Review - The Dead Boy Detectives manga (The Sandman)

[wilderthan]

The Dead Boy Detectives manga is done by Jill Thompson, who also did the Death: At Death's Door manga. The art is really cutesy and the whole atmosphere is much lighter than in the actual series. It's fun to see Edwin and Charles, although there aren't really any other characters from the series in it. Death, Dream and the Corinthian all briefly appear, but only for a panel or two each, and not for any great plot purpose.

The plot is ridiculous and silly, and includes ghost boys in drag. It's fun, but nothing special.
