Poderia dizer que a pior parte é convocar um Thor de testosterona histriónica, mas como este rebenta com as fuças do Loki, tudo fica bem. (Pelo menos não mudou o sexo ao Deus-Trovão, para alcançar novas fatias de mercado)
Apreciei particularmente a issue do colégio, pela imprevisibilidade e pela revisitação que o imaginário Gaiman empresta a um género pelo qual nutro um soft spot: os boarding school books.

[SPOILER ALERT]

Por fim, ver o Lucifer de asas cortadas a apreciar o Pôr-do-Sol no hemisfério Sul recordou-me o Hermes, de tala na garra, convalescendo sobre a mesinha do café (cf. Wonder Woman do Azzarello). Um mimo promissor.

Exquisite. This was my favourite of the Sandman books the first time I read them, and I remember why.

“And the mortals! I ask you - why? Why do they blame me for all their little failings? They use my name as if I spend my entire day sitting on their shoulders, forcing them to commit acts they would otherwise find repulsive. "The Devil made me do it." I have never made one of them do anything. Never. They live their own tiny lives. I do not live their lives for them. And then they die, and they come here (having transgressed against what they believed to be right), and expect us to fulfill their desire for pain and retribution. I don't make them come here. They talk of me going around and buying souls, like fishwife come market day, never stopping to ask themselves why. I need no souls. And how can anyone own a soul? No. They belong to themselves... they just hate to have to face up to it.”



“E os mortais! Eu pergunto: por quê? Me diga! Por quê? Por que eles culpam a mim pelos seus defeitos? Usam meu nome como se eu passasse o dia inteiro instigando-os a cometerem atos que, de outra forma, achariam repulsivos. "O Diabo me forçou a isso." Nunca forcei ninguém a fazer nada. Nunca. Então eles morrem, vêm para cá (tendo contrariado o que acreditavam ser certo) e esperam que seus desejos de dor e retribuição sejam satisfeitos por nós. Eu não os faço vir para cá. Eles falam de mim como se eu andasse por aí comprando almas na feira, sem jamais se perguntarem por quê. Não preciso de almas. E como alguém pode comprar uma alma? Não. Eles pertencem a si mesmos... mas se odeiam por ter que enfrentar isso.”
