The Sandman
passthebottle:
I actually just picked up Vol. 4 yesterday (had just noticed it was the only one i was missing). Deliruim's my fave, but maybe that's just cause she always looks like a little punk rock girl. ^^
If Death's you're fav you should check out her books. She's got two TPB's of her own (already mentioned..whoops!) and Jill Thompson drew a manga typs comic about her which deals with the story in Vol.4.
I've been dying to get my hands on Mr.Punch. I've got "The Day I Traded My Dad for a Goldfish", though.
And I agree with mosfet's wife. He's a cutie.

All I have is the first volume of the series. I picked it up mostly based off Sam Keith drawing a tiny bit of the first part before I knew about Gaiman.

I am a monstrous Sandman fan. It's basically the book that broke me out of the superhero trap and made me start reading the comics that are realllly good. Without a doubt one of the best things ever done in the graphic medium.

ok. i saw that movie a few weeks ago, and i was pleasantly suprised. i thought it was gonna be like.. i dunno.. those teen movies with freddie prinze jr.
but seriously.. is there an ending to that sentence or are you supposed to make you're own conclusion as to whathe's thinking about?

It's generally agreed that the first volume is not the best in the series, more because Neil hadn't found the balance for the series yet than anything else (in one issue, he used superheroes in their superhero capacity - very strange). I loved Sam's art, though, as it established that it the story's weren't going to be the usual superhero hack-n-slash. Still, his choice to leave helped start the regular change in artists for stand-alone issues and each story arc, so I can't complain too much.
The consensus seems to be that the fourth volume, where Lucifer gives Dream the key to hell, is among the best for hooking the general reader on the series. I started with the first myself, but the need to buy the next volume snowballed with each one I bought.
