Well, this is of course, brilliant. But why? It occurs to me that the world Gaiman set up for himself was in fact the perfect tool for him: He could incorporate any mythology, religion, genre, location or time and still make it all self-consistent, hence allowing his imagination to go wherever it wa...

Pod wpływem impulsu postanowiłem odświeżyć sobie jakąś pozycję, którą czytałem bardzo dawno temu. Myślałem o Wiedźminie ale wtedy mój wzrok padł na najniższą półkę, gdzie trzymam komiksy. A tam stoi sobie kompletny Sandman. Zacząłem go zbierać na studiach i zajęło mi to około dwóch lat. W tedy na s...

Volume II of this series is as gorgeous as Volume I. There are two main stories, only one of which I'd read before. The first, about Lucifer abdicating as ruler of Hell, did not appeal to me as much as the second, about The Cuckoo, with its cast of characters from under-represented groups and very m...

I can't remember when I've last been more disappointed in a long awaited book. From the moment I first hard of this series, I knew I had to read it.

The Grandville thriller series is a great idea, and the first installment here is brilliant. The author could have been a wordsmith alone if he hadn't turned out to be such a great cartoonist. The author is so deft at weaving together his skein of plots, and the background detail is littered with de...

My least favorite of the group, but I could have just been in a bad mood. Or maybe this one just wasn't for me. I enjoyed the other installments in the series that were short stories, this one just didn't take. However, it sets the stage for vol. 7, which might just be my favorite thus far. So, ya k...

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.
