I have read Sandman through at least four times (I've read individual storylines or even individual issues even more than that) and I will read it at least that many times again. But, really, what do you expect when the graphic novels/comics contained here are the final ones of the series. Still, I won’t dwell on it, but now seems as appropriate a place as any to remark on the strong women of Sandman, particularly those paired with idiotic men (not that Hector Hall wasn’t without his charms).

Now he reaches back through time to the original source stories in a thrilling and vivid rendition of the great Norse tales.

He travels to Hell against the wishes of Morpheus with the help of Destruction (another of the Endless). Also included is the spectacular short story Ramadan, a tale of a young king of ancient Baghdad and the deal he strikes with The Sandman to grant his city immortality, with spectacular illustrations by P.A man finds himself in a snowstorm in July, crashes his car, and walks to an odd Inn full of strange creatures.

Al contrario del segundo tomo, la historia no se centra en Morfeo sino en sus personajes secundarios más relevantes junto a otros que aparecieron vagamente en el primer tomo. It turns out he got caught in a reality storm and is now at an Inn between realms, the Inn at the End of the World. It cleans up the plotlines hinted at throughout the first half of the series and sets in motion everything that follows.

The great Norse myths are woven into the fabric of our storytelling - from Tolkien, Alan Garner and Rosemary Sutcliff to Game of Thrones and Marvel Comics. He is also the author of The Wolves in the Walls and The Day I Traded My Dad for Two Goldfish, both written for children. Encima no es hasta el final cuando comienzan con un arco argumental bastante importante que llevaba esperando desde el primer tomo.Od nekih njeznih prekrasnih tipa Prica u pijesku- ma ono, nema ih niti u jednoj slikovnici, pa naletis na ozbiljni drustveni komentar na svega par stranica kao u Snu tisucu macaka, a nemali broj puta te prikuje za pod s totalno bolesnom, jeza uvrnutom pricom tipa konvencija serijskih ubojica ili Caliope i uvijek se vracas po jos.

Indeed, Death gets the quote of the arc (and possibly her best quote of the whole collection) when she responds to a dead person complaining about not having enough time – she assures him that he got what everyone gets, “you got a lifetime”. I had the feeling that Gaiman was enjoying the world he had created, but had more ideas in him than could be wrapped around the one character.

It occurs to me that the world Gaiman set up for himself was in fact the perfect tool for him: He could incorporate any mythology, religion, genre, location or time and still make it all self-consistent, hence allowing his imagination to go wherever it wanted or needed to. It’s a wonderful story about an individual who would not let himself be corrupted and perhaps the story to most overtly deal with that most patriotic of subconscious thoughts, the American dream. Everything about this volume is wonderful, from the gorgeous and varying artwork, to Gaiman's masterful story-telling, weaving disparate threads into the finest tapestry.

Dok grintam i gundam pritom ljuteci se na sebe sto si uopce dopustam grintanje i gundanje, dogadaju se Vjecni kao djeca, Kratki zivoti (u kojoj me potresa scena s Morfeusom i Orfejem - odnosno ignorantan komentar blentave bundeve), Ramazan koji je uvjerljivo najljepse vizualno iskustvo i takoder tragican da to boli, a onda i taj nesretni Kraj svijeta. I enjoyed the presence of Delerium (who has a voice in my head which doesn’t sound a lot unlike Miranda Richardson in Blackadder) and Destruction is hard not to like (modeled on Brian Blessed, so all we need is Rowan Atkinson as Dream and we’re set). There are some light marks to the page edges but otherwise in very good condition with pages crisp and clean. Narratives in narratives in narratives, nesting to an almost Conrad-like level where the very idea that one person is telling this to a crowd of strangers in an Inn was ridiculous.But both the angels and demons - well, one fast-living demon and a somewhat fussy angel - would quite like the Rapture not to happen. As potentially satisfying the revelation of the mysterious seventh Endless could have been, I had to fight to keep the glaze off my eyeballs sometimes.
