Wow. That's pretty much all I thought after the final panel of Crimson Mist. This is the darkest Batman of all, the one that honors his name and becomes a predator of criminals and innocents alike. We start Crimson Mist with the agony of Batman, condemned to exist in Limbo and to thirst for blood fo...
This comic creeped me out in a good way. The art is powerful (much more so than in Batman/Dracula: Red Rain) and it enhances the plot. In Bloodstorm, we meet a Batman that has been turned into a vampire and that is determined to finish those who share his curse, while fighting the thirst of blood th...
I really liked this one! The Alternate Universe excuse that gave birth to Red Rain allowed Doug Moench to take Batman to a whole new level. What I liked the most was the use of vampire lore: So many recent stories completely disregard the classic tales of the undead, and here we encounter silver, co...
This book is a beautiful bound tome with gorgeous art and some wonderful stories. Content-wise, I could tell that Neil Gaiman was experimenting when he began writing this now-famous series. The quality of the story is a bit uneven. Some of the novels were amongst some of the best graphic novels I ha...
I read volumes 2-4 in a row, hardly stopping for breath in between. It makes it harder to review each individually, with my memories of them running together. But that hardly matters. I've loved nearly every moment I've ever read Sandman, from the first time fifteen years ago (or so) right down to t...
It's been more than ten years since I first read Sandman, and I've read it through probably close to a dozen times since. This is my first crack at The Absolute Sandman. Obviously, I love Sandman, or I wouldn't be reading it yet again. And yet, I never read exactly the same Sandman twice. I see more...
This is an absolute must-have-and-read for anyone who is keen on graphic novels. The paper is really classic, if you like comic books this is an ultimate buyer and keeper. Nice stuff and high four stars.
Like many of his fans, one of my favorite things about Gaiman is when he brings old mythologies to life. When Lucifer closes hell and gives the key to Dream, all kinds of representatives of various mythologies come to call, hoping to get the key for themselves.Library copy
