Sandman, as I'm sure you all know, is one of the greatest comic series of all time, depicting the god of dreams, Dream, and his conflicts that usually involve an encyclopedic array of various mythological characters and elements. If you've never read it before, you really, really should. Unfortunately, you shouldn't start with this volume which is just four one off stories that only barely feature Dream and his posse at all. They're good, but they're just filler. The best story in this collection in my opinion is one involving a writer who has kidnapped one of the muses to use as his own personal sex slave/inspiration. The best story in this collection according to everybody else on Earth is one involving William Shakespeare being commissioned by Dream to write and perform A Midsummer Night's Dream. Anyway, start with Season of Mists but this is fine I guess.RATING: 63%

I haven't read any of Gaiman's comics, which is kind of embarrassing. He's a decent short story writer, but not much of a novelist. Sort of like Clive Barker, but more sissy.
