    Courtney Crumrin and the Coven of Mystics de Ted Naifeh (FFortuna)
    FFortuna: Sandman is much more intense and adult, but for those who have already read it they might read Courtney Crumrin as something simple and enjoyable.

    Doom Patrol, Vol.1: Crawling From the Wreckage de Grant Morrison (FFortuna)
  3. 00
    Bones of the Moon de Jonathan Carroll (mmonk)
    mmonk: The two works are so closely tied together that it's hard to decide if the Sandman arc is an homage or some kind of a quasi-sequel to Carroll's novel. Reading one work enriches the understanding of the other.

Not my favorite of the bunch. I’m less interested in people than Dream, but I can respect the story change in concept. ( )
  bobbybslax | Dec 22, 2022 |
Still good, just less of Morpheus in this one, and it was a notch higher on the disturbing meter than the last one. In this, possibly more than any of the others, I wasn't sure what was going on for about half the book. As always, the story unfolded into something that engulfed me by the end.

I always love it when Morpheus shows up. The panels that led to his appearance were really cool.

So, I only gave it 3 stars, not because it wasn't good; I just didn't enjoy it quite as much as the others. I'll definitely continue with the series. ( )

This volume seems to take a piece from 'Doll's House' and runs with it, expands it. In 'A Doll's House' there is a small part with Barbie and Martin Tenbones in a dream and this volume expands on these characters. Though it seems part of it is derivative, reminding me of Wizard of Oz before the Wizard of Oz is actually mentioned here, but it turns out, for a good reason. Though that reason might not be enough, when the past books have had such great plots. So I think that makes it my least favorite volume so far... But this series is constantly bringing back characters from other volumes which is fun. Lots of callbacks! Not even halfway through the series, looking forward to more! ( )

A Game of You is the least popular of all The Sandman installments, yet Gaiman considers it his favorite. When it was first published, a story in which Morpheus barely appears, in which half the action takes place in a Disney-on-acid world of talking animals and a villainous Cuckoo, a quest that features the most MacGuffiny MacGuffin ever, and stars one heroine in search of an identity, two lesbians, one trans-woman and a Bronze-age witch...well, let’s just say that the heroes of Comic Book Men, had they been filming in 1992, wouldn’t quite know what to make of it.

I have great admiration for the genius of this series, for the themes, for the storytelling, and the way they are combined; however, of all THE SANDMAN trade collections, it is the one I find least enjoyable as a reading experience.

In reviewing this collection, as masterful as it is, I feel I have to dock it half a star because so many readers do not enjoy reading it. But how many books that I don’t enjoy reading am I willing to give four-and-a-half stars? Not many, if at any at all. Leave it to Gaiman to make me praise in a long review a story that I wasn’t even looking forward to re-reading!
