I somehow skipped over this one when I started rereading the series earlier this year, so I grabbed it off the shelf out of order. It has several of the issues that feature in season one of the Netflix adaptation, so it was actually quite fresh in my mind. #scarathlon #skeletoncrew @Emilymdxn

Quick July update: didn't finish a lot of books but was able to read the tagged book (my July #BookSpin) and MARS Vol. 7 (a #Roll100 July pick) and also get a #BookSpinBingo.

Here is my August list as well.

This was a good read today. I love the artwork and love the change in pace. Also, the kitty nightmare story was just adorable :)

#NotAnotherGraphicMonday

Oh those writers :)

Figured I needed to read a graphic novel today to help me relax a bit. #NotAnotherGraphicMonday

I think what I like most about Morpheus is that Gaiman avoids the temptation of making his main character this great guy. He‘s kind of an ass, he‘s stubborn, has a temper, but he also cares in his own way. Morpheus is truly a complex character. While these stories aren‘t central to the plot, they do give us important background information to the Endless, to this world that they inhabit.

Four stories. All of them features one of the Endless. In all of them dreaming and power is important.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love a dream of a thousand cats so much lol

This was an enjoyable read. My favorite two stories were “A Dream of a Thousand Cats“ and “Facade“. The “Midsummer's Night Dream“ did seem to drag a little longer than I liked but still a good story. Artwork is fantastic in the book. All the stories were well written.

This volume doesn't have much continuity between the different stories, but I still found it beguiling for the most part. Two of it I really liked because of how offbeat they were: precisely the kind of bizarre stuff that takes hold of your imagination. One of it involved a cat entering the Dreaming, the other is about Shakespeare & his troupe's first performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Morpheus shows up, in his usual way, in each story.

A Book That #BeginsWith #Dream Day 1. Back when I collected all the Sandman titles via Amazon while also book hunting in the US: https://wp.me/pDlzr-93h

I remember this being my favorite of the Sandman books, though I‘m not sure it is anymore! I really enjoy the Calliope script at the end, though I noticed several places where Gaiman‘s descriptions are deviated from in the art to make it more sexual (note: TW for rape)—which is pretty disappointing.

Started the day off with another graphic novel. I love The Sandman! #Scarathlon #TeamHendrix #Screamathon #Wickedathon #SpookOWeen #ReadWithUs #20in4 #Halloween

Bk2 of #24in48 #readathon is done! A quick GN, this series is one of the strangest I‘ve ever read. And I‘ve read a lot of Stephen King! It‘s about Orpheus the God of The Dream(who looks exactly like Robert Smith from The Cure)and his sojourns amongst his realm & the humans. It‘s full of freaky people, monsters & what looks like LSD fuelled imagery. I loved it but it‘s not for everyone. Don‘t say I didn‘t warn you! It‘s also a #BookspinBingo👇👇

As I understand this issue serves as an interlude between what we know of The Sandman and what's to come.

And let me tell you; I absolutely can not wait to see where we're going next!

I loved that this edition also have a "how to write a comic" part. Where the script for CALLIOPE is given with notes from both Neil and Kelly. It opens one's eyes to the time and details that goes into creating a piece of art.

I wanted to finish Dream Country before calling it a day, but I'm falling asleep.

All-in-all it wasn't a bad reading day 16h28m. I was aiming for 20hours because I know tomorrow is going to be busy. Hopefully I'll be able to read a bit tomorrow night and see if I can get my total up to 20h

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙫𝙤𝙡. 4: 𝘿𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙮 consists of 4 short stories...I didn‘t like any of the them. 👎🏽 The first story turned me off, the second story was dumb, the third story was eh and I can‘t remember what the 4th was about because by then I was bored to tears. Aside from Death and Dream, none of the characters from the previous volumes were featured.
⭐️/5

One of my favorites since it features the Shakespeare issue.

Again, gorgeously illustrated. The first three stories (one about an enslaved Muse, one about cats trying to take back the world through dreams, and one about the first performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream) were interesting, but I didn't really get the fourth story about immortality as a gift or curse from Ra. I didn't read the script and instructions to the illustrators for the first story, which was included as a bonus.

The Long Man of Wilmington seems to be lacking something

Expect to see a lot more reviews for all the “Sandman” books popping up on my feed, as my husband got me the entire collection for Christmas. This one was my favorite so far. I especially liked the stories about the Muse, Calliope, and of course the one about the cats.

Christmas bookhaul 2. I may have got a bit carried away this year

I want to read this book!

#ManicMonday time again! @JoScho

1. Sandman. You can't have dream without him.
2. Dreamscape. Classic bad 80s sci-fi.
3. A Nightmare to Remember by Dream Theater. One of my all time favorite bands. Some of the best guitar and drum work that you will ever hear.

I'm at 19 hours now, and so can technically reach #24in48 if I read non-stop until the end of the readathon - which is 5 am for me. This is a doubtful scenario, but I'll at least read some Sandman and contemplate starting another book. It's only just midnight.

@24in48

I love this graphic novel series! Just can‘t get enough of the world and Morpheus. Though the stories in this volume doesn‘t do much to further the narrative of the first two volumes. We do get to see how Morpheus has impacted the world through the ages and all the guises he uses. Only one story confused me but it included Death who I also love so I was fine with it 😁

My brother gifted me the next sandman in the series😊 it has lots of cats, Shakespeare, death and includes the script of the first part - entertaining read as always 4/5⭐️

Not my favourite in the Sandman series - I know it intentionally does not slide in to the ongoing story arc of the series which probably contributed to my lowered enjoyment of it

So far of the Sandman editions this one was my least favourite. But still love the art.

Some of the most famous fairies of all time.

"I would like to see anyone, prophet, king or god, convince a thousand cats to do the same thing at the same time." ?????

Or persuade any cat to do anything, at any time--especially when you want them to do it. ?

I still really enjoy this series. This volume contains 4 standalone stories. My least favorite of the bunch was the Midsummer's Nights Dream. I am not that fond of Shakespeare, so I think that prejudiced me. The cat episode was cute, and thought provoking for me. I plan on continuing with this series and am excited to move on to book 4.

#heartsandhardcovers #dreams

I've read and I own a few Gaiman titles but I've yet to read any of the Sandman series. I must rectify this soon.

I‘ve been reading my way through the Sandman collected volumes. It‘s a series that‘s been on my TBR list for ages, because I‘ve heard excellent things about Neil Gaiman, and Sandman, for the innovations and recognition it brought to the comics industry.

I must say, I haven‘t been enjoying it as much as I‘d expected. This may be because all th... #summerreading #backlistupdates

I loved this scene / entire issue from The Sandman.

I'm new and this is my first challenge, so please let me know if I've done this wrong. 😅

Favorite story in this volume so far

A collection of 4 short stories, I am starting to get drawn in. Looking forward to Volume 4!

My plans for the day. Very happy.

I always think of this as my least favourite volume, but I'm not sure that's actually true. I love all four stories--"Façade" might be my favourite, despite what I told @TobeyTheScavengerMonk the other day--and I appreciate how these seemingly standalone pieces slot into the wider narrative. Three of them directly foreshadow major plot points, and I ain't convinced the fourth is as discrete as it appears. This is good, subtle stuff. #comics

In one of the SEX CRIMINALS trades, Fraction & Zdarsky moan about how the DREAM COUNTRY back matter is a script to one of the stories they JUST READ, and what the hell? I felt vindicated, because I've skipped the script during every reread for that exact reason.

Comic scripts for familiar material are kinda fun when you've never seen one before. After that... well. #comics
