The last Sandman-universe thing I'm planning to read, this boasts a different author but the same setting and themes. It was pretty good. I liked parts of it better than others, with my favorite being the arc about Eve and the ravens. I'm still not wild about the Corinthian or any of the stories that pertain to him. It took me awhile to get through this and I suppose it was because I wasn't overwhelmingly excited about where it was going through a goodly portion of it.

Some of the stories were creepy (in a nice way). I enjoyed reading all of them. Could've been better, of course. Graphics were nicely done.

This book collects The Dreaming #15-19 and #22-25.
Read #15, it was dark, and good. I'm only partially a corporate whore because I work from home, but I have worked in an office and often wonder what it would be to work in a low-paying, physical labor job. Always seems like it would be kind of freeing.
Read #16, I didn't get this one at all. It seemed to have a couple story lines mixed together but I didn't understand if they fit together or why/how.
Read #17-19, Very dark story, reminded me of The Cell or basically any serial killer story. Probably would have helped if I knew the Corinthian's story but I haven't read it. Not a fan of the crappy art LOTS of words on the page thing. Though it does give it a dirtier/deeper feeling. Probably what they were going for. Like the crappy art in the Preacher. May even be the same artist.

This is a fine, fine follow-up to Neil Gaiman's Sandman. All of these stories remain true to the original vision, and expand upon the lives of the secondary characters in The Sandman series. My favorites were the longer, extended story arc that explores The Corinthian's relationship to his previous incarnation, and Matthew the Raven's ties to the waking world, his former life, and the long line of ravens who came before him. I always loved Matthew, so I really liked having a story devoted entirely to him.
