The trippiest part of this book isn't Brother Power. It's seeing Tampa get blown up by a falling satellite.

The Swamp Thing stories flew a little over my head and the final pages were more of a tease then anything. However, I enjoyed the sandman (sandmen?) story with it's "scintillating" "nine pages of party" and would recommend the whole collection just for "Hold Me".

Komik yang aku biasa baca ada 2: manga (Jepun) & manhwa (Korea). Aku ambil masa juga untuk membiasakan diri dengan komik gaya Amerika ini.
Strok lukisan mereka jauh berbeza, itu yang pasti. Aku tahu Neil Gaiman pernah menulis untuk DC Comics; kisah adiwira, seram dll.
Midnight Days menghimpunkan 6 komik terawal Neil sewaktu bekerja dengan DC Comics.
Sedang-sedang sahaja bagi aku, kerana setiap wataknya berkonteks (Swamp Thing, John Constantine dalam DC Universe), jadi aku tak boleh nak appreciate cerita mereka sebagai standalone story sebab tak biasa.

I mostly got this for Gaiman's Hellblazer story 'Hold Me' which I'd heard about but never read. It's Gaiman doing what he does best, a poignant, human story that doesn't need to show you how well-read he is. The rest of the stories are interesting takes on DC properties, mostly Swamp Thing.

Disappointed
Not disappointed in the work but disappointed at how much I didn't care for it.
Let me clarify that I am a fanatic for Neil Gaiman as an novelist, as a short story writer, as a narrator, as a YA author, as a speaker BUT I don't care too much for his comic book writing (I know, I know, start throwing rocks now).
I understand just how great he is and what he did for the industry - it's just not my thing. I'm more of a Spiderman or Calvin & Hobbes comic guy.
So I enjoyed it but not a great deal.
If you like his comic book writing then this is a 5 star book and you must get it but if you prefer his other work (Graveyard Book, Wolves in the Walls, American Gods) then you should wait a while because he has a new novel coming out in a few months.
