Vertigo

The Dream Hunters isn't your typical Sandman tale, and I think familiar readers will recognize that right off the bat. However, the real accomplishment of this tale is story is how irrelevant the Sandman name really is. In fact, if anything, it's not a stretch to say that the namesake only attracts the otherwise uninterested readers to the book rather than take the chance of existing on its own. Though Morpheus and The Dreaming make appearances, the tale of The Dream Hunters could very well exist on their own merits without being raveled into the world of Sandman. Regardless, this hardcover collection is a worthwhile adaptation of Neil Gaiman's original short story of the same name, and should be read at least once, Sandman fanatic or not.
