This was really fun! The art style is creepy and moody. The beginning part I loved. And then it turned episodic which I was a bit disappointed with. But it was fun watching sandyman dream dude get his stuff back!

Em alguns momentos gráficos faz-me lembrar da Elektra: Assassina, com um extenso (ab)uso dos elementos de BD. Surrealismo que condiz com o mundo que pretende retratar. Mistura de técnicas gráficas. Imagens memoráveis de corpos. A mutação das personagens parece torná-las vivas e inconstantes (será um Endless inconstante?)
Lerei as seguintes histórias... Os grafismos ainda inexperientes, mas como os artistas arriscaram,, inovaram e adaptaram bem a sua arte ao argumento, ficam a ganhar.
O que eu adoro é um certo lado que parece misturar a mitologia interna daquele mundo com o nosso, através da ligação de sonho com a criação de histórias que estão embebidas na nossa matriz cultural. Como se fosse uma (re)mistificação, (re)escrita da nossa matriz... As barreiras são difíceis de distinguir, mistura referências internas com literárias com reais...

The Sandman is perhaps my favourite graphic novel series. The first collection is great, but The Sandman is still searching for its final form, its own thing. There are some weird connections with other DC Comics, like Constantine and Arkham Asylum, but Preludes & Nocturnes successfully lays the foundations for one of the most ambitious comics ever created.
