I think this tedious reviewer needs to see more "lush landscapes, epic struggles, pointed political allegories and delicious, disgusting monsters" in The Sandman ->

The Sandman season two review – Neil Gaiman’s emo drama is so pretentious it ruins everything
The return of the mopey goth hero sees him stroppily shuffle through what could be fantastic adventures as if they are tedious obligations. And some of the dialogue: oof!

Here's the cover from a really great book of short stories, from 2010, named "Shadow Show".
The stories, written by a wide variety of top-notch authors, such as Margaret Atwood and Harlan Ellison, each celebrate Ray Bradbury's life and writing.
(The book cover art is by Tom Gauld--I found it searching online for Gauld's cartoons.)

S02E11 of #TheSandman felt like watching the entire symbolic burial of Neil Gaiman - farewell cookie fortune and all - just so DC could retain the option to a reboot, at least for some of the characters. But it was a straight up Viking funeral.
