Vertigo, 2000

Some great rarities from the master of storytelling

he perfect companion to Smoke & Mirrors, Neil Gaiman's Midnight Days collects some short stories written in comics form for DC's Vertigo line, ones that were not part of the masterpiece Sandman series that Vertigo ran between 1988 and 1996. The stories in this collection are unique, because they ...

Vertigo, 2005

Says you, hatstand.

The first thing I should tell you about Trifecta is that if you haven't already read the comics individually, only the last four issues of this compilation were drawn by Jock (16-19). 13 and 14 were drawn by Nick Dragotta, and 15 by Ale Garza. Just a word of warning. It's not like these two ...

The Sandman Vol. 6: Fables and Reflections35 reviews
Neil Gaiman

Vertigo, 1994

One of the best in the series!

+ Gaiman continues to amaze
+ Good, as always.

To me, this is one of the best volumes in the series. It's a collection of eight separate stories of varying lengths, almost all with an historical connection. (To more or less real people, that is.) And there's no frame story for a change. "Three Septembers and a January" is a lovely piece about ...

These, if this is your Genre, are completely amazing. The price that I got these for was phenomenal. I paid nearly half of what any comic book store charges, received them in wonderful condition.

One of the best graphic novels out there

+ Graphic SF Reader

People go on and on about how great this series is, and the good news is, it completely lives up to the hype. I came to "Sleeper" after reading a few other titles Ed Brubaker had written, notably DC's deliciously revamped "Catwoman" (which is also a lot of fun)... I was skeptical, but I'm glad I ...

a delight for Hazel fans

Since Hazel has long been my favorite character in Sandman (yes, even over Death) I was happy to see a book starring her. Her story arc shows that in her quiet, insecure way, Hazel is still loyal and even noble, and smart about the things which matter most. So I read and re-read my favorite ...

Death: the High Cost of Living61 reviews
Neil Gaiman

Titan Books Ltd, 1994

Death is really a sweetie

+ Interesting story, great read

For me, as for many fans of the "Sandman" series, the best character is Death. Gaiman conceives her not as a frightening figure in a cowl and carrying a scythe, but as an exceedingly perky young woman who wears black jeans and leotards and sports rather Goth-y makeup. She likes people -- she meets ...

This is "Hollywood Blockbuster" done right. The A-Team with a Three Kings edge, Andy Diggle writes intelligent action entertainment better than anyone, and his cynical take on world affairs gives this series a realistic, sharp edge that's missing from most other stories in this genre. The ...
