But I read up to the end of the City of Glass issue yesterday, and I feel like Neil Gaiman's Sandman is just... trying to shock me repeatedly, and its calls to empathy refuse to not try to make me feel bad for my empathy by revealing a secret that the person I was empathizing with *suuuuuucked* retroactively. "You think this woman is bad?! Well she's a lesbian! HA! You empathized with her for being a lesbian! BUT SHE'S PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE HA!", and like, that's bad empathy, and bad storytelling, and it's not *fun*.
And uh- question - Morpheus definitely is implied to have forced himself on Nada? Right? That's what the closing paragraph says? I'm supposed to like this shitty person? Or like, at least think he's worth following?
