Bringing back old memories

It started in Vermont… Bennington, Vermont that is. My long time friend Tyler Pratt brought me along with his family to visit relatives and that’s where I bought my first comic book. Fast forward a few years and I had outgrown the serialized format, exploring DC’s Vertigo line and reading Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series. This movie brought back the first experience I had when reading Gaiman’s Coraline aloud so long ago. The imagery (in 3D), the imagination, the growing dread and the ever-present feeling that something is delightfully amiss. Unsetteling in a way that you can’t just quite put your finger on.
