So strange. The blending of characters we already have been acquainted with in other stories made it unique. I felt like it was missing something though. Not quite sure what.

I've loved the comics for a long time, and this audio adaptation more than did them justice.  I'm excited to listen to the rest!

I really liked this full cast adaptation. It covers the first 20 issues of the original comic, and I read along in parts in the Annotated Sandman vol 1 which covers the same set of issues. A lot of Gaiman's script notes were use to transition this visual medium to an audio one.

But really it was the great cast that made it so fun, and added layers to different characters and moments. Looking forward to when they release more!
