Sandman Deluxe: Präludien & Notturni
by Neil Gaiman
Beginning to read his works last month I'm already infected by the Neil Gaiman virus. So why not read my first ever comic series written by such an amazing author?
Unfortunately the local public library only owns the Sandman series in German which is the main reason for my not-so-great rating. Whoever translated this decided to go literally from English to German. Aside of this sounding a little weird it leads to the whole conversations being grammatically wrong because we use another tense to talk about something in the past. This was really annoying to me and ruined this comic a little to me. I hope it gets better in the following volumes.
In terms of story and characters it was a little hard to get used to everything. The setting and the vibes of this comic are something very new to me, the story was surprisingly violent and the drawings graphic. I kind of enjoyed it but continously had an uncomfortable feeling. Probably Neil Gaiman is right saying in the epilogue that the first volume shows the process of finding his own style and that everything comes together in the later comics.
