A Game of You is the least popular of all The Sandman installments, yet Gaiman considers it his favorite. When it was first published, a story in which Morpheus barely appears, in which half the action takes place in a Disney-on-acid world of talking animals and a villainous Cuckoo, a quest that features the most MacGuffiny MacGuffin ever, and stars one heroine in search of an identity, two lesbians, one trans-woman and a Bronze-age witch...well, let’s just say that the heroes of Comic Book Men, had they been filming in 1992, wouldn’t quite know what to make of it. I have great admiration for the genius of this series, for the themes, for the storytelling, and the way they are combined; however, of all THE SANDMAN trade collections, it is the one I find least enjoyable as a reading experience. In reviewing this collection, as masterful as it is, I feel I have to dock it half a star because so many readers do not enjoy reading it. But how many books that I don’t enjoy reading am I willing to give four-and-a-half stars? Not many, if at any at all. Leave it to Gaiman to make me praise in a long review a story that I wasn’t even looking forward to re-reading!

En gigantisk hund, Martin Tenbones, dukker op, men bliver skudt og dræbt af politiet. Forinden når den dog at give Barbie en Porpentine og advare mod The Cuckoo.
Barbie bor i en lille lejlighed i New York. Her er også Wanda, som er en trans og Barbies ven og beskytter. Et lesbisk par, Hazel og Foxglove. Thessaly, en heks og George, en noget ensom fyr, som faktisk er i ledtog med The Cuckoo. Barbie bliver trukket tilbage i Drømmeverdenen for at redde kongeriget og de andre kvinder forsøger at hjælpe.
I Drømmeverdenen står det skidt til. Gøgen, The Cuckoo, viser sig at være en del af Barbie, i form af en lille pige. Gøgen bruger Porpentine stenen og en Hierogram klippe til at få Murphy, dvs Morpheus til at dukke op og tilintetgøre den del af verden. Men han er ikke begejstret.
Barbie får lov at bestemme hvad der nu skal ske og Gøgen får lov at flyve ud i verden hvilket Thessaly bliver meget vred over. De andre får lov at vende tilbage omend Wanda og George ikke kommer tilbage i levende live.
Herligt anderledes eventyr. (
