It’s nice to be back in the Sandman universe, whenever I get the chance. This foray is more successful than not, but also pretty disjointed and plodding. A young artist is being hunted by weird killers who look like they’re out of an S&M shop (which feels a bit needlessly edgy and purposeless), and she stands out as a target because she paints the Corinthian and doesn’t dream. Simultaneously, said Corinthian is interested in her, and their paths collide.

This was very breadcrumb storytelling. In all these issues not much actually happened and the last issue was a complete aside after a new arc was initiated. The artwork also varies greatly, with many different people sliding into issues. It’s interesting but I’m not hot and heavy to pick up the next set, whenever that should release.
