Re: Are you a troll?

Nah, I'm quick to call troll usually, but it's a fairly legit opinion, and I say that as a big Gaiman and Sandman fan. There's a lot in Sandman that feels a little...teenagery, for reasons people have mentioned up-thread (biggest one: at the time it was written, mainstream comics didn't have "adult" storylines, so this was really pushing the envelope, not only in graphic content, but in story, since the primary comic target audience of the time was still, in fact, teenagers). I gotta admit, I read it as a teenager, and sometimes I think if I'd read it as an adult, after a lot of my own worldview had formed, maybe it wouldn't have resonated with me as much.

So I think it's reasonably legit to hear everyone talking about how Sandman is THE comic that got them into comics, and how it's so groundbreaking and amazing, but to read it now, in 2014, instead of 1990, and be a little underwhelmed and confused that it's considered such a masterpiece.
