Paul-sempai and I have been bonding with Neil Gaiman's graphic novel The Sandman. It's a brisk and exciting eleven volumes of 75-chaptered magnificent stories on different mythologies and folklores, focusing on The Endless siblings who do not die like gods and will be around until the universe and every creature in it is gone.

Hahaha, yeah, it's a good thing you did so you'll get to experience its full beauty once you read the graphic novels themselves.

DC Comics took a huge leap for these series (and Neil Gaiman's concept). It is said that The Sandman stories are a refreshing change from the usual superhero comic books out there. Not to mention it is very intellectual and makes use of a lot of mythologies and philosophical allegories all throughout (well, The Endless are personifications of human thought and feelings and Gaiman played out the belief that humanity are "God-creators"). Hope you enjoy it!!
