I started reading Sandman for the first time in the new collected editions. Some of the weirdest and most off-putting issues come early on, so if you get past those you'll get invested in Dream's story. Gaiman plays with a bewildering range of tones, genres, and subject matter--from cats to Shakespeare to serial killers--as the story is largely episodic. The art is purposely kind of rough, which isn't my style but you get used to it.

That went just as dark as feared, but there were some truly spectacular feats of imagination, and even some sweet, beautiful moments that help me understand why it's such a popular series. I honestly don't think I could competently list all the potential trigger warnings, but the length of these bound volumes encourages you to take your time, and take a break from it, which I recommend. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality Having attempted the American Gods graphic novels (adapted from the novel), I can say it makes a difference that this Neil Gaiman story was first shaped to accompany art; I found the American Gods series very wordy the way it was presented in graphic medium, didn't strike the same balance between text and image. 2/? 1y
Robotswithpersonality Did not know before starting that this not only originated in, but thoroughly reflects the 80s, but it's a fascinating window back - not just the fashion, the drugs and the AIDS crisis, but contemplating how groundbreaking it may have been: how it not simply humanizes but takes in stride, the existence of gay people and and drag queens. It shouldn't be a big thing, but if I've got my historical timeline right, it still was. 3/3 1y
julesG That last always struck me as a genius move. I read the GNs a few years ago and had a similar reaction. 1y

The source of this man's bout of inspiration is incredibly dark, but I would LOVE to read a book based on this premise.
