, they just keep getting better and better! Neil Gaiman had obviously conceived this grand story from the get-go and knew how to add who, what, and when all in the right "where", and it's not Neverwhere. ;]
