Wesley Dodds: The Sandman is off to a beautiful start. The mystery The Sandman faces from the crime world of the 1940s and his shocking visions of the future makes this comic ever engrossing. Venditti's thoughtful portrayal of Dodds is both welcoming and unexpected while like a breath of fresh air Rossmo's layouts are gorgeous and a reminder of the inspiration many pencilers should have today.

Issue two has almost as much bite as the first while further setting up a larger story. A fantastic read with sumptuous pencils that are plated perfectly by the colors and lettering, serving readers a satisfying feast.

Some story and a whole lot of action. The mastermind behind all the chaos in Wesley Dodds life finally makes his grand entrance and its so much fun to see Sandman barley survive the encounter.

Wesley Dodds: Sandman #4 manages to be both sagacious and brutal. The issue offers an easy-to-follow story and a complexity to its art that could have readers staring at the pages for hours.

The Sandman team of Venditti, Rossmo, Plascencia, and Napolitano continue to deliver a delightful story of a classic pulp hero through a modern lens. The gorgeous eye popping art and perceptive character development subsides any issues with pacing the story might have.
