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!

extinctpanda's review against another edition

Completely unnecessary and over the top sexual violence with NO plot relevance whatsoever.

in the 40% I read there was necrophilia, people fucking until they died and their bodies being explained like that. Someone talking about dreaming about raping their mother. Plenty of other grossness and violence. And finally the point at which I gave up: a woman "removing her maidenhead" by injuring her vagina with a rock

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.
