Love me some Sandman by Neil Gaiman for me. My crush for Morpheus seems to grow. I think something might be wrong with me.

Synopsis: Fables & Reflections (1993) is the sixth collection of issues in the DC Comics series, The Sandman. It was written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Bryan Talbot, Stan Woch, P. Craig Russell, Shawn McManus, John Watkiss, Jill Thompson, Duncan Eagleson, Kent Williams, Mark Buckingham, Vince Locke and Dick Giordano, coloured by Danny Vozzo and Lovern Kindzierski/Digital Chameleon, and lettered by Todd Klein. The introduction is written by Gene Wolfe.
The issues in the collection first appeared in 1991, 1992 and 1993. The collection first appeared in paperback and hardback in 1993.
The book contains four tales under the banner of "Distant Mirrors", containing Issue #29 "Thermidor", #30 "August", #31 "Three Septembers and a January" and #50 "Ramadan". Three of the issues making up the "Distant Mirrors" group were published between the "Season of Mists" and "A Game of You" story arcs. The last, "Ramadan", was written contemporaneously, but because of art delays DC published it as Issue #50, after the "Brief Lives" arc.
Three other issues appearing in Fables & Reflections, published as the Convergence story "arc", are also single-issue short stories. "Convergence" appeared between the "A Game of You" and "Brief Lives" story arcs. It contains Issues #38 "The Hunt", #39 "Soft Places" and #40 "The Parliament of Rooks".
The collection also includes the Sandman Special "The Song of Orpheus", retelling the Greek myth of Orpheus, and a brief piece from a Vertigo promotional comic.

My Review:
 The Sandman, Vol. 6: Fables and Reflections by Neil GaimanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars 5 Platypires for The Sandman Vol. 6 By Neil Gaiman “Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.” Oh Neil Gaiman, you have a way with words that make my knees weak. *sigh Morpheus is back in this volume with a bang compared to the previous one. Freaking amazing and I think this might be one of my favorite editions. This time around we see Dream throughout pivotal moments in history and the writing was top notch. Each short story were completely different but were great in each way. Like all the previous novels the artwork was fantastic. I always like it when Dream's sibling especially Death make an appearance. Its always good to see Dream ruffled and unnerved. I actually wouldn't mind to learn more about them. Highly recommend The Sandman to all horror fans. View all my reviews |
