Okay, so having read the Lucifer series and really enjoying I learned of this series, The Sandman, the story that came before Lucifer and after hearing numerous good things about it from numerous people I became really excited to read it...so now I have read the first issue...and it was amazing! Truthfully I have no idea what to compare it to, seeing as I've never read a comic like it, but basically it is a timeline in the lives of various people, yet they are not the main characters, it was just a really interesting thing in my opinion.

However, it was the ending that really got me excited, finally getting my first real look at Dream of the Endless, and I have to say already he is one of my favorite characters. I always assumed he would be more like the hero type, but the way he got his revenge on those who had kept him imprisoned for seventy years I couldn't say he's exactly the good guy, but then again I never like good guys. So yes, I would recommend this series, at times the issue can seem a little slow but if you follow through it is easily worth it.
