3.0

I really liked the premise behind this book, and am familiar with some of the background characters from The Sandman books. But I didn’t like Tim or the Trenchcoat Brigade and found the art to be very off-putting. One of the characters expresses some appalling opinions, and while I think the point is to illustrate he is a very bad man,  it still made me a little uncomfortable.
