Hi everyone! Like I said in my Marvel Reading Order update yesterday, I've been working on The Sandman Reading Order between other tasks and realized there are a few Vertigo series that aren't overly connected but a character may pop up here and there.

Series like Lucifer, The Dreaming, House of Mystery, and Books of Magic are a little more obviously connected, but others like Hellblazer and Swamp thing are Vertigo books but not "Sandman" books.

My question is, should I include those other Vertigo titles that are more loosely connected or stick with only the obvious Sandman spin-off books?

We're having family visit from out of town this weekend, so I'll leave this poll open until Monday night, then continue working on this next week.

When I read Sandman I didn't think it was necessary to have Swamp Thing and Hellblazer included, they're super minor characters. But reading Swamp Thing afterwards, it actually did pay off (events at the the cereal convention being mentionned, for example), so idk what to think... I'll vote for including Swamp Thing to make you work harder ;)

Looks like I'll just be adding in Hellblazer and any spin-offs or mini-series that seem relevant. Thanks everyone! I should have this one finished in a week or so :)
