The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll's House by Neil Gaiman

3.0

Tore through this on the train back home. great story - the serial killer convention was classic goods-omens Neil Gaimon, both satirical and nightmarish. Rose was not the most original of characters but I still cared about her story. The art and concepts for this are just fantastic - when Rose gets a look into all of her housemates' dream worlds, and each looks completely different from the art style to the coloring to the font, and then the walls between the panels start breaking down, there's a great deal of the suspense and momentousness of this story that's built solely through the layout and design, and that's brilliant.
