Somehow Sandman continues to get better and better as the series goes on. The first long arc is a beautiful exploration of family ties and dynamics; why we mostly love them, sometimes hate them, but can never let go of them. After that comes Ramadan, probably my favorite single issue short story that I read in Sandman up until now. Then follows another big arc compromised of several short stories tied together by an overarching narrative and mystery. The way it then ties back into the first arc by its finale is truly beautiful.
