Absolutely Amazing!
I was originally going to get the entire Sandman series in the originally 10 vol set, but then I read how much better these vols. were. They are and worth every penny. The new color brings the story even more to life then ever before. If you...

Blend of fantasy, mythology and dreams
In Ukraine we say "like a fool with his bag" when we try to explain that someone is inseparable with some of his possession (say, Gollum & his ring :) ). That perfectly describes my past weekend - anyone who saw me saw this book. It got me :)

What you see is what you get.
If you like Sandman this is a perfect way to have the stories neatly stored in one place, with juicy extra material to go along with it.

A book only as Oversized as the Series itself
Anyone who wants to start with Sandman I think should start by heading to the library and borrowing several volumes first. Anyone who's a fan should own this.

I have already read my copies of the graphic novels to tatters, I've long since lost my copies of the original comic books. (I'm actually one of those weirdos who actually reads their comics.) I was completely amazed at the stunning quality of...

They recolored shoddy coloring with... computerized shoddy coloring
I just heard about this book, and almost jumped for joy when I heard it was recolored. I always thought Sandman is so rich a mythology surely they could someday release a paint-over of the material as rich and artistically skilled as the material...
