Be patient till the last.
yes, I finally did, thanks!
You did?
Well don't expect to be totally into it yet is all I will keep reiterating. It was still finding it's niche at the point we are upto now. The art is about to change and so are the stories and dynamic. It still think's it's a horror fuelled story at this point which has nothing to do with what Sandman turns into.
Issue #8 and beyond are where things heat up.
Gaiman has said himself that Preludes & Nocturnes are a mixed and unfocused bag. Still great stuff but nothing compared to the laters series. A lot of Snadman fans even dissagree starting new readers off with Preludes becuase it perhaps gives the wrong impression, I dissagee I think it's important to start at the beggining.
Just keep going with it we are very almost out of the teething pains. 24 Hours is up next and is perhaps the most horror fuelled episode of the ENTIRE thing. But soon after it (and they are all important to the grand scheme anyway) comes the good stuff.
So keep at it and share your thoughts, please!

^ does it incease the number of views if I read it while not logged in? I finally got organized and read it last week... believe I've got the gist of things now.
- the artwork's amazing in it's evocativeness - if that's a real word. OMG! really powerful - kinda sorry now I just assumed 'graphic novels' were comic books for kids all these years.

Supplements, teasers, art, and additional information!
To whet the appetite... and give just a tad more info on some of the characters so far - and upcoming.
Had to dig DEEP in the pile to rescue those.

Awesome images, Menty! I don't have that particular publication. I do have a gallery of Death images I'll post at some point. (Maybe around the time I post the Death mini-series.)
That P. Craig Russell image of Desire is gorgeous!
And for those of you not familiar - GET TO KNOW DAVE McKEAN! (He and Gaiman's new (Jim) Henson movie, Mirrormask, looks AWESOME!) Gaiman and McKean have been collaborating about as long as both of them have been working in comics and McKean is the cover artist on the entire Sandman series and produces some of the most beatiful, thought-provoking and iconic art I've ever seen. He is a mixed-media artist and definitely one of my faves.
Shit, I'd be open to a McKean supplemental art thread, too, at some point.
