Overall, Wesley Dodds: The Sandman #6 is a really good comic. there are some really fun moments as well as thrilling ones. It's clear that this series is deserving of an ongoing by this creative team. There's plenty more stories to tell and more to be done with Dian and Wesley, and eventually Sandy. The hiccups mentioned don't detract in a big way, but just distract for a bit. Read Full Review
This was an excellent end to the series. A real noir style start to the issue, followed by a great rough and tumble fight, with a nice tag team with his lady friend. Ends noir style as well. Final page was a nice cannon event. Really puts this story into Sandman lore. I had goosebumps on it from the nostalgia.
This was an excellent issue and included everything this issue needed to conclude this great story. It stuck the landing, it respected the sandman lore, built on it a tiny bit and had great characterizations.
Rossmo also did a much better than expected job throughout. While I still say he should be used very sparringly, and is almost always used in ways he should not, he fit the style of this book well and it was more
Strong if somewhat predictable ending. Love me that Rossmo art and have for years, but DC still hasn't really found that one book he can stay on long term. And Vendetti is just an underappreciated talent. But what next? These miniseries are all fun but that seems to be the end for them.
Hell yeah Dian! This series was great and I really don't even have any complaints with Rossmo's art. He may not have been my top choice but his style lends a uniqueness to this title that I can see being appropriate since the mystery theater days of Davis or Taylor felt the same way to me. Great mystery set in a different time period plus being full of DC lore equals at least one happy camper here.
I really didnt care or knew much about Wesley Dodds. but although the art wasnt that good, the story was interesting and I thought this series was interesting. I would definitely reccomend this series.
