So Sad
Saturday, January 26th, 2008 running time 24:11
The topic of Neil Gaiman's Sandman has long been one of controversy at the iFanboy offices. Ron took up the challenge and read the whole epic, and Conor jumped in too. Did Lord Morpheus, the Dream King have anylasting effect? You will certainly be surprised by what transpires within.
Whether you're a long time fan of this classic series, or wondering if you should plunk down your money for the first Absolute Sandman book, this episode of iFanboy should have something for you. Thanks to Josh's bookshelf, both Ron and Conor somewhat reluctantly started with volume 1, Preludes and Nocturnes straight through volume 10, The Wake.
Did Ron like it? Did Conor hate it? Did Josh ever really like it in the first place? Is reading them in sequence the right way to go? What is the best eye shadow for podcasting? Many answers are contained herein.

To stay away everything and accent and is that I didn't buy it because at certain types. Really kind of -- and then in the mid ninety's. I don't know that it definitive look. And you know and hold -- character Torre -- and all that kind of stuff -- kind of kind of look at who really kind of -- book really. Brought -- this is -- I respect that I understand it. I've from long record before that the more. Fan fail to -- bass kind of you know move. Books aren't really mine a money bag. Mind you. That said Iran Alton volumes. And it was it awful.

It will Connecticut I read it in this is this becomes the issue trade today acknowledged we penalties and supplement. But I got really thrown off because there have been one trade where I feel like it would give momentum to be be somewhere in the stuff going on and then the next straight -- pulled up from a do you feel and are excellent excellent excellent -- Yeah but but but -- story are there would be one artist of course that's where needs are polite hit Andy get a bunch of the the what's wrong move one office or is the one that drove me knotts was Miami worlds and with all the stories that apparently had nothing to do with anything -- the in you know which is one -- my fair -- So the -- this one was that was the hardest for me to read face."

" And we hadn't been home and as the Red Cross. My favorite story which aren't really really liked was the one store where. -- there's two times that guy yes. It really -- yeah fantastic it was more historical and Aaliyah I thought conceded that they've got a problem difficult role than the way. How culturally true was originally hop gathering at the renaissance fair. Went species like that -- gambling and it looked at -- a France. Yeah through the layers truth but to that point it was so cold and some of your lights because you can tell a story -- growth yeah what do."
" What I wanted to like blacks -- that on okay this is going to be a good one and and paying. Was the road trip looking for the destruction lost brother I would do that does is delirium warehouse. Yet and this and this again is is more an execution opened. She because delirium is is meant to be delirium her speech bubbles are kind of tie guy. And the lettering is really kind of you know whimsical and -- really hard to read. Really like pain in the -- supposed to be following it is and I. Things of that Santa -- as people talk about and it's very possible he won iasis during this time a top class letter. Every care -- zone like lettering yeah -- really cool."
" You never had a problem -- who was off. Yeah that no one had zone style lettering on color -- books they reason you don't know who holds a moment. But but salute with excellent delirium. I."

It's obvious I'm I'm I'm fearing listen to us talk that people let it. -- seminar -- she's -- this -- jumps all over the place and not a single story line vice not point eight when activity at all I don't."
" Friend has my friend who first of what's in -- liking in college you want me to read it and I remember specifically. That he's like --"
" First. Three to more than 154. Yeah. Number ten the -- says. The wake is attentive and ultimately going to sandman library full senate funds can be read out of order to wake especially after all the animals there's -- really. There individual is no slots that you follow the whole thing there's there's lights red and his development so makes more sense we know if there's an overarching you can pick up a random books and read to him. You know via."
" But the ones near the end really are the ones that started that's actually -- nine. Com for me sort of non fatal six points here and."
" And knock out punch in the -- some get through these were getting close to shoot dale like I got finished his books and pick up minus plus -- of."
" And it was an I really the art in this line. And -- and and I enjoyed that sort and I kind of felt by any going to the climax of the what happened is -- felt like -- facilitate. Not call list and girls all experienced this yet again like her -- bomb went but it. It is half -- that there was -- there was the one thing with that it would. The baby and that was really. Distracting to -- and -- in this little one before. I think this is the one before where there's a woman who. Is the press and has a baby and and though the apartment and the friend taking care -- pass up. And it just that was really -- that was really it was it was a it was a smooth."
" Some and then I -- I really I'm files are really enjoy the way the end the last chapter just sort of reflective look back it's there's like. If there's a way that's what's called.

Episode #54 - "So Sad"

Running Time: 00:24:10
The topic of Neil Gaiman's Sandman has long been one of controversy at the iFanboy offices. Ron took up the challenge and read the whole epic, and Conor jumped in too. Did Lord Morpheus, the Dream King have any lasting effect? You will certainly be surprised by what transpires within.

Ron totally pulled off the goth look. Good on ya, buddy.
So now that Sandman is done...I'm throwing down the gauntlet: You guys need to read Cerebus.

You know I sat there for awhile thinking, "He actually looks good in that coat." The rest though. No. No.

No.
As for the actual subject matter. I've never read The Sandman. It's on that everlong "To Read", but it's kind of a daunting purchase. One of these days.

I don't know, Sandman has never really had that "goth" stigma for me. I see why it would, I guess just because no one I know who has read it really looks like that.
