Enter Sandman

It’s no secret that Neil Gaiman is my favorite author. I recently picked up the second volume of the Absolute Sandman. I’m reading through them at night before I go to sleep. It’s interesting how much more I get out of them now that I’m older compared to when I read them in college.

A college friend introduced me to Sandman. I had no idea at the time, of course, as I was sheltered as a kid, that comics could contain such material. Like so many others, I was used to the super hero genre, and I never got into comics as a kid. Sandman changed me in ways I’m still finding it hard to express.

As I prepare for this chaotic year, I look back into Sandman as I prepare myself for the year to come.
