Death

by Neil Gaiman

Various (Illustrator)

• From the pages of Newbery Medal winner Neil Gaiman's The Sandman
  comes fan-favorite character Death in a collection of her solo adventures!
  The first story introduces the young, pale, perky, and genuinely likable Death.
  One day in every century, Death walks the Earth to better understand those to
  whom she will be the final visitor. Today is that day. As a young mortal girl
  named Didi, Death befriends a teenager and helps a 250-year old homeless woman
  find her missing heart. What follows is a sincere musing on love, life, and (of
  course) death. In the second story, a rising star of the music world wrestles
  with revealing her true sexual orientation just as her lover is lured into the
  realm of Death that Death herself should make an appearance. A practical,
  honest, and intelligent story that illuminates "the miracle of death." Plus,
  Death's first appearance from The Sandman series, her tale from
  Sandman: Endless Nights, and much more!

So, I still haven't finished all of the Sandman series, and it's still one of my goals. But, the absolute volumes are a tad cumbersome to read, and honestly, a bit overwhelming in the amount of words and sometimes, I just want something smaller.

So I pulled this off my shelf, and I'm so happy I did.

I think this goes in chronological order based on the series, because I recognized a few of the first stories, which appear in the first 2.5 absolute volumes that I've currently read. The others were new and exciting and fantastic. I'm guessing they'll appear again in the second half of the series.

Death is definitely my second favorite Endless, and that's just because I dig her emo brother just a bit more. However, it was great to get away from all of that and just read some really wonderful stories. And, by reading this, I'm more excited to continue the series than I have been.

Still hoping to have all of the OGs knocked out by the end of the year, so I can move onto the Overture and the new stories coming out in the universe too.
