Rendition In Pursuance Of Books The Absolute Sandman, Volume Two (The Absolute Sandman #Two)
One of the most popular and critically acclaimed comic book titles of all time, New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman's masterpiece The Sandman set new standards for mature, lyrical fantasy and graphic narrative. Now, Vertigo and DC Comics are proud to present the second of four definitive Absolute Editions collecting this groundbreaking series in its entirety. The Absolute Sandman, Volume Two reprints issues 21-39 of The Sandman and features remastered coloring prepared especially for this edition on all nineteen issues, as well as brand-new inks on The Sandman 34 by the issue's original penciller, Colleen Doran. This volume also includes two never-before-reprinted stories by Gaiman (a Desire story painted by John Bolton, and a prose Sandman story previously only available to buyers of the very first Sandman statue, released in 1991), a complete reproduction of the never-before-reprinted one-shot The Sandman: A Gallery of Dreams, and the original script and pencils by Gaiman and Kelley Jones for Chapter Two of "Season of Mists" from The Sandman 23.Declare Appertaining To Books The Absolute Sandman, Volume Two (The Absolute Sandman #Two)

As much as parts of "A Game of You" bothers me - it's obviously written by a cis person. I can deal with Wanda's identity not being totally accepted by a bunch of fallible characters (because even the gods we encounter in Sandman are fallible beings, and so we can read even the Moon not accepting her as a woman as the Moon's bias, not Gaiman saying "trans women are not women", despite the place people who we'd now call trans held in the cultures Gaiman draws on); however, when she's dead, andI read this one months ago and thought I'd already logged it on here. Not the case, apparently. I'm still a huge fan of Dream and his travels and his family, although this collection was a little more hit-and-miss for me than the first volume. This was partly due to a couple of storylines that seemed rather disconnected, not quite filler material but just a little off somehow. There were also a couple (perhaps the same ones; I read this over the summer so the exact details are a little fuzzy)
The story continues, and introduces more themes and characters. If you have this, you already have Vol. 1, so any info here is superfluous.
great characters, deep storyline
3.5 The story about hell was amazing, the rest paled a bit in comparison. The quality of this edition is still amazing, I just love looking at it.
The Sandman deserves to win many awards! Oh wait, it's already did... I had my first experience with the world of the Endless last summer. I read the first 3 volumes (in their older editions), and was drawn right in. It also placed me in perfect timing to jump right into Volume 2 of the Absolute Sandman re-printings (and boy, are these glorious). This one collects 2 main story-lines, plus a few filler stories. "Season of Mists" is one of my favorite stories in the whole saga so far, absolutely
An utterly gorgeous set. I think the Absolute Sandman publications are the best way to enjoy the series. "Season of Mists" is widely regarded as the story that put Sandman on the map in a way, although I think it is overrated. "A Game of You" is probably the best story of the entire series, which I did not understand as a 16 year old, the last time I read this series.The single-issue stories collected here - and in Paperback as "Fables and Reflections" - contain some of the series' best
