Bug! the Adventures of Forager by Lee Allred
4.0
I miss Madman. And I miss the Neil Gaiman run on Sandman. And I love Michael and Laura Allred's art.
I don't care about most of the DC Universe, and, in particular, I don't care about The New Gods. I don't usually enjoy dreams within dreams, or stories where you're supposed to guess what is and isn't atually happening.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this intersection of things I am nostalgic for, and things I have never had the fucks for. I rolled my eyes often at the 90s style snappy patter a la "Vile things, I think I love you." but I kept reading this weird, trippy little story, and am ultimately glad I did.
I recommend it for fans of Allred's [b:Madman Vol. 1: The Oddity Odyssey|115585|Madman Vol. 1 The Oddity Odyssey|Mike Allred|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348820192s/115585.jpg|111309], people looking for Sandman-like stories that don't feature Morpheus (and yet feature Sandman), pop-art comic enthusiasts, and fans of DC Comics who are looking for a story that isn't currently mired in Rebirth continuity.
