I tried to continue with the series but I realized that each volume is basically the same story but with a different killer. I'm ok with stopping at this volume and not finishing it. I understand the origin of The Sandman and that's cool. But I can't keep reading the same story over and over again. Life is too short.

I liked this volume much better than the second one. In this one, there is a female serial killer targeting and killing men in extreme and weird ways. Once again, Wesley a.k.a. the Sandman is on the job to find out who the killer is and bring them to justice. This time I figured out the killer pretty early on but it was still a great story. Good graphics. The only thing is that Dian is getting a wee bit annoying in this one and I hope she calms down in the next volume.

Not as good as the first volume but I will continue on with the series. Two stories in this one. One called the Face where the bad buy can alter his appearance and the second one is called the Brute. My favorite of the two was the Brute. Good graphics. The reason why I took a half star off was due to the extreme amount of racism, especially in the first story. I get it that happened a lot in the past but it was a little too much for me to enjoy the story.
