I yhoroughly enjoyed the television series of this volume.  The clumsy writing choices of vol1 still show at times in this vol2. I can see the 1980s in the drawings and dialogue. at best it is amusing. At worst I cringe and wince.  Sadly the female characters continue to be drawn and written for the male gaze.

I forgot how scary this series is! Can’t believe I read it as a teen. Had to skip over the serial killer convention. So many CW please take care of yourself. 

That said I think the interwoven text of the sandman series is really strong in this one.
