• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I don’t even know what to rate this.
The beginning was ok and the last comic was ok. But what the actual fuck was John Dee and the diner scene. The funeral home confession was completely unnecessary and gross. 
Off to watch the Netflix adaptation.

coming into this mostly blind, i think its a solid introduction into the world of the endless. but it’s a set up, and it definitely feels like one. 

i think it dragged needlessly in certain points, but i was very satisfied with how it ended. the issue when death was introduced was easily my favorite.

Objectively I know this was really good, yet nothing could draw me in. I wasn’t really enjoying reading it.

I did not think I’d like it at first, but oh boy that book did not let me off the hook. Can’t wait for the next ones (even though it works as a stand alone too as well). I really liked the characters (Lucifer, Dream, death although not as much and also the girl lol). It’s Neil Gaiman, what did I expect?!?!
