Re-Enter Sandman: Fables & Reflections

Fables & Reflection is an odd one. While it is just a collection of short stories, the issues aren’t presented in order. Three of the issues were published before the A Game of You and “Ramadan,” issue #50, was published after the next story arc. There’s also a brief story that appeared in Vertigo Preview #1 and Sandman Special from 1991. If this seems like it’s all over the place, you’d be right.

Re-Enter Sandman: Season of Mists

I always remember Season of Mists as being better than it actually is.

It certainly has enough to recommend it. It’s ambitious in its scope and is full of big ideas. However, like a lot of Neil Gaiman’s work, it doesn’t quite wrap everything up in a satisfactory fashion. Still, though, it’s a pretty fun ride.
