The Sandman: Overture

I wasn't sure what to expect, what I would get, what this would look like.

To quote Belloc, ‘It's beauuuutifuuuuul!'

The art is quite possibly the most beautiful of all the Sandman art, with the exception of the art of Amano-sensei in Dreamhunters. I cannot begin to elucidate on how gorgeous this is.

And there are self-aware jokes about what a dip Dream is.

And I was excited to learn about Alianora and see new characters and learn about how Dream was so weakened he was easily captured by that Crowley wanna-be.

This wasn't a necessary piece, but I'm glad Neil decided to do it, because it is gorgeous; it's a lovely piece to add to one's Sandman collection. It's probably my favorite volume other than the original series itself.

And I realized something. I always loved Dream best. Everyone loves Death. Especially when you're young, but...Call me crazy.

I think I finally realized I like Desire best.
