5.0
Volume Three of The Absolute Sandman is the series returning to top form.
The first volume felt wondrous, epic, and heartfelt. The second for me wasn’t as consistent as the first, and lacked the punch I expected. However, all is back as it should be with the third.
It starts with a fantastic arc that brings together Death and Delirium in a poignant and satisfying way. Following on from this, we get a few single-issue shorts, including the standout Ramadan. The issue has a visual style miles apart from anything else in the series, but fits in perfectly in tone and style, making it exactly the right change of pace needed at that point.
We then move on to another arc, made up of smaller stories that build to a whole, and this too is satisfying and consistently entertaining.
Overall, this is a volume full of purely original and thoughtful stories.
5 stars
