Welcome to Litsy!

"We do what we must, Lucien. Sometimes we can choose the path we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all." The thrusts one wasn‘t my favorite. But it really came back with 4.

I love Neil Gaiman :) this is such a great series ! #NotAnotherGraphicMonday

Started this one today while watching the ProBowl #NotAnotherGraphicMonday

Gaiman has this gift. He takes a story that is head canon, widely known and accepted and he says, “Okay, but ✨WHAT IF✨” It‘s absolute magic. What if Lucifer said, “Nah, fam, this ain‘t the vibe for me,” and QUIT. Sure, he‘s trying to stick it to Morpheus, but also…he has a point. To use an inhuman vehicle to say something about humanity? Gorgeous.

Season of Mists is all about otherworldly politics, but we also get a hint of Dream beginning to become a more compassionate being.

This was the only one I didn‘t own for some reason, so I bought a used library copy and now I‘m wishing I had them all in the hardcovers in this edition. The paper it‘s printed on is sublime!

I'm working my way through The Sandman comics, and I just so happen to be on volume 4, which is perfect for today's #OminousOctober prompt. #Orange

In the 4th installment, Lucifer leaves Hell and gives Dream the key. Dream has to figure who to give the key to... there are a lot of candidates! As usual, excellent story and even the creepy story about Charles Rowland. Graphics were okay but the story makes up for the meh illustrations.

10.000 yrs ago, the Sandman sent a woman to hell for all eternity. Now, he think that he might have acted wrong and decides to free her from hell. And that is not as easy as he thought it would be.

2nd book #SuperSeptember

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love this series of comics so much more than I thought I would. Time to spend the next four weeks thinking about this story

Ah… such a fitting ending.

Gosh I love the art in this first part.

For some reason Litsy thinks this is the same book as Season of Mists. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great, as always. Love the decision to torture someone by giving them something that everyone wants and they don‘t. Also, love Nuala and Princess Jemmy.

I was super excited to find this at my local library. I listened to act 1 a bit ago and it was nice to not have to wait long for act 2. I do love me some Neil Gaiman.

I think this was the best one so far. The art in the last chapter wasn‘t good (too wispy), but the story was the most cohesive and interesting to me. It also had less disturbing images. It was more about the Endless and gods and angels than about disturbed mortals.

I finished The Sandman. I'm a little sad it's over. It's a hard act to follow.

This one was a bit dull to me.
I was expecting this massive blow-up, but got the exact opposite. There's all this tension created that comes to a very unsatisfying conclusion.

It felt like one Issue was created for the tension build-up and the next Issue just brought it all to a chasing unsatisfied halt.

I've managed 3 #BookSpinBingo for September!

I must say thanks to #BookSpin I'm reading way, way more than usual.

Thanks @TheAromaofBooks

And I'm off to bed ...
Have an early start tomorrow, so however badly I want to continue reading I have to *adult* now.

I knew I wouldn't make it to 24 hours, so I'm very pleased with my 19h16m
I do have to confess that a lot of time went to just staring at the art. ☺️

Thanks @Andrew65 @jb72 @SumisBooks this #24B4Monday was fun!

This volume follows Death as ventures to Hell to redeem himself. Thousands of years ago he sentenced a mortal woman to Hell after she rejected his proposal. I liked but didn‘t love this volume.
🌟🌟🌟/5

Difficult times call for returning to favourite books. I‘m kind of cycling in and out of finding lockdown awful and being ‘it is what it is‘ philosophical about it. Right now it‘s feeling difficult, I had a video catch up with my head of department and it made me remember how much I love and miss my job 😫 I read sandman first when I was about 18 and I was so obsessed with it I‘m racing through them all again now

#Hell

All of Neil Gaiman's Sandman books are extraordinary. This one stood out the most to me because of it's definitions of heaven and hell. Gaiman really paints a tale with Lucifer here, as well as Angel's and their real roles. The Angel's lines at the end are truly the best, and I can't wait to finally finish a series I have had on my bucket list for so long!

On to read another one!

And here we have book # 4 for #24b4Monday. This was my favorite Sandman yet, as the plot really started to kick off! Loooved the “episode” that took place at the boys‘ school, and also there were some “guest” appearances from the Norse & Egyptian gods!

Sandman series complete! Particularly enjoyed the epilogue in this volume featuring William Shakespeare writing The Tempest.

Sandman‘s Season of Mists arc revolves around the Key to Hell which Lucifer hands over to Dream so he can go run a nightclub in L.A. (yep, that Lucifer TV show is based on Sandman and its Lucifer spin-off comic).

Dream doesn‘t want it, but he can‘t let it fall into the wrong hands either.

#RingOfKeys #MusicalNewYear

Everyone loves balloons.

Once more....with feeling!

Another strong edition to the Sandman series. Great illustrations and story. Fun versions of Thor, Loki and Lucifer. On to Vol 5!

Graphic novel binge post #1.
Sandman was great as always. Gaiman was really on point by volume 4.
Predator held up better than expected. If they would have followed these storylines, the movie sequels would have been so much better.
Lady Mechanika was really good. The art was fantastic!
Turok was a great reboot of the franchise.
The Wonder Woman Conan series was SO MUCH BETTER than it should have been! I was pleasantly surprised by this.

#riotgrams 19. Favorite Comic Animal - It has been too long since I've read the Sandman comics, but I remember really liking the raven Matthew. I'll like do a reread in the fall, since I've been holding back on reading the Overture.

Morpheus travels to Hell to rescue a woman he condemned there thousands of years ago. He finds that the devil has decided to leave hell, and he leaves the key to hell with Morpheus. The rest of the book is a bunch of entities trying to get the key from Morpheus. Pretty good story line and some interesting new characters.

In Season of Mists (Sandman) when Lucifer gives Morpheus the key to Hell...

So excited to start this! The interaction with the family members is what intrigued me when I first learned about this series!

Can‘t see the prompt #desire without thinking of Desire, Neil Gaiman‘s anthropomorphic manifestation and sister/brother of Dream of the Endless.

This is his (or her) introduction from Season of Mists: A Prologue.

#NuYear

And there was a time when THIS was my favourite volume. We meet the rest of the active Endless, we wallow in mythology, and we literally go to Hell. It's great.

It's also the book I bought with the Chapters gc my aunt & uncle gave me for my 18th birthday, and I learned stuff about myself while I read it. So there's that, too. #comics

And now, SEASON OF MISTS. I hope I can finish it before I leave for lunch. #comics #dogsoflitsy

This quote by Hob Gadling was my very first thought when seeing #LostLoves for #JubilantJuly

#GaimanGang

I can't think of #fallenangel without thinking of the newly retired Lucifer lounging on the beach and begrudgingly complimenting God on his sunsets. #characters2017

A lazy start to my Sunday morning just so that I could finish this. A wonderful series. I especially liked the end chapter with Shakespeare. It explains a lot 😉

I need to know how it ends now!!! And happily enough, Neil Gaiman is on the radio right now (BBC6 Music in the U.K. - but I imagine you could listen on the internet!).
