I loved all of these, 5 stars, except for Facade. Definitely the weak spot of the volume, didn't love the way it dealt with the theme of death/suicide. The first three stories were so good! The Midsummer Nights Dream one was so fun!

I like the idea if the short stories but I only really liked Calliope and the cat one. Cool concept and amazing illustrations.

The third Sandman volume is a collection of short stories. A Midsummer Night's Dream shows how brilliantly Sandman entwines with real historical characters. Although most of these stories diverse from the main plot they still include the core themes of The Sandman.

This is an expensive habit. 3 more disconnected stories, plus an example of a graphic novel script (in this case, for the first story in the book). Interesting art as usual, and decent stories as well. I'd like to see more of the title character though...
