I was initially concerned about the decision to cover Sandman here, as… well… what HASN'T been said about the series already?  But you guys have been doing fantastic work, and I'm thrilling to revisit the series in full for the first time in almost 10 years.

I think you can still be a fan of Gaiman.  Nobody's perfect, and it's so easy to stereotype things you don't understand and have little experience with.  If nothing else, there are perilously few trans-characters gracing comics, even 25 years later.  Gaiman may have botched it - and may have revealed some prejudices…

The Dark line is… decent.  It at least has some of the ambition the other lines lack.  There were some seriously flawed books - Swamp Thing, Milligan's JLD - and some books that were just okay - Lemire's JLD, Lemire's Frankenstein.
