Okay, let me tell you that this confused me, a lot. At f***Advance Review Copy generously provided through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Okay, let me tell you that this confused me, a lot. At first, I had to download this book like five times because I thought that I was doing something wrong. That was not Lucifer but Sandman! However, after reading some reviews, I realised that really one-quarter of this Lucifer Volume is about Sandman, which I mostly skipped because I read it just recently.
I have to say that I know Sandman way better than I do know Lucifer, but I still managed to get what was going on fairly quickly. But I was not invested in the story until the last 20 pages or so.
Plus my everlasting issue with Lucifer stories is that since I'm not a native speaker, I have a very, very hard time grasping what Mazikeen is saying....more

Did I saw this Sandman on NetGalley and almost went through my screen because I was so eager to request it? Sure I did.
(I had pretty much the same reaction when I learned that Netflix would create a Sandman series... Now? I'm scared if it will be a good adaptation or not. And I keep wondering if I want them to follow closely the original or to go the same way the creators of Lucifer went.)
Back to the Dreaming. Turn the first page was so exciting! I could not believe that I was back! The Dreaming! And the first pages, wow, back. I was ecstatic!
However, as I progressed, the excitement started to die down. I kept wondering "Didn't we all read this before? Lord of the Dreaming is missing." AGAIN?
And that feeling never left me. What worked once, or twice or even three times... did not work this time.
Plus, I just cannot stand Dora.
However, despite all that, The Dreaming and Sandman is something... it's so high up there that it's so hard to achieve that level of brilliance.
Was this good? Yes. Did it measure up to the original series? No.

This Harley, do good just to go terribly wrong, seems very out of character for my liking. It seems like the authors are unsure who Harley really is and what to do with her without Joker on the scene.
There are too many hallucinations going around; they seriously need to stop with this. It destroys the flow of the story, and it's annoying because it means that simply nothing happens.
I adore Harley and Ivy, however, here, it did not work because it was very fleeing and only several scenes that did nothing for me.
The highlight was Harley in evening dress; she looked stunning.
Where several scenes had potential, it got destroyed by the poor storytelling....more

Probably the best point of the story would be Yo-Yo. There are too many characters to focus on anything in particular. It only jumps from one to another, showing little glimpses on a person's story arc and then it jumps to another one. Not a fan of the last part but that is my personal problem since I simply dislike Amanda Waller....more
I honestly think that there was no reason to split the story arc about General Zod between this issue and the first one. The end of the arc about Zod I honestly think that there was no reason to split the story arc about General Zod between this issue and the first one. The end of the arc about Zod takes less than a half of this issue. The rest is absolutely unrelated. The main surprise, let's call it that, is that while everybody goes insane, (view spoiler)[Harley (hide spoiler)] goes sane. I like this twist. Unfortunately, I cannot say that much has changed in her character. Or that there is a bit difference between the sane and the insane. These issues generally know where to and for a massive cliffhanger or wtf moment. This one is not an exception. (view spoiler)[I'm not a fan of reviving Boomerang. (hide spoiler)]...more
It was easy, fun read but I felt a bit disappointed. However, I remain a villain fan. I will take villain over superhero anytime!

These are the bad guys for a reason. There is no turning them good; they will always do what they want. And I'm really getting annoyed with the "bad guy equals a coward." It's like if they want to show the world black and white.
Also, this one has on the cover "ideal start for new readers", and I could not disagree more. This is probably the worst to start with. I wonder who thought that this would be a good suggestion... ...more

This did not really work. Utterly confusing. Too much that does not really mash together was forced together.
You have Catwoman, Scarecrow, Owls (which really shocked me cause I had no idea why those were there), Mad Hatter, Two-face, Black Mask, Mr. Toxic...
That was simply too much.
Tony Daniel should focus more on his artwork which is excellent. Unfortunately, I find his writing/story-telling somewhat lacking. ...more

The plot seems to be a bit repetitive but the ending killed, again! But since I was not able to remember the plot at all, I will reduce the rating to three stars.
Jasný, že jsem to četla kvůli Harley. Ten konec je bomba!...more
