Post #4: Sandman vol. 1 by Neil Gaiman

When reading the actually comic of the Sandman, it was a bit confusing to understand. There is alot of details in the comic, that are stated directly. It is the kind of comic that involes more thinking and critcally lenses versus other comics I have read previously. Comics are usually easy to read, and have more comedy to it then the one of the Sandman. The Sandman comic didnt have much comedy at all, it was more on the werid/out of the ordinary side. Alot of comics flow easily, and get striaght to the point. However, Gaiman took some time to get to the point of story, and why certain events were happening. For example, the scene of discovering why people were experiencing decades worth of just sleeping. I had the idea of it being connected to the beginging when the cermoney for the "death" had failed, but it wasnt clear till the ending. Overall, the time taken to get to the resolution of the story, made the comic more interesting to read, & keep my attention. Reading the second text by Ally Bribsin and Paul Booth, defiantly cleared some unclear thoughts on the comic. It also answered some of my questions of popularity of the comic.
