What have they added in new for the Absolute releases? I have al the old Graphic Novels back home.

Anyone else getting the volume, or is interested in Neil Gaiman (besides having watched Stardust)? I did see that someone was reading "American Gods" and I think more than a few people have heard of/know someone who has read "Coraline" or "Neverwhere".

You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

Like with Volume 1, Volume 2 is supposed to feature completely new coloring (approved by Neil Gaiman) and a bunch of bonus material (info. courtesy of Wikipedia): Two never-before-reprinted stories by Neil, a complete reproduction of "The Sandman: Gallery of Dreams", and the complete script and pencils by Gaiman and Kelley Jones for Chapter Two of "Season of Mists".
I have the first hardcover Absolute Sandman and the extras were really insightful to how they put everything together. What I think makes the re-doing of the Sandman issues worth it (Also, because I didn't own any Sandman before the Absolute edition came out) is that Gaiman gets to fine-tune/tweak the great work that he's already done, to make them even better.
Unico Power!
Yeah, I have the first volume and it's the nicest book I own. Need to pick up Volume 2.
Please look forward to it!
Volume 1 is wonderful. I'll be buying this as soon as it's in stores.
(First time reading Sandman)
edit: Oh shit, it's out? Oct 30th, I thought.
You've never read Sandman?
Well don't read anything anywhere that will spoil the story for you. It's absolutely amazing the first time through.

Is it out in bookstores already? I pre-ordered my copy of Vol. 2 and I should be getting it tomorrow. And yes, listen to bbobb.
Do you prefer dogs or cats?
Wait, is this a reprinting? I never did get a chance to read through all of this.
...but, boy did I like MirrorMask and am I ever enjoying Good Omens.
Know How I Know You're Gay?
Yes, it's a reprinting of The Sandman. Volume 1 has Issues #1-20, Volume 2: #21-39 and there two more volumes TBA.

I wish they'd just do them in the style of Marvel's large hardcover graphic novels. The Absolute line is nice and all, but ridiculously overpriced.
