CBR14 Bingo: “Adapt” – The Sandman has recently been adapted into a television series. I discovered The Sandman graphic novels in 2000 and instantly became a fan (with collectibles to show for it!).  I’m a sucker for beautiful book editions and when the “Absolute Sandman” editions were released I couldn’t resist.  What makes them ‘Absolute’?  To quote  the Amazon blurb, “The Absolute Sandman Vol. 1 collects issues #1-20 of The Sandman and features completely new coloring, approved by the author on the first 18 issues, as well […]

  It’s The Sandman! I love The Sandman. How did I end up putting a Sandman based property on my White Whale list? I guess The Dreaming ended up a bit on the White Whale side for two reasons: 1) When I read the original Sandman series about ten years ago, I binge read them over a few nights. This helped to both keep my immersion in the series and follow the plot. The original could be confusing as all hell at times. 2) I […]

The Sandman by Neil Gaiman

I bought and started this last year, but only finished it now, so in the 2021 collection it goes. Right in the beginning I’d like to say that I’ve never gotten into audiobooks, I prefer to read myself, but due to a number of circumstances (most of them powered by horniness), I’ve bought a few audiobooks last year and gave them another chance. I’m more used to radio plays and since this basically is one and it stars James McAvoy, my imaginary Scottish husband as […]

The Sandman (Audio Production) by Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman refuses to call this an audiobook. And look, he’s not half wrong, it’s more of an audio play than anything else. But for the purpose of reviews, I’m going to treat this as a book. And no matter how we characterise it, this is a bloody marvellous piece of work, and one of the most pleasantly surprising things to come out of 2020. The premise is a bit daunting when you think about it: a comic book is a very visual medium that […]

4.5 stars #CBR12 Bingo: Happy (I never thought that Sandman could be adapted into an audio story, so this made me very happy indeed) Official book description: When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus – the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination – is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three “tools” that will restore his power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has […]
