The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman

4.0

This is a solid start overall but The Sound of Her Wings issue with Death was truly excellent. I’m more into Dringenberg’s art than Keith’s. Dream is such a different protagonist for comics and fantasy in that he’s generally not relatable or particularly likable. He’s humanized in the Death issue but he’s generally a self-centered god in this volume, concerned more with his objects of power than than justice or empathy. He’s even shown to be petty, leaving an ancient lover in hell, where he had cast her, because he still doesn’t forgive her. Strange stuff but so far very compelling.
