I can appreciate that Gaiman's Sandman series did a lot to push boundaries in the 80s and 90s in comics, but in 2020? This isn't necessarily something I'd recommend to anyone who's not actively seeking out the stepping stones that got us to where we are. Yes, they're an important part of history, but I don't think they deserve the ongoing popularity and praise they keep receiving, because this series is far from progressive or imaginative by the standards of what's being done here and now.
