The Sandman (1989-1996 comic) Rating: 98/100 Current Ranking: #1 Considering every comic run I've ever read, Sandman probably ranks #3 overall. It's not just the ability of Gaiman to create and inspire an entire universe that feels uniquely his, where every inch of it is consumed in what I can only describe as literary theory brought to life - it's also how every line feels ripped from fairy tale when it need be, how every scene feels like it crawled out of grainy horror if the necessity arises. The number of talented artistic mega-stars who put in a cup of coffee on this book... it's hard to imagine Gaiman didn't know exactly who he was handpicking with every issue. I hate to use the word 'iconic' to the point that it loses all meaning, but this is a seriously iconic title. There's really not an arc that goes by that doesn't present something memorable, something thought-provoking, something altogether wonderful. The fact that we're getting a Gaiman-led Sandman series on Netflix really, truly excites me. The casting for every part has been really impressive, although Death is going to be the trickiest role to pull off. But, ack! I'm getting ahead of myself. From beginning to end of Sandman, there's not a single arc that isn't entirely gripping. Hell, I'll fully admit myself a little bitch, crying like a baby at the end of the series - twice. It's just that excellent. Do yourself a favor - go read it. Go BUY it. Go buy me autographed issues. It's that good. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
