I am finally working my way through Sandman, i'm on book 6 now. I do find myself enjoying this one a little less than the others.
Is that "Fables and Reflections"? One of the collections of all the single issue stories?
Yeah, I could see reading them all at once being a little disjointed. I bought all of Sandman as it came out, one issue at a time, one month at a time, so it was a different experience. :)
I'd also suggest picking up "Sandman: The Dream Hunters", but the trick to that is there are two editions... The original is a text piece with illustrations by a Japanese artist named Yoshitaka Amano.
After that, they turned it into a proper comic book style story with art by P. Craig Russell.
it is! I am only about 20 or so pages in so far but I am feeling a bit lost. It just seems completely disjointed from what I have read so far. For a few pages I was wondering if I had somehow got the books out of order.
I mean, technically, yeah, Fables and Reflections is out of order. :)
Here's how the collections relate to the individual issues:
Preludes and Nocturnes = Sandman #1–8
The Doll's House = 9-16
Dream Country = 17-20
Season of Mists = 21–28
A Game of You = 32–37
So it's all pretty straight forward until the jump between Season of Mists and Game of You.
Where you're at now:
Fables and Reflections - #29–31, 38–40, 50; The Sandman Special #1; and Vertigo Preview No. 1
I kind of hate it when they do stuff like this. #29-31 should have been added to the end of Season of Mists. Then put 38-40 at the end of A Game of You.
Next is Brief Lives, which is 41–49, so #50 could have been easily added there.
The GOOD news is, after that, it's a straight shot to the end:
Worlds' End - 51–56
The Kindly Ones - 57–69 +Vertigo Jam No. 1
The Wake - 70–75
Sandman: Overture - 1-6.
this is incredibly helpful! thank you.
