Neil Gaiman reminds me why I love comics in every one of these stories. His passion for stories, and most importantly for the medium of comics, shines through in every page and by the end of this book I felt a tear on my cheek as I closed this book.
In this time when stories are ever-present and seemingly as cheap as the wrapping paper of bubblegum, it's beautiful to see an artist that breathes stories as if they aren't just petty trinkets and entertainments. Comics, and the stories found in them, are part of Neil Gaiman and this collection is a wonderful reminder that ate the core of this medium is humanity gently asking for the reader's attention, and maybe in the case of "Hold me" the understanding of a simple embrace.
