Say It With Manga, Valentine’s Day Edition
This being Valentine’s Day, I could only talk about manga with a focus on relationships. Specifically, I’m looking at one volume that’s a bit twisted, one that’s bittersweet, and one that’s just all kinds of awesome. All of them are single-volume works, so there’s a little anti-Valentine’s Day lack of commitment wrapped up in here, too.

And now let us believe in the long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been. (Rainier Maria Rilke)

Comics You Should Own – Sandman
Yes, I know I call this “Comics You Should Own” and not “Comics You Already Own,” but let’s check this out anyway – I hope I have something new to write about it! Plus: Yeah, this is really, really, REALLY long. I just want you to be aware of that. But there are lots of pretty pictures! I should apologize for taking so long with this – I started writing it in October, but it’s been a bear to finish, plus I had all the other stuff going on at the end of the year. I love doing these posts, but they do take up a lot of my time, and “S” is a deadly letter in the comics alphabet, with a lot of great and long series – I anticipate spending the entire year on it, and who knows if I’ll even get through all the great series that begin with “S” in the next 12 months! Anyway, read on … if you dare!
