The Absolute Sandman, Volume One by Neil Gaiman, Michael Zulli, Charles Vess, Chris Bachalo, Kelley Jones, Mike Dringenberg, Malcolm Jones III, Steve Parkhouse, Sam Kieth, Colleen Doran

5.0

I started reading the Sandman comics because of the Netflix adaptation. While I enjoyed the show, it just can't compare to the comic. The illustrations are gritty yet beautiful. It really immerses you in the world of The Dreaming, all the perverse and delicate intricacies of it. The characters just grab at the attention, even the more fantastical ones, are still humanistic. They serve as reflections, mirrors that amplify the emotions their non-god/omniscient counterparts feel.
Can't wait to continue reading this series!
