Sandman

Regret buying: No

Would buy again: Yes

Would read again: Yes


Sandman 25

The really-not-enjoyable “British schoolboy gets killed by dead bullies because Lucifer quit Hell” story.  Even worse than “Facade.”


Rating: Disliked


Sandman 26-28

The rest of Season of Mists.  Not quite as good as the first half, mostly due to the literal Deus Ex Machina that solves Dream’s problem for him.  


I want more of this story...

...two soulmates who meet in dreams but then wake up.

I laughed.  And never read Marvel's Thor the same way again.


Sunsets are definitely one of the things that suggest the existence of God.


Rating: Really good


Sandman 29-30

Thermidor: The one where Johanna Constantine rescues Orpheus.

August: The one where Emperor Augustus masquerades as a beggar for a day.  Both are decent enough, but nowhere near the top end of the Sandman spectrum.


Rating: Pretty good


Sandman 31

Three Septembers and a January: Emperor Norton!  He was a real person, and that fact makes this story all the more delightful.  


Rating: Good
