hay algo mágico en el sandman más mitológico. sus historias más humanas aparecen, irónicamente, en aquellos números que más se separan del personaje principal y lo presentan con la distancia de lo divino y lo desconocido. se le perdonan esos momentos más flojitos en los que la trama se cierra casi con prisas, por esas humildes incursiones en el mundo de los sueños.
mi número favorito ha sido el nueve, "historias en la arena", con mención especial al impresionante dibujo del quince ("hacia la noche").

Even better than the last. Not sure if I'm learning to appreciate graphic novels more or I'm seeing Neal Gaiman's development as a writer.

Having recovered his stolen artifacts, Morpheus now sets about tracking down rogue dreams that have escaped his realm, including a terrifying and murderous nightmare called the Corinthian.

This was my favorite story arc when I read the original comics. I am still picking up on seeds of story that will flower much later on in the series, things which I had missed or forgotten when I was buying it in monthly installments. This is definitely a series that rewards multiple readings.

The "cereal convention" is ingenious, and creepy and funny at the same time.

Un pasito más de esta serie, todo sube y muestra ideas impresionantes. Y siembra otras posibles historias para el futuro. Lo mejor, cuando la casa de muñecas sueña y prácticamente rompe todo de la realidad.
