So, I recently finished The Sandman series and have been annoying everyone that I know IRL to read them because, holy shit guys, THEY'RE SO FREAKIN GOOD. Revolutionary observations, I'm sure.

However, this wasn't my first interaction with Neil Gaiman. Not by a long shot. Long ago, I read a book called American Gods, and I really didn't like it. I felt like the premise went nowhere, etc. etc., insert your own criticism here, I don't really want to get into that right now.

What I do want to get into is, the similarities between the Sandman universe and the American Gods one. Many of the same entities make an appearance, though their personalities are different (most notably Odin), and personally, I think that Sanman deals with them in a more interesting way than American Gods does. What do you guys think? Are they comparable? And which take do you prefer?

You're thinking graphic novels or literature. This is visual novels. I suggest the comics or literature subforums.
