Product Description

DREAMWATCH SEPT 2002

Neil Gaiman is at his best since the classic Sandman series and P.Craig Russel's art compliments proceedings perfectly.

Product Description

A lonely man in Los Angeles is told a unique tale - a passion play that sheds light on the events before the creation of the world! Constructing the Universe is a vast task - and up in Heaven, God has allocated roles to all of his angels, even if the roles of some are more ineffable than others. But when a murder takes place - the first murder - an archangel is assigned to investigate...Teaming a story created by comics legend Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, Miracleman, Harlequin Valentine) with an adaptation by acclaimed, multi-award winning artist P. Craig Russell (The Sandman, The Ring of the Nibelung), this is guaranteed to become an instant classic!

4.0 out of 5 stars Magic and Horror from the Master of Dark Fantasy, 12 Jul 2002

By	"elapheg" - See all my reviews

Anything by Neil Gaiman is a pleasure. This adaptation of what is certainly one of his best short stories, illustrated by the artist responsible for 'Ramadan', the most well-loved installment of Gaiman's pioneering comic, 'Sandman', is certainly no disappointment. The story is elegant, well-paced and compelling; the delicate yet commanding illustrations match it to perfection. If I had a complaint it would be that in illustration the story loses some of its original enigmatic quality, making it rather easier to work out what is going on, but this might just be because I have read the story in the original and was able to anticipate the action. However, the fact remains that I had to read the prose version twice to be absolutely sure of all the details, which was a large part of the charm for me; Gaiman's ability to craft intricate storylines which really force the reader to stay alert is one of his great skills. I felt that, even did I not already know the story, it would have been more transparent on the first reading in graphic novel form. Naturally, this will not be a problem for many, as it doesn't diminish the power of the plot or its breathtaking suggestions on the subjects of God and Lucifer at all. Lucifer as a character is an old favourite for Gaiman, and he portrays him with remarkable compassion and insight as always. If there is one thing that can be guaranteed with every new work by Neil Gaiman, it is that it will make you think long and hard, and this is no exception. His partnership with P Craig Russell has yielded magical results in the past, and it is to be hoped that they will get together again in the future to create even more stardust and darkness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gaiman Classic, 11 Jul 2002

By	D. Rattray "derekR" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For anyone who misses Gaiman's glory days of Sandman and all related comics, then this is most definately the next best thing. Although the scripting is not by Gaiman himself, it is competently adapted from a Neil Gaiman short story by P. Craig Russel, who is also responsible for the beautiful artwork on this particular tome.
The story concerns angels at the early stages of creation and how they are affected by the first ever murder, and its subsequent investigation. It is a classic piece of fantastical fiction, which is quite obviously where Mr. Gaiman feels most comfortable. There is misdirection and mystery aplenty, and the story is left with a very cunning openness which belies Gaimans true genius.
If you like this, you'll love all the Sandman graphic novels, and American Gods, his most recent novel (ish...Coraline is his most recent, and probably also brilliant, novel, but it aint out yet over here). Just buy anything with Gaiman on it, okay...its a sure mark of quality.
