What can I say other than this is a jewel. A wonderful story told by a master of this genre and a master of storytelling period. I'm delighted to have had the opportunity to enjoy Overture but pained that the Sandman must end again as quickly as it started again. Oh, and the art is pure mastery as well.

If I'm being perfectly honest, the story on its own was not quite five stars for me. It was ambitious and grand and I loved it, but it either needed more space or less plot because it felt a bit rushed at times. I wish I'd gotten to know Hope better, at least.

The art, though. It's trippy and intricate, and I could stare at those pages for hours, and they fill me to bursting with wonder like every Sandman story does.

Wow, this is trippy even by Sandman standards! I wonder why it took me so long to finally get around to reading it. A beautiful story, told in even more beautiful art.

Fantastic pencils, coloring, lettering, covers, and writing. I won't add more, since the other reviews do a better job.
