Despite Second Tier Art, Gaiman Delivers
A review of Ultimate Sandman Volume Four
By Michael DeMeritt
This is the penultimate of graphic art story telling, otherwise know as comic books. Neil Gaiman's Sandman stories are by the far the greatest fantastical setting tied to a modern world with real problems written in comic book form. Volumes 1, 2 and 3 are superior to volume 4 only because the art is significantly better. The last issues of Sandman decided to take an ugly, if not boring, turn artistically. The result separates the reader from the characters they have come to love and fear. It is unfortunate the overly cartoon style was incorporated in the final story run of an otherwise fantastic series, but the story to be told is just as powerful as those that came before it. So well written, in fact, you simply look at the so-so art for reference and allow yourself to get lost in the story. Despite the distracting drawings. Ironically, the latter effort becomes more short story than any of the prior works because the art has so little impact on the tale. Unlike most of the earlier Sandman efforts, it can simply be read aloud, with little descriptive moments, and have pretty much the same impact as if you never looked at the pages at all. A great read.
