    <body><![CDATA[Instead of talking about this particular volume (though, I will say, the art is the best of the series), I will talk about the series as a whole. I would say that the final verdict is that it was pretty good; overrated, to be sure, because the bad far outweighed the good, in my opinion.

The first three chapters conclude the events from the previous volume and serve as a truly fitting finale to a brilliant series.

    <body><![CDATA[This is really a review of the entire Sandman series.  It took me 3 months to read these 10 graphic novels which were originally comic books.  Gaiman is one of the most creative fantasy writers out there, and he uses existing myths as bases for a lot of his work.
