Barbie returns to The Land, a place she has not visited in her dreams since readers first encountered her in "The Doll's House." Meanwhile, back in the real world, an evil being unleashes the nightmares of Barbie's friends and neighbors.
Este novo arco que possui como foco a personagem Barbie, instiga o leitor a querer conhecer melhor as criaturas que habitam os seus sonhos, além de também ser apresentado um novo vilão. Minha crítica negativa vai para a sessão HQ PRESS. Creio ser desnecessário apresentar as personagens femininas coadjuvantes, e que são figuras constantes no universo dos quadrinhos, apenas com a função de serem bonitas e darem suporte aos personagens masculinos centrais. É o total oposto da história deste fascículo, que tem personagens femininas e independentes de homens, como foco da história.
Continuation of a Slaughter on Fifth Avenue. Barbie and her fellow house-mates are terrorized by the servant of the Cuckoo. They all get horrible nightmares. Unfortunately, one of the house-mates is a bona fide witch, and not defenseless. If she wasn't in this story, it would only be 3*.
Genuinely sad and I like the similarities with this compared to issue 15, but I like this better. The internal struggles and pains of the people in the apartment was very sad, and I think this journey will be great. This is fr in my top 10, or at the minimum close to my top 10 issues so far.
Back on track! I hit a lull with disinterest in some of the temporary focal point characters of prior chapters, but I’m glad to have found that genuine curiosity in the plot again with interest for the focal characters. Barbie’s ties to Doll House and Rose Walker are very smooth and a reminder for me to keep track of these types of connections in the Sandman world.
The dead baby eating the other baby was pretty messed up! Good thing I’m reading this at 4am because that’s an image you can really only deal with at this hour.
Wow. Ein Haus voller spannender Bewohnerinnen, Albträume über Albträume und Bilder, die unter die Haut gehen. Ich gespannt, wie die Reise der Prinzessin Barbie weitergeht.
fiquei um tempinho sem pegar Sandman, mas essa história funcionou legal, não fiquei quebrando a cabeça para lembrar onde tinha parado. achei bem interessante.
Maybe this is why I am less entralled by this plotline: the Big Bad... is a cuckoo. Seriously. We just got back back from Hell and battled serial killers, you want me to care about a cuckoo? Get a cat.
