Dream is such a fuckboi lol

Not my fav arc tbh but IMPORTANT TO THE NARRATIVE ARC I GET IT

Fuck yes I love Princess Barbie so muchhh

And like I get that this hasn't necessarily aged the best in terms of representation and it sucks to

Spoiler

kill the trans character but for the TIME I think it was progressive and also like in a horror-adjacent comic like this like, bad things happen Y'KNOW but they have a real narrative weight and dignity to them. And Wanda is imo such a lovable character. anyway. I get it if this book isn't for you but I love it.

not my FAV volume of Sandman but still some absolute bangers. I think my fav this time around is the Emperor Norton story (though "Ramadan" is still dazzling especially the art!)

the Rick Riordan Presents formula WORKS if you work it and this book WORKS. The snarky tone and young hero's quest format are familiar and functional and Serwa's Ghanaian specificity makes it interesting. Really fun addition to the RRP canon!

Too lazy to add all the Sandman series right now but this is probably my favorite volume of the series. And the entire series deserves a spot on my ALL TIME FAVORITES list. I can't even talk about it. It's soo brilliant ahhhh.

I remembered this as my fav volume of the series and upon re-read...yeah I think it still is

Re-reading it this time made me realize how cleverly these seemingly-random stories tie in to/foreshadow the next volume. cool-ass shit.

whew stuck the landing

I'm not a big fan of the original Wuthering Heights BUT I'd been really loving the Classics Remixed series so I decided to give this one a try and I thought it really held up on its own just as interesting historical fiction about colonialism & British Indian people. I especially liked Heathcliff's life in Liverpool. This is one where I didn't remember the details of the original story enough to realize how many changes had been made but then I read the afterword and was like, oh yeah. Improvements imo!
