As my namesake implies, I like complete sets, but I also like craftsmanship on par as well. I purchased the Omnibus (both 1 & 2) because I read about the binding issues with the Absolute Editions and I felt that maybe they'd worked the bugs out of it for the Omnibus versions, which were shorter. I also thought I'd save some money. While the latter was true, the former was NOT.Whatever issues of glue-bonded spines the Absolute Editions carry, the Omnibus have it worse because the page count is so high and on glossy paper, which is heavier than traditional bond. The spine has a thin black sheet of paper to serve as the patch for the glue, and it pops and peels when the book is opened past the fits 100 pages. You can open the book without doing this, but you have to angle the covers at about 30 degrees to keep the tension off the spine. Glue is simply NOT suitable for a 1000+-page book of this weight and I don't know WHAT they were thinking by using it instead of Smythe sewing. If I'm spending $100 or so for it already, I don't mind the extra money for a sturdier brace. I imagine that the book will be falling apart in the next 20 years as the glue decays.I regret my purchase and wish I would have spent the extra coin on the Absolute Editions. There are extras with those and the page count is lower, so the strain on the glue-bound spine is lesser. If you're going to have the same problem either way, you might as well go with the product with a more manageable means.
I'd like to start my review by pointing out I'll be reviewing the edition itself not the story. Sandman is a wonderful work of fiction and widely considered to be one of the greatest graphic novels of all time, if you haven't read it you likely just haven't been able to convince yourself it's worth the $100+ price tag (it is by the way). The point is, you shouldn't be asking yourself whether you should get Sandman, you should be asking yourself should I get this printing or one of the 10 that came before it.Many would consider DC's absolute editions to be the pinnacle of collected editions, for my part I've always found them a bit too cumbersome and more than a bit too pricey. This Sandman Omnibus is much more in line with Marvel Omnibuses (which is to say it's nearly identical), you get a sturdy hardcover filled with approximately 1000 pages of material for roughly the same price tag as a single absolute that holds half the material. The main difference between this and Marvel's omnibuses is that this addition does not come with a dust jacket, but instead the hardcover itself has been turned into a work of art. The binding is stripped in a way that resembles an old textbooks, the cover is stamped with silver and black in just the right amount of flourish, and even the ends of the pages are dipped black (in a manner all too clearly meant to imitate a bible). Presentation wise its the first graphic novel I've purchased since the Dark Tower Omnibus that looks like a genuine work of art without even breaking it open.When you do get around to breaking it open you'll notice the book uses the recolored pages found in the absolute editions (or most recent paperbacks), this might be a drawback for some but having read both editions I found the recoloring to be a plus. The binding, which appears to be a combination of glued and sown, lays flat enough you don't lose chunks of the story even on two page spreads. The one addition I found to be something of an annoyance is the added issue number on the bottom left corner. This doesn't appear on all pages, it's done in a manner similar to adding a page number (just two or three times an issue) but its enough text to be distracting, at the very least they could have just put #1 instead of "The Sandman #1" each time.There's really not much in terms of extras, enough pages in biographies to draw a little of your time but nothing else. That being said this is really, in my mind, the best edition of Sandman released so far. I wouldn't go so far as to turn your absolutes in and make a repurchase since there's really not much new here, but if you're interested in picking Sandman up for the first time or replacing your deteriorating first editions this omnibus offers tremendous value considering the price.**Note as of this review Amazon is not displaying the correct title image for this book. Amazon shows an image of Morpheus on a white background, while the book itself is more of a cherry brown color with text reading Neil Gaiman the Sandman Omnibus Volume I instead of any prominent image.
We ordered Volumes 1 and 2, having never read either before but having heard that the series was really good. Volume 1 arrived in great shape, and stayed that way as my wife and I each read through it. It felt durable, and it would easily lays open. But from the very first time we opened Volume 2, the binding has been creaking and cracking, and feels fragile. Unfortunately, the return window had ended by the time we finished Volume 1 and discovered the problems with Volume 2.I'm not even going to attempt to review the story, since that is so subjective, but, if you are someone who likes to curl up in bed with a book, this publication is a little too large and too heavy for that... We did compare our copy to a friend's publication that had the first ten comics, and this publication has crisper images and brighter colors, which make it both beautiful and easier to absorb.(We reviewed Volume I at five stars and Volume 2 at three stars for the durability issues)
Volume 1 contains issues 1-37 and the sandman special #1. It is a huge leather bound book that weighs about as much as a baby. This omnibus is featured at a discounted price on Amazon even though it seems really expensive once you've looked around youll see this is actually a really good price for a near complete leather bound collection of Sandman.
I've always been a fan of Gaiman, and of the Sandman series. I was so excited when the Omnibus arrived! It's a beautiful tome, very attractive with a vintage look to it. It's quite heavy, so you can't really read it standing up (unless you're trying to combine your reading and exercise routine). I don't mind that at all - on the contrary, I feel it adds to the intensity of the experience. The tome makes me feel like Destiny of the endless reading from my book of fates.
