![]() Gaiman and the miraculous team of artists behind Sandman bring a colorful cast to life and make them feel real, even as these characters portray the most cookie-cutter archetypes or undergo the most fantastical transformations. ![]() Among them: a painfully “normal” couple named Barbie and Ken two sisters (lovers? mother-daughter?) who speak in vague platitudes and wear white veils Hal, the landlord, who moonlights as a drag queen named Dolly and Gilbert, a jolly old monocle-wearing fellow. Rose encounters an offputting cast of roommates in Florida each housemate has his or her own quirks, and together they’re a remarkable collection of oddities. The primary story arc of The Doll’s House focuses on Rose, and it exceeds even the dreamy heights of Preludes & Nocturnes. The resulting story resounds with dreamlike horrors, wonders, and devastation. After a mysterious benefactor flies Rose and her mother Miranda out to England, they both discover their lives are tied to happenings they can barely understand. The Doll’s House follows Rose Walker, a 21-year-old woman caught in the web of muddled dreams left by Morpheus’ long imprisonment in volume one. To marvelous effect, The Doll’s House intertwines a litany of narratives, forming an addictive collection of graphic tales that you shouldn’t miss. Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series once again impresses and delights in volume two, grounding the ongoing story of Morpheus and his macabre cadre in the goings-on of our own world. ![]() ![]() Welcome back to the land of dreams, ruled by the aloof and mysterious Morpheus. ![]()
