In the first of Neil Gaiman's famous graphic novel series, we see The Sandman try to regain all of the power he has lost. This was a reread for me, and I had forgotten just how gritty, violent and downright disturbing it was. I would warn folks of that going in, but it is such a fascinating story and I love the way Gaiman does magical realism and plays with mythological themes. The artwork is also amazing! My gripes would be that some of the language is a little dated, the characters are not very diverse and there main characters seem to be men until the end...
