My tumble into American comics found a nice resting point. Neil Gaiman had written the Sandman decades before writing American Gods. I’m on the ninth out of 10 volumes. It’s sweet seeing common threads, themes, and characters crop up that clearly informed Gods. Sandman (protagonist is the Lord of Dreams) meanders through plots, but I’m flipping back through prior volumes even to the first seeing how far back some of them are set in motion. Nice read on the whole, the 9th is where it all comes to a head. Looking forward to the mental boom, I guess. Total side: since it was published by DC Comics, there are cameos and plot lines following heroes and villains from DC. Makes for a bit of extra fun.
