What can I possibly add to the already tremendous chorus of praise for these books. Everything about this volume is wonderful, from the gorgeous and varying artwork, to Gaiman's masterful story-telling, weaving disparate threads into the finest tapestry. It has been just as good the second time around.I have owned The Sandman in almost every iteration, from the original monthly comic books to softbound 'graphic novel' collected works. With Absolute Sandman, I will never need another copy as they are simply beautiful. Each large leather bound tome is encased in a matching sleeve with artwork by the legendary Dave McKean. His distinctive stylings are further reproduced on each cover, with attractive stamped detail and silver lettering. Whether you are an old fan or a newcomer, I can't recommend
Volume Three of The Absolute Sandman is the series returning to top form.The first volume felt wondrous, epic, and heartfelt. The second for me wasnt as consistent as the first, and lacked the punch I expected. However, all is back as it should be with the third. It starts with a fantastic arc that brings together Death and Delirium in a poignant and satisfying way. Following on from this, we get a few single-issue shorts, including the standout Ramadan. The issue has a visual style miles apart
I think the first two were better
This is a very solid set of stories within the Absolute Sandman collection. Definitely not to be missed.
Absolute Sandman is heavy literature in the literal way, I stopped reading every time holding up the book started to hurt. It is no secret that I love the Endless. I carry Death's symbol with me a lot. This book is just as deep and complex, the art just as captivating as the first two. I've been in love, I'm still in love. One could say - my love for them is endless. /pun alert/
Well, this is of course, brilliant. But why? It occurs to me that the world Gaiman set up for himself was in fact the perfect tool for him: He could incorporate any mythology, religion, genre, location or time and still make it all self-consistent, hence allowing his imagination to go wherever it wanted or needed to. This particular volume is a great showcase for this variety and it is enhanced by the various changes in art style accompanying the changes in mood, atmosphere, character and
