DESCRIPTION:
"They just keep getting better." according to Modern Fossil. In these days of everything having to be genre specific, style specific, demographic specific - specify your target audience, specify one linear storyline and ram your writing right down people's throats for 'em, Neil Gaiman is a so refreshing. He's having a little bit of everything with The Sandman series. You're going to see everything form satire to a brilliantly weaved mythology, to social cometary, to fairy tale telling, to suspense, to horror, to romance, to literary critique, form, and analysis - and all it delivered bound and wrapped, with a punch in the nose. And what I like best personally is t. I must say that this volume is a great return to form for the series as a whole As someone who came into the Sandman party a few decades late, I must say that this volume is a great return to form for the series as a whole. The previous volume, Dream Country, felt more like set-up for future story lines (one of which pays off in this volume), while this one feels more like the first volume in the sense that it expands upon the lore and provides fantastic character development. I honestly did not think that I would find a sequence of events that would rival the abstract battle between Morpheus and the demon in the first volume, but nearly everything in this volume rivals that scene, . As far as a complete story this was undoubtedly the best one yet. My favorite volume yet in Gaiman's 'The Sandman'. Thus far The Sandman has been a series of stories, rather than one cohesive one (although certain events from prior volumes are referenced in this one). I have heard that from this point onward the story does get a bit more cohesive, maybe it does, we will see, but as far as a complete story this was undoubtedly the best one yet. Along with Morpheus were are treated with another appearance by Lucifer in this volume. Not just Lucifer but Odin, Loki, Thor, Anubis, Bast, even Chaos itself graces these pages. Sound interesting? It is. Read it.
