I will make my third attempt to read this series in the coming weeks. Ordered volume one of the deluxe edition.
My first attempt was around 2008-09 when I first got into comics, it was volume one of the paperback edition. I remember enjoying the first (and still do on subsequent future attempts). I don't recall why I stopped, though.
Second attempt was last year, omnibus edition) and couldn't make it past the third issue. This attempt was due for a couple reasons; had a lot on my mind (stress from work, relationship, kids, etc). Finding the time to read this without distractions and a clear mind has been tough for me. The Other reason is the format, was uncomfotable to read in omnibus format.
I remember having a similar experience when I read Robinson's Starman. Never got into it the first time around. But then I came around and have read it multiple times since and is one of my favorite series.
I still hope and do have interest to read this series as it's an important piece of literature, both in general and for the medium. I'm curious to know what your experiences are with Sandman.
Have you tried multiple times? Do you still struggle to read it? If you have read it do you still not like it?
Appreciate your thoughts.
