5.0
I used to see Sandman comics around and I'd immediately become fixated on the covers. They were always so beautiful. Then I'd flip open the comic and discover that the inside looked nothing like the outside and I would put it right back down, never going any further. I can't even tell you how many times that happened.
Later, as I became a little more aware of how comics worked (insides never look like outsides) and as I read other stuff by Neil Gaiman, I'd think about reading the Sandman comics but rounding them up seemed impossible and tedious. The combination of the library and the release of the Absolute Sandman volumes really solved my problems. I flew through all four volumes and loved every minute of it. The later issues especially have amazing artwork and the story is completely compelling.
I recommend the books highly but be warned- they are HUGE and heavy. Not to be lugged around.
