How good is the Sandman?

How good is the Sandman?

And maybe that's what makes Sandman great. It's just a wonderfully told imaginative saga about absolutely everything. The characters are deep and you come to care for them, the ideas presented are big but comprehensible, and it's really just an absolute masterwork not just of comics, but of all storytelling ever.

Why is Sandman great?

He is a hero for the masses and inspires his fans. He involves fans while promoting his films, interacts with them and that's what makes him one of the most wanted Khans. People can connect to him and his style and his attitude has charmed everyone.

Is Sandman violent?

Figuratively and literally dark, because The Sandman began its life as a horror comic. Several characters in one early chapter, for example, meet their ends in a graphically violent -- and, for my money, depressing and ugly -- manner that's just as unsettling today as it was back then.

Is The Sandman appropriate for teens?

It depends on the 13 year old. If Sandman were a movie, it would be Rated R. There are scenes of graphic violence and some disturbing imagery and ideas. There's probably some sexual content as well, but that doesn't concern me as much as the violence.
