The Sandman Vol. 5: A Game of You by Neil Gaiman
5.0
First volume to make me cry. The characters, the plot, the visuals- everything was fantastic and heartbreakingly true. Also the representation although rugged at times, was good- characters were fully developed, redeemed and strengthened.
This was definitely a political piece. The forward by Samuel Delaney really struck me when he dissected this volume as a political piece in New York- America.
“The dominate ideology… in popular narratives…say…Oppressed groups have to be killed off in the end, no matter how good and Nobel they are, so that we [white America] can feel sorry form them, then forget about them.”
I think the notion of forgetting/ignoring the truth is very prominent in this issue, and how when characters reclaim the truth and speak it, they shake the world.
