it was amazing

bookshelves: 2020

I'd forgotten how many of these early Sandman stories are grounded in horror. Parts of this are dark, disturbing and unsettling. The Corinthian is an excellent creation and nightmare. The Cereal Convention slayed me (Well, not literally.) I still enjoy how Gaiman repurposes obscure DC characters like Brute and Glob (or even Hector Hall and Fury from Infinity Inc. for that matter.) Sometimes the pacing is slow but I always enjoy the ride. I really like how even these one off tales like the story of Nada flesh out things that were mentioned before. (We met Nada briefly in Hell during Preludes & Nocturnes.) Hob's story where he meets Morpheus every 100 years was glorious. I'm really enjoying this re-read of one of my long term favorite comics.
