"Yeah, I agree about the art and covers. I thought the storytelling was flawed, as I said in the review. But I liked it enough to read the next collection. Like the Books of Magic collection a lot (don't know if you read that review, or if…"

"After reading 5 or so issues of this series, I've determined I'm just not a fan of the Sandman universe. I sampled the main series a few times. I stuck with the original Lucifer series for 50(!) issues, and then this. It just never clicked…"
"I had always intended to read the comics, so I read the first Omnibus before watching the series. I completely agree that the series improves on the comic: it's not as outrageous, but the characterization is much deeper. Homelander is…"

"I need to re-read this series, too. I've read the whole thing, but I was collecting the issues from bargain bins and read some of the arcs out of order."
"I haven't seen the movie, but it's a good point. Of course the whole YouTube thing is a mixed blessing at best. Musicians can get exposure from it--not everyone, of course--but it doesn't automatically translate into income. But…"
"Over the weekend I got myself ready for the finale of The Walking Dead comic series by catching up on the three latest collections: Vol. 29-31. I'll be writing a Catching Up blog entry. Still enjoyable, and I feel like knowing the end is near…"

"I've had it in both eyes. I agree about colors, although it wasn't as dramatic for me. The big thing was all the fuzziness and halos around lights at night that I had just gotten used to. My left eye (the first one that was done) got so…"
"I just re-watched the Director's Cut (after re-reading Watchmen for book club), and it comes pretty close to the length of 12 episodes. Restores important scenes left out of the theatrical version.
As for Sandman, I'm agnostic. A lot of it…"
