Perfect

This was a trip I didn't see coming. The art is gorgeous, the story compelling, and the setting wonderful. I am hooked.

Gaiman's concoction of a humble and brooding Lord of Dreams as the protagonist is writen so intelligently. The characters he comes across are interesting, and all this with the narrative pacing set just right.
