Nearly as good as the House of Whispers series and way better than I was expecting it to be. Loved all the nightmare interludes featuring guest artists and the two hitmen who could have walked out of a Clive Barker story. And there's a character reveal that I did not see coming but put such a smile on my face. You can really tell Tynion loves The Sandman and I can't wait to see how this story unfolds.
