Skip it. Not worth the bother.

I only enjoyed issue three- a hope in hell.
This series has long been highly rated and I found it a almost complete disappointment and let down.

All the female characters lack agency. They are foils to the male characters who have agency in multiple ways. Only two named characters offer characters of minority ethnicity - both have no impact on overall plot.

The first eight issues of Gaiman’s sandman comic books. Gaiman’s afterward acknowledges he finds “many of them awkward and ungainly,although even the clumsiest of them has something - a phrase perhaps or an idea or an image I’m still proud of”.

I forgot how scary the first book is! Read the series as a teenager. The art is beautiful, the paneling and lettering are so creative. A lot of the DC world references def went over my head as a kid.

coming into this mostly blind, i think its a solid introduction into the world of the endless. but it’s a set up, and it definitely feels like one.

i think it dragged needlessly in certain points, but i was very satisfied with how it ended. the issue when death was introduced was easily my favorite.

While I found parts of Preludes & Nocturnes very compelling, this was way too dark for me, in a way that I just couldn't stomach. Cain and Abel was one thing, but almost every other issue has something horrifying happening in it. Not something I could deal with at all.
