Welcome to Litsy!

29/150 I'm not sure how I missed this when it was first released, but I'm glad I've read it now. Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell together make magic in this beautiful Japanese story of a fox who falls in love with a Monk, and what she will do to save his life. The story is beautiful but heart wrenching, destined for tragedy. The artwork by Russell is amazing, I could see panels of this framed on people's wall as art. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Definitely my favourite of the series so far. It wouldn't be a Sandman book if the stories weren't tinged with sadness, darkness, the gruesome, but Delirium's colourful presence in a large story arc, and the somewhat lighter tone of many of the surrounding tales makes it easier to fully immerse myself in the marvelous variety of Gaiman's prodigious imagination, backed by stellar artists.

Dream can be such a grump! 😠🙎🏼‍♂️😂

Yeah, I think this is my favourite volume. 😂

I suppose if fear of heights wasn't an issue, and I knew the dragon wasn't inclined to eat me, dangling from its mouth provoke a "wheeee!" ?

Eeeeee! It's teeny tiny Dream and Death. I did not expect this story to be this adorable. 😍

The baby gargoyle named Goldie goes "meep".
The CUUUUUTE! I can't. ??

I love how the interstitials in graphic novels are often freed from relating directly to the preceding or succeeding story, you get such amazing art from that more open creative space. Especially in the Sandman books.

"We do what we must, Lucien. Sometimes we can choose the path we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all." The thrusts one wasn‘t my favorite. But it really came back with 4.

I was (finally) drawn into this series by the netflix adaptation. Death is such a fantastic character in both mediums, so how can this not be the best thing I read in Feb?
