Gabriella’s Reviews > The Sandman: The Deluxe Edition, Book One > Status Update

The story has become grittier again. Which was a weird turn to come up on, and we're in 1939. It feels like book 1 is coming full circle back to the beginning.
There's also a character from the show who I'm yet to encounter. Flipping ahead in the pages I'm assuming she'll appear in one of the other books

It's so good. There were moments I forgot about that happened in the show. It's fascinating seeing what the show changed or expanded upon.

A thing I noticed in both here and the show - as soon as Morpheus gets his items back, the visuals of the story become brighter; Even with the story having some dark plot lines - locking kids in basements, murder, etc

After having watched S1 of Netflix's show last year, as well as carrying around this in its shrink wrap for a year, it was so nice to open this to begin reading & seeing all of the amazing art.

It took me a moment to feel I was reading & not forcing myself, but that's more a personal issue. Though I did stumble to follow the flow here & there
I was not ready for the DC cameos coming from my knowledge of the show.
