At first I wasn't sure if this was going to be for me. It starts off slow, weird, lots of words but very little meaning connecting for me. Then...after issue 2, we get into the goods.

So what's Sandman? Well besides being one of the most talked about and beloved series it's about the king of dreams. You know death right? You know Lucifer right? Well let me tell you, there's also DREAM and he's pretty much just as scary.

So after years of being imprisoned Dream escapes his shackles. Once doing so he goes on a journey to retrieve his possessions to make him strong once more. At first it seems like each story would be it's own but by issue 4 it starts to connect and really speed up.

Good: The art is actually pretty great. I really think it stands the test of time and has it's own flare. I also really enjoyed the villain in here. Sure he was insane. He did horrible things. But the way he did them made him very...strange...yet very interesting. I also loved Death and way different than what I expected. Plus she's hot!

Bad: A slow start hurts it some. Once it connects it makes the start better but I won't lie. It's a lot to take in at first and Neil Gaiman can get a little wordy. That's always been a issue though!

Overall I freaking loved the ending. The last 3 issues were so good I couldn't stop reading. I'm really going to have to buckle down and save some cash to get the remaining 9 volumes. If it only gets better I'm in for a treat.
