The way I would describe this text is ‘dark whimsical’. I genuinely had no clue where the plot was going,
 And couldn’t anticipate all the twists and turns. 

It feels that the author had a plethora ideas that he expertly braided together under the theme of ‘dreams’ and ‘Morpheus’. 

Through dreams and revelation, this text touches on what it is to be present, human, and the challenges we face outside the dreaming.

tbh I don’t know what I expected sandman to be but it wasn’t really this. I’ve read a decent amount of Gaiman books and I know this is super popular so I was thinking it would be a real crowning jewel but honestly I found most of it very boring. Maybe it’s just not my style, I’ve never been one much for grim dark. Also I know it was written in the 80’s but woof. Yikes, even. I hate to bring it up but with all the allegations against Gaiman, a lot of the treatment of women paints an unfortunate picture. It’s kind of crazy to me that I’ve never heard any criticism about these aspects of his writing. 

Idk the main part I liked was the epilogue so I might still end up reading the next one just to see if it’s more in that direction but I’m not hopeful

I enjoyed this comic and look forward to reading the next volume. That being said, if you are concerned about any kind of sensitive content, I would look up the content warnings. Especially 24 hrs (third to last comic) can be skipped without missing much of the story.

While reading I was like yasss this is so fun and engaging.

When i finished i was so confused at what i had read. Means it's a good comic. No sugarcoating, no easing you in and lots if small details and easter eggs to find.

This may be my favorite comic now. After Good Omens I thought Neil Gaiman's writing may not be for me, but I think I just wanted to see a faster-paced story from him. I recommend this for everyone, but skip 24 Hours if you can't stomach edgy 90's psycho horror. And skip the intro, it has spoilers.
