I've loved the comics for a long time, and this audio adaptation more than did them justice. I'm excited to listen to the rest!

This is so amazingly done. The sound design, the voice actors, the music, the narration – I’ve read all of the comics over and over and I cannot say enough good things about this adaptation.

This was a beautiful audio drama. James McAvoy's voice is perfect for Morpheus. Like some other reviewers, a lot of this content was far too graphic for me - especially as Dirk Maggs outdid himself in his soundscapes. I was far too uncomfortable throughout many episodes. Kat Dennings as Death was a *delightful* surprise.
