I just finished the Sandman series...The Wake was fantastic. I think the best story of all of them was Rhamadan (sp?). Awesome. It's the one where a sultan asks Morpheus to make Baghdad a city of dreams. Think it was in the Fables and Reflections TPB. Great, great story. Did you read Endless Nights? I've heard some not good things about it, and I don't want to ruin my Sandman experience by reading it.


Ahhh yes, Ramadan... issue #50. Great, great tale.

Endless Nights was a good read but far from the best out there. It feels more like it should have been backup features in the main Sandman book rather than its own mini-series. But if you've enjoyed what you've read so far than by all means give it a go. A couple of the tales are 'meh' but others are gems. Plus it gave Gaiman a chance to work with some artists he liked but that he didn't see doing a full story arc. (Gaiman always hand-picked his artists rather than having them assigned to the book by DC, or so the story goes.)
