crabbygirl 's review for:

The Absolute Sandman, Volume One by Malcolm Jones III, Mike Dringenberg, Kelley Jones, Michael Zulli, Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, Colleen Doran, Charles Vess, Steve Parkhouse, Chris Bachalo
2.0

after hearing so many good things about this series, I'm finally starting it.
it's quite dense, plot-wise, and I'm still not sure if this sexy immortal-man-of-mystery is supposed to be a hero or villain (I'm imagining a mix of Neil Gaiman himself with a heavy dose of Alan Rickman's Snape) but I'm enjoying the romp so far. this was a huge volume - 600+ pages - and I didn't look ahead to see how many volumes there were, so imagine my oh cripes! reaction when I finally saw there are 5 volumes. so this will not be a quickly achieved goal.
