I read this because I really enjoyed the series on Netflix, and as the first comic I've ever read this was good. It's pretty much exactly what I expected after having watched it first. Usually I prefer to read the original before watching adaptations but I actually think it helped me visualize the world and characters better. That might sound weird because obviously a comic gives you visualizations already, but that's just what I thought...

Probably my favourite storywas the last one. I like how Death is depicted in this. She's not scary or cruel but actually a pretty cool person. I think that's a very unique idea and sort of a nice change after the other stories which are quite dark and brutal.
