If you're picking this up because of the adaptation, you should know that it is a lot less diverse. The showrunners and Gaiman made a lot of changes in the show, and IMO it's a vast improvement. It probably makes sense considering when this was published, so this is just a warning to read this with the right expectations.

I started the series after finishing this volume and read the second while watching it. The pacing of the comic feels a little rushed and there are some changes in the show that I prefer over book version, but I still really like this comic.
Spoilers for the comic and the series:
Though I missed the Etrigan cameo in the show, separating the story from the larger DC world works better for the story, though there's still a gender-bent Constantine. It's trippy to think about The Sandman and Doom Patrol series being part of the same world.
