Title: Ah... Yesssssss, My preciousssssssssssss....

This just arrived and I'm bursting my sides of happiness now...

Make this a Sandman thread because "The Sandman" is probably the only good thing left of DC/Vertigo and also because this forum is too full of japfag kekekekeke.

I read the first tradepaper back and loved it. Obviously Neil Gaiman is like the greatest writer ever. I'd collect the singles if I wasn't born so late.

I kinda disagree with the lack of good comics from DC/Vertigo. Theres plenty of good modern stuff. Scalped, American Virgin, etc etc.

Maybe I'll take some recommendations later on, then... I don't think I have seen any good stuff lately.

They reworked the colors and the art looks like five times better from what I've seen. I haven't actually bought it yet, but Gaiman was showing off scans comparing the two on his blog.

I mean the originals are great for bragging rights/nostalgia/whatever, but it looks like Absolute Sandman is going to be the better experience.

It's not really the originals, though. The originals were each 25-page issue...
Also, Absolute sandman is A LOT MORE expensive and I didn't think it would be really worth it (This was about $10 per issue, Absolute Sandman is $50 per) also I think Absolute Sandman isn't completely out yet.

Edit: I forgot to add that since I live in South america, the shipping is pretty expensive.
