Death the Endless
Added 2023-05-04 02:27:57 +0000 UTCNeil Gaiman is one of those authors that is so deeply influential that there's no way around it. Neverwhere was my first Gaiman book and I loved it so hard that it was very clearly the inspiration point for my comic Finder's Keepers. Ocean at the End of the Lane is one of the most poignant things I've ever read. But perhaps the most iconic Gaiman influence was when he depicted Death as a small waif of a punk rock goth girl.

I LOVE this! As a fan from when the first Sandman issue came out, this is amazing!

2023-05-05 20:13:10 +0000 UTCVery, has a full cast of actors and sound effects to really immerse you in to the world if you ever check out any others in the future I'd recommend starwars (red harvest, death troopers), impact winter, and helix station, the last 2 has game of thrones actors

2023-05-04 15:27:45 +0000 UTCI never read his comics but his books "Good Omens" and "American Gods" were both engrossing and fascinating to me.

2023-05-04 10:03:10 +0000 UTCMe too. Finders Keepers was one of my earliest introductions to urban fantasy and I was hooked on the genre. It's still one of my favorites that I go back and re-read now and then and feel a little sad it ended. This piece makes me think how cool it would be to see Death and Death hanging out and swapping stories over some tea.

2023-05-04 05:42:06 +0000 UTCI have to mention the Sandman audiobooks - they are amazing. The cast do an incredible job of bringing the world to life.

2023-05-04 03:59:57 +0000 UTCI quite liked the show. I think it stayed solidly true to the original work (as best I remember) while making some edits to adapt it for a new medium and a new audience. It was one of the better adaptations I’ve seen. I’m looking forward to the next season assuming Netflix doesn’t fuck everything up.

2023-05-04 02:48:20 +0000 UTCnice I listened to audibles sandman my self, loved the HOB GADLING and ORPHEUS stories, did you also check out the show, was was your take of it if you did?

2023-05-04 02:46:14 +0000 UTCNeverwhere is maybe my favorite Gaiman work. Have you read the graphic novel version? I feel like it's the one that does the story the most justice, because it can get into raucously weird visuals with no concern for a special effects budget.

2023-05-04 02:43:49 +0000 UTCI loved that comic. The inspiration/association with Gaiman's style of modern fantasy made it an instant follow for me.

2023-05-04 02:35:06 +0000 UTCFinder's Keepers! I haven't thought about that in years. That's where I started following your work, I think.
