The Sandman. Book Four by Neil Gaiman a list of artists.

 

This book is the last in the series and includes stories: the Castle, the Kindly Ones (hated the art), the Wake (loved it), Exiles (my favourite), the Tempest, and the last sandman story. While I'm satisfied I finished the main series I think I will leave Mr Sandman for a while before I decide to continue with the spin offs.

The Sandman Book Three by Neil Gaiman. And a long list of artists.

So far my least favourite of the 3 books I've read so far. Though there were a few stories which I really enjoyed. Best for me is Brief Lives in which Delirium and Dream go on a quest for their older brother Destruction. There were a few short stories at the beginning, which were OK. And another arc: World's End, which I thought was OK but didn't enjoy because I didn't like the art (last 3 photos). Overall, I am still enjoying The Sandman and will go for Book Four sometime in the coming months.

The Sandman. Book Two. Written by Neil Gaiman.

Includes: Season of Mists arc, short stories Thermidor, August, Three Septembers and a January, A Game of You arc, The Song of Orpheus arc, short stories the flowers of romance, Death - a winter's tale and How they met themselves. 

I liked most of the stories. My favourite was Season of Mists, which is fantastic. Morpheous goes to hell to free an old lover but he finds Lucifer quiting his job and closing hell. I also liked Thermidor, about a woman rescuing Orpheus' head during the french revolution and August, a story about Roman Emperor Augustus. 

The chapters are drawn, inked, coloured by a long list of artists. This is one thing that characterises this series: the inconsistency of the art. So much credit to the writer who keeps everything together into coherent, gripping, and interesting story lines. 

Some chapters are good (my favourite in the art department is Kelly Jones, who draws most of the Season of Mists arc.), but there are chapters that are just a pain to read (like most of A Game of You).

The Sandman Book One by Neil Gaiman.

I am finally reading this classic. Liked book one. Will read book two soon. The Sandman is the Lord of Dreams or the Lord of the Realm of Dreams (also Morpheus and other names) and the story is a mix of dark fantasy and mythology (Greek and others). So far, the writing is top quality. I've read two short novels and a short story compilation by Gaiman before and didn't like them tbh. I find his writing and ideas much better in comic form.
