Review:Four short standalone fantasies make up this collection from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. "Calliope" finds a washed up writer taking his muse captive with dire results all around. "A Dream of a Thousand Cats" is a delightful fable about the nature of reality, and an assured favorite of cat lovers. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is not so much a re-interpretation of Shakespeare's classic comedy as a command performance for a wholly unexpected audience. The final vignette seems inspired by a cla...

Review:Another fantastic story by the great Neil Gaiman. If you're a fan of the series or his story telling then this will not disappoint. The art alone is justification enough to buy this work. Can't recommend it enough. Read more
Review:One of many things that separated Neil Gaiman's Sandman from other comic book characters is that the foreboding but likable king of dreams has existed since the beginning of time and is supposed to be an archetype common to all cultures. Gaiman was free to visit any time and place he wanted to. However, he set all of Sandman's long story arches in the present. Tales from ancient Rome or Elizabethan England were limited to single issue stories bordering bigger epics. Fables and Reflections, place... Read more
Review:An absolutely excellent read. Gaiman presents characters that we all know and love in a unique and exciting way. Even though I am not thoroughly read in the marvel universe, what I do know about the characters shone through and had me wanting more. Read more
Review:This is simply a great book. Neil Gaiman is a genius, and I have no doubt that he is one of the names of our era that will go down in literary history. One of the reasons for this is that despite writing in a genre that has traditionally been considered masculine, Gaiman has a profound understanding of the female psyche, and that understanding is best shown off in this chapter of the Sandman series. Although I hesitate to recommend this collection as an introduction to Gaiman's work, I do think ... Read more
Review:I enjoyed the story, though it had quite a different feel than Sanderson's usual works. This may be because it's a graphic novel, so only the dialog and narration are visible. You can read my full review over on MySF Reviews. Read more
Review:This is a wonderful book totally worth the price. I know that some of these comics can be found online but there are many that cannot be and in this book, there are explanations of some of the comics and it tells a wonderful story. Read more
Review:Great little book! I recently discovered Sarah's Scribbles and spent more hours than I care to admit reading through the majority of them online.
Her work is most appealing to a certain personality type and/or a majority of Millennials, so this might not be everyone's cup of tea.
I was mildly disappointed this collection didn't contain a handful of my favorite strips, but they were newer and likely posted after the book was already compiled. So here's hoping for book 2! Other than ... Read more
Review:I am a great admirer of Dawkins and his lucid writing, but was curious to see wether this applied to writing for youngsters (having a 15 year old grandson). Happily this turned out to be the case. A minor point: as a MD I thought the medical part a little bit weak. Read more
Review:I liked the comic it was in good condition when it arrived and showed up at a decent time and was very enjoyable i am glad to finally be able to add this comic to my collection after three tries to purchase it(not from this seller.) Read more
