How good was Sandman, really? I asked myself. After all I was in my late teens and it was a long time ago. Also probably the first comic for adults I ever read. Should I take a risk on those gigantic anthologies, The Absolute Sandman or a lesser commitment on the comparatively tiddly first paperbac...
My Never Ending List

I had a hard time with this graphic novel. Since this is the second book in the series, this novel takes right off where the first novel ended and I had no problem following the beginning of this story as Lucien is counting the arcana in the dreaming world for the Dream Lord. Lucien finds there are ...

So this is the great Sandman I have been hearing about for years. I liked it. But can't say I was blown away by it though. Probably because for the most part I found the colors muddled and it was hard to read sometimes what characters were saying. And when I had to turn the graphic novel sideways to...

My favourite story was the one with the cereal (serial) killer convention. The collection is complex and quite hard to unders...

This is the second of The Sandman series. I like that the series has a defined end and I may continue to read it for that reason. The included cover art is good, although dated. The art of the comic itself is very much in the mainstream American tradition, which is an art style that I find a litt...

4.5 starsEven darker and more twisted than the first, if that's possible, with interconnecting storylines that really pull you into the Sandman's world. Rose is an interesting character, and I hope that she makes more appearances in the next volumes. The "Convention of Collectors" was disgusting, pe...

I love it when a graphic novel really makes me pay attention. Gaiman is such a masterful storyteller.
