Yeah, it's unfortunate that graphic novels are such a pricy habit. And yes, Sandman is definitely a series that deserves to be read back-to-back. I also read it through the public library the first time, and though the individual chapters work perfectly on their own, you lose the momentum of the overall arc, and end up forgetting so many of the little plot details that add up to the ultimate payoff.

I want the whole thing, obviously, but it's so expensive! As soon as I get the whole thing assembled I'm doing a nice long re-read, because reading it in snatches due to the vagaries of the library system (as I had to the first time around) really does it a disservice.
