The Sandman Omnibus

I have never really liked Neil Gaiman's novels. I have always felt that they are not very memorable, which I would never accuse The Sandman of being. This is simply put the greatest comic book series of all time, unsurpassed even after around 20 years it completed. Every issue of the series is great. I especially loved the Kindly Ones arc, which brought back characters from as early as the first issue, which shows the amazing sense of connectivity among all the arcs.

I am a sucker for great characters and locations, and the series is filled with them. Even minor characters like Marvin and Lucien have deep personalities. Locations are memorable like Baghdad and The Inn at the World's End.
