Absolute Sandman

When you approach a graphic novel, you don't expect it to be 8 1/2" x 14" and over 600 pages long, but with Absolute Sandman by Neil Gaiman, that's what you get. If you've never read any of the Sandman series, think of a darker version of Terry Pratchett. I'm currently reading volume 4 of the series which includes the stories "The Castle" from Vertigo Jam #1, "The Kindly Ones", "The Wake", "Exiles", and "The Tempest".
Having just finished "The Kindly Ones", I can say my thumbs are both up so far. The story is very captivating and the creativity of the artists keeps me asking "How did he think of that?"
