I don’t even know what to rate this.
The beginning was ok and the last comic was ok. But what the actual fuck was John Dee and the diner scene. The funeral home confession was completely unnecessary and gross. 
Off to watch the Netflix adaptation.

Never read Gaiman’s comics, but it’s an interesting start to the series.
I started the series after finishing this volume and read the second while watching it. The pacing of the comic feels a little rushed and there are some changes in the show that I prefer over book version, but I still really like this comic.
Spoilers for the comic and the series:

The battle between Dream and Lucifer in the series instead of Choronzon is more dramatic. Doctor Destiny's motivation in the show gives him a little more depth than just being a villain.
Though I missed the Etrigan cameo in the show, separating the story from the larger DC world works better for the story, though there's still a gender-bent Constantine. It's trippy to think about The Sandman and Doom Patrol series being part of the same world.
