Epic, complicated, sprawling, literary. I don't really understand WHAT happened half of the time, but kept my attention and desire to find out where Dream would go next. Beautiful art, would love to spend more time delving into this world again (it's been years since I read the original Sandman comics).

Estou marcando apenas esse, o compilado de quadrinhos mais recentes de Sandman, mas reli a série inteira. Foi uma obra bem marcante para mim há uns 15 anos e, nesse novo contato, conseguiu manter boa parte daquela admiração adolescente. É não só o melhor quadrinho que já li, mas uma das obras que, como um todo, mais me encantaram ao longo da vida. Difícil ser mais objetivo do que isso em uma obra de arte que faz parte de quem somos como essa faz de mim. O primeiro volume (Preludes & Nocturnes) e o penúltimo (the kindly ones), são os mais fracos, mas mesmo isso é relativo, a série é impressionante como um todo.
