#AdventRecommends December 19th

I read the first ten volumes of Sandman this year, and I hadn‘t read many before I knew that I would have to reread these ones.

About the King of Dreams, Morpheus, and his siblings. There‘s several side characters that keep on reappearing and that‘s why I want to reread this some time in the future because I know I missed so much.

Full review: https://scepticalreading.com/2021/06/talk-dirty-to-me/

The Sandman audioplay is based on the DC comics/graphic novels of the same title. I‘m going so far as to say that I enjoyed the audioplay much more than the GNs, because the cast surrounding James McAvoy makes the story/stories really come to life for me.

julesG @DrexEdit - I really enjoyed the audioplay, more than the GNs. But that might be based on the great cast. 😉 4y
GingerAntics Oh sandman on audio. That sounds amazing!!! I‘ve been avoiding this series just because of the sheer volume of it. This could be the way to go. 4y
Andrew65 Sounds brilliant 👏👏👏 4y

Look at this mess. It's a currently reading stack for October. Some are for the podcast, some are solo projects. Don't know if I'm gonna finish in time.

So this headline just popped up in my life.

🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️

Pretty happy about it. 😅

Sandman is my all time favorite comic so I'm pretty all right with this. Apparently it's being released this summer?

So now we're getting this from Amazon and we're also getting the show on Netflix.

Its a good time to be a Sandman fan. 😁

GypsyKat I‘ve always wanted to read this comic, but I‘m not sure where to start. Is it a stand alone series or do I need to read other comics for background? Any suggestions? 5y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @GypsyKat Its a standalone series of 75 issues in total. There are many different collections for it. The one I would reccomend for you would be the newest 30th anniversary trades they just released (10 in total) - it's probably the easiest & most affordable way right now. I tagged the first vol. for you. 😊 5y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @GypsyKat Also...just as an FYI...starting this June DC is releasing the series in their oversized deluxe format, which will be 2 trades worth in 1 oversized HC. Which I guess will mean it's 5 in total. They'll be 60 bucks or so a pop though. If you search Sandman deluxe on Amazon you should see the pre-order listing for Vol. 1. 5y
ju.ca.no YES! I also read about this today and I am excited:D 5y
GypsyKat @GrilledCheeseSamurai Thanks so much! 🤗 5y

One of my favorite graphic novels features Death and without his #mask he's unable to keep the world around him in balance.

Great read if you enjoy dark and gritty.

1. Neil Gaiman, and because I respect him so much I would order take-out.

2. Any year I could either watch the Beatles hang out in the recording studio or pet a Maiasaur.

3. Ben Whishaw

The woman who inspired Death in The Sandman comics passed away 😭 Rest In Peace, Cinamon Hadley and thanks for being such an icon.

I'm thumbing through my copies of the comics and feeling kinda mortal tonight.

2. Either

3. Bookmarks, but any of the above are cool.

I was catching up on this show and did anyone else know that it is "based on characters by Neil Gaiman, et al for (Sandman) Vertigo"? The show just got even better

I started reading these in January 2012. It was alright, but also wasn't quite sure what the big deal was. I read the next few volumes here and there over the years always thinking I must be missing something. Then for some reason I picked up volume 6 this month and have suddenly been completely captivated by them. I just finished volume 10 today and am looping back to #1.

Joanne1 Litsy confession... I've never read any Neil Gaiman and before Litsy I hadn't even heard of him. Glad you got so into this series eventually. 8y
Graciouswarriorprincess Love this series and your box set!💕 8y
LibrarianToujours @Joanne1 I discovered him in 2009, but I don't remember how. But as I'm reading these, I'm amazed that they were written in the late 80's early 90's. Neverwhere is my favorite. 8y

Oh I nearly forgot about this other #literarycrush I had - on Dream, one of the Endless in Gaiman's Sandman series. 😍😍 #feistyfeb

night_shift Yes! Same here! 8y
GatheringBooks I found Dream to be a tad melodramatic. I was half in love with Destiny, the other half with Destruction. 8y
kalinichta Yessss. I was madly in love with Dream, and with Gaiman himself, for years. 8y

Unique fact: my husband and I met in Singapore on a blind date, a few months before both of us were to go to different countries (he to Illinois, me to the UK) for graduate school. He stayed on in the US (moved to California) for work and I returned to Singapore after school. So we had a couple of years of very long distance-relationship. But it all worked out. This December will be our eighth wedding anniversary! #augustphotochallenge

Before I seek my own Sleep of the Just (or Unjust, as the case may be), here's my pick for #recommendsday. If you've never read Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels, scurry to get this! These tales are dark, twisty, violent, sad, redemptive, & everything in between, set off with perfect Gothic art. This edition is ideal for binge reading. Sublime!

Trav Great recommendation. Love The Sandman series! 8y
