Guest areacode212 Report post Posted July 29, 2002 Man, I haven't read either of them in a long time, so I can't really give my opinions on them. I remember loving the first one and being disappointed with the second. Maybe soon (after this move), I'll dig up my Gaiman stuff and re-read them all.

Guest starvenger Report post Posted July 29, 2002 Off the top of my head... The first one was kinda fun. The second wasn't too bad, but didn't seem to have the same oomph to it. It may have been Bachalo's artwork, since I thought it got better towards the end with Buckingham doing the pencils. I guess I'll have to read the stuff again...

Guest J*ingus Report post Posted July 29, 2002 Personally, I think that Sandman broke Gaiman, as everything he did after that was mostly of the good-but-not-great variety. As for the Death comics, the single thing I remember most was the intro that Tori Amos wrote for one of them. Talk about frightening, someone get that woman some lithium, stat!

Well, IIRC, the first Death mini came out before Sandman was done. Just saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest areacode212 Report post Posted August 4, 2002 BTW, Death has appeared recently in Lucifer and the DC 9-11 special, in case you want to see more of her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't believe that to be true. However, Sandman is such a pinnacle of his career, it's probably what he will always be remembered for. And it was so damn good, it will be the crucible through which all of his other work is judged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
