Evaluate Epithetical Books The Absolute Sandman, Volume Two (The Absolute Sandman #Two)

What a ride! It's not something to read in a rush, I found myself needing to savor it and take it slow. Very few comics made me do this.

Clearly 5 Stars - as this is the type of Neil Gaiman that I'm realizing I like the best!The start of this volume finds Dream being put in his place by Death, and I loved it so. And, we see his continuing adventure from the first volume from there. We also see a lot of side stories (do they end up being necessary, I'm not sure, and I'm not a critical enough reader to find the connections - TBH), but I enjoyed each of them in their own ways.The first of these side stories, we follow a young boy,

3.5 The story about hell was amazing, the rest paled a bit in comparison. The quality of this edition is still amazing, I just love looking at it.

As much as parts of "A Game of You" bothers me - it's obviously written by a cis person. I can deal with Wanda's identity not being totally accepted by a bunch of fallible characters (because even the gods we encounter in Sandman are fallible beings, and so we can read even the Moon not accepting her as a woman as the Moon's bias, not Gaiman saying "trans women are not women", despite the place people who we'd now call trans held in the cultures Gaiman draws on); however, when she's dead, and

Gaiman is a master storyteller, and I've only read two of Five volumes so far and already I'm more impressed with SANDMAN than I was with American God's, the only connection between the two is that there's alot of mythologies and folklore involvedI disliked the Barbie story? Well chapter one and two were fine, but The land and Wilkinson.. Etc was just lame and that's the sole reason why this volume didn't get a solid 5 stars from meLooking forward to read the remaining volumesAs for now.. Drink

I read this one months ago and thought I'd already logged it on here. Not the case, apparently. I'm still a huge fan of Dream and his travels and his family, although this collection was a little more hit-and-miss for me than the first volume. This was partly due to a couple of storylines that seemed rather disconnected, not quite filler material but just a little off somehow. There were also a couple (perhaps the same ones; I read this over the summer so the exact details are a little fuzzy)

I really enjoyed Season of Mists, where Lucifer decides he's done with Hell and moves on, leaving Sandman the key. It was clever and an overall fun read. A Game of You was my least favorite, but still interesting. It just took me so damn long to get through due to some parts that were just plain creepy.
