The story and the writing is incredible, but being new with comics, what struck me most were his manipulations of the sketches and drawings.
The stories tell us about the 7 Endless — Destiny, Death, Dream, Despair, Desire, Delight (sadly, we are told about her changed form — Delirium), and Destruction. The Sandman, is Dream — Morpheus.
5/5 Stars (%100/100)
WOW! What a journey! I loved every second of it. It is almost 11 hours long (which is pretty long for audiobooks as far as I've seen) but it is definitely worth it. This is my first audiobook ever and I am glad I started with one of my favourite writers of all time with a great work of art. I was familiar with The Sandman more or less and I even had the chance to read the comics while listening to this. (Only to compare and see how accurate it is) It is almost %100 accurate to the original material and I really liked how they changed some things (for the better). Here are some things about the audiobook I liked:
-Neil Gaiman himself as the narrator. I've always loved his voice and listening to him. He was great as God in one of the episodes of Lucifer. Since he is the author you feel closer to the book as well.
-James McAvoy as Morpheus and other voice actors. McAvoy totally nailed it as Dream and I also loved the other actors. Now, whenever I read The Sandman, I'll hear them.
-The fact that they covered the first three issues. The first three issues are really important regarding Dream's story and they are still my favourite to this day. I especially love the first volume in which Dream tries to get back his possessions. (I hope they will continue releasing other issues as well)
In general, I really really liked it and definitely recommend it to everyone. I was hesitant because it is a graphic novel (the pictures are very important) but it works great without the pictures. I'll wait for the next one. This was a great journey!
The Sandman Dream held in captivity for 70 years; manages to escape with the change of management and belief system.
However, he is powerless due to the stealing of the tools he made with his own soul essence. In order to regain its former form, it is necessary to pursue the helmet, pouch and ruby. This journey him; John Costantine will pit the lords of Hell, led by the coalition, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Azazel, and John Dee, a long-time prisoner at Arkham Hospital, who bring out the darkness within people and bring nightmares to reality.
