Just read first two issues of Absolute Sandman!
I can't thank DDura enough for strongly recommending this series to me. His enthusiam for this series made me anticipate this absolute volume as much as anything I've ever read.
I received my absolute yesterday through amazon and immediately started reading it. I finished the first two issues, and all I can say is, WOW! The first issue is probably one of the best single issues I have ever read and unlike anything I have ever read. The fantastic use of older dc characters (like Cain and Able and the House of Mystery/Secrets), the use of John Constantine and the JLA, wow! And that's just the first two issues.
And sam keith's art is just fantastic. I can't wait to read more. I know most of you guys probably read these, but its a great discovery for me. ANd I think DC put a lot of effort in the quality of this absolute edition.

Oh NO!!! I got this Absolute as well. I was dying to read it, but after YOUR positive review (let's not forget that you gave SAVAGE BROTHERS a positive review), I don't know anymore. I might return it now

I've got to pick this up, too. I'm a Marvel guy who doesn't know a lot about the older DC characters mentioned. Will this make a difference in my enjoyment of the book?

Not at all. Just buy and read it and you'll love it.

That's the best part. since I'm such a good employee, I got 150 in amazon.com gift cards, where I bought this and my brand new ipod shuffle!

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Maybe you should pay more attention to the threads.  We've been discussing this one since the beginning of October: Absolute Sandman
