Advantages: A wonderful graphic novel , beautifully illustrated and written. Disadvantages: Part of an eleven volume series, so it costs alot to read the whole story!
Easily one of the best of the series, it encapsulates everything that the sandman series is about. An absolutely magical book, a must read for any fantasy fan. beautifully drawn, inked and written. This particular volume is a treat to read as you are taken in and out of the dreams of the characters, which adds a deeper level of substance to the characters than that already woven by gaimens fantastic storytelling abilities.
My particular favorite story in the volume is gaimens imaginative and clever take on ' a midsummer nights dream, in which we learn about the relationship between Dream and William Shakespeare. It is a brilliant piece of modern literature in the sense that Gaiman has created his own imaginative wonderland,as well as re kindling the mystery and magic of classic storytellers of old.
The other story which was ...
Advantages: First half is a surprisingly good ending. Disadvantages: Second half of unrelated stories is a disappointing waste of time.
It's practically unheard of for a popular, long-running comic series on a major label to be permitted to end when its original creators decide to call it a day, so it's with only a few extraneous issues that NeilGaiman's saga of The Sandman came to a satisfactory close eight years after its first issue hit the shelves. This final paperback collects the three issues comprising 'The Wake' epilogue and three supplementary, independent stories tying up some of the more obscure loose ends before the series is finally put to rest... you know, aside from the other couple of Sandman books Gaiman has written since, and the numerous spin-off comics continuing the stories of the characters in varying degrees of readability.
The previous book 'The Kindly Ones' was a long and winding road to the Sandman's inevitable death, and 'The Wake' deals ...
Advantages: Neil Gaiman's epic horror-fantasy tackles social issues. Disadvantages: Fns may find the shift of focus disappointing.
After the slow and arduous multi-dimensional grandeur of 'Season of Mists,' DC's adult comic series The Sandman returns to Earth once again, and successfully rekindles its former glory. The problems I had with the preceding story were partly down to my personal tastes regarding the series, now approaching its half-way point, but even leaving aside the shift in focus from the complex fantasy realms of the Dreaming, the afterlife and far too many other domains to list back to more localised terrestrial concerns (at least for the most part), it's clear that writer NeilGaiman has got back in touch with his juju after what was a most trying eight-issue task of exposition.
It wasn't all a waste of time though; having now firmly outlined far more than readers could ever need to know about the series' complicated, multi-faceted universe ...
