The Sandman: Overture | 
pickMy GOSH. The art in this volume has no business being this stunning. It is an absolute feast from start to finish. It took me longer to read the story than usual because I kept pausing to take in the art. Did you ever wonder why Morpheus was so worn out when he was trapped by Burgess? This story answers that.
My #BookSpinBingo board so far.
I'm getting The Sandman comics on Monday so it will definitely change a lot in next week.
Can't wait 😊
Enjoying my free time with this.. I'm loving it!! 💚
pickAudio fiction isn't usually my cup of tea, but this was an excellent production of Gaiman's Morpheus. The voice acting, especially James McAvoy as Morpheus, Kat Denning as Death and Taron Egerton as John Constantine. I read the comics when they first came out back in the 80s, but hearing them performed brought them new life.
5 💥💥💥💥💥 Highly recommended.
Book 2 for #JubilantJuly readathon @Andrew65
I don't usually do fiction on audiobooks, but when I saw the amazing group of people that were gathered together for this book, I had to grab it. My pre-order came today and I'm ready to dive in.
Stunning book with some great homages in it like marvels living vampire and brainiac!
Stunning book with some great homages in it like a transformer here.
Stunning book with some great homages in it like chewbacca here!
Stunning book with some great homages in it like superman Morpheus.
Did I mention how stunning these layouts are? I'm just floored by this artist's ability to make readable panels in such creative ways.
Every panel with this artist is a feast for the eyes. And I never knew I was starving.

#devilside of The Sandman. I need to reread but I remember the devil had a part. A story I loved, but have forgotten. #octoberxfiles
The cover of my Sandman Overture and today's Fortune.
pickIf I could, I would take a picture of every page to share, because every page is drawn and colored with a depth of vision and rich quality from the other side of reality... Gorgeously weird and inventively elegant. The story doesn‘t break new ground, but it fits the universe comfortably - which coming back to it something like twenty-five years later, that‘s remarkable in itself. Still Gaiman, however, and Gaiman is always worth it.
#ReadingResolutions: Some of my favorite #siblings, Dream and Death of the Endless (really all of the Endless, but especially these two). The Sandman series is seriously amazing, I firmly believe everyone should read it.
The thing about OVERTURE is, it answers questions I can't believe I never thought to ask. Like, who and where are the Endless's parents?
(In my defence, there's that little throwaway bit in I don't remember which volume where Delirium says they haven't got parents, but I probably should've known better than to take her word for it.) #comics
pickThis is gonna be THAT book.
You know the one. You've got a series you love and adore, and there's this one particular volume that means the whole frickin world to you. Only sometimes, when you reread it, it only means a sizeable portion of the world, or a few pieces.
Until you revisit it again, and it's back to being everything.
THAT book.
I'm so glad this exists. I never thought to ask for it, but it was always what I needed. #comics
LOOK AT THE BACK COVER TOO, PLEASE AND THANK YOU. #comics
I didn't let myself start it tonight because it's gonna take over my world once I do, but this? Is what I've been waiting for.
OVERTURE was my favourite book of 2015, and it's one of the few comics I HAD to own in print. Even in the pixelly digital review copy DC was kind enough to give me, the art BLEW. MY. MIND. It's gonna be intense in a more effective format.
And I mean, look at the cover under the dust jacket! LOOK AT IT! #comics
I couldn't resist the 10 Years, 10 Books Challenge (which actually covers 11 years & books), so I figured I'd do it early and eliminate the temptation.

Love this image from Sandman Overture. The whole book is a piece of art, page after page.
We meet Dream's brothers and sisters in The Sandman, but in this prequel story we meet his parents, Night and Time. #BooksAboutMothers
Happy Mother's Day to all that meet the definition of mother in any way, and all my love to my wife who is the best mother I know.

My necklace for my Comic-Con London costume has arrived! Any guesses on which character I'm dressing up as? 😝😝🖤🖤
When showing a #favoritecover I have to look at my graphic novel collection! #riotgrams #day20 #sandman #graphicnovels #comicbooks
Two days left on my long vacation, and I'm diving into this visual treat by Neil Gaiman and his wonderful illustrators pulled from the shelves of my local library.

pickPhotoadaynov16 Favorite Neil Gaiman - While I've only been reading comics regularly for about two years, this was my first foray into the Sandman world and it blew me away. While the story is great, what really got me was J.H. Williams III's art. He made me really rethink the possibilities of comic book art. It added multiple dimensions to Gaiman's story and it is worth the read. @RealLifeReading the

Didn't I talk about having to curb my book buying addiction only yesterday? Yeah, well, good intentions and all that ... it didn't work and I just ordered the 'Sandman' slipcase set. 🙄😬😊
"I didn't mean to pick it up I swear! It just jumped into my hands..." conversations with myself every time I go into a book store. I was only planning on getting stationery. But look how gorgeous this issss and it said deluxe edition, I'm a sucker for a deluxe ;)
pickI savored this book over the course of the afternoon. The art is amazing! I'm not even sure amazing is an adequate adjective for the artwork in this comic. I enjoyed the story just as much as the art and I'm glad I got to visit this world again.
