The end is here. Sandman had a few bumps along the way (Volume 8...) BUT holy hell, what a grand experience it was to get here.

While the last volume covered moving towards death and accepting it, this deals with the fallout. What about the people who you've known in your life. How will they feel, or be effected, in the long run. When Dreams family gathers to say goodbye, strangers from all points of time/life come to the dream land to also say goodbye. Some remembering Dream vividly, some just in passing, but they all have something that connects them to this world.

While this is happening, Daniel, the new Dream, is dealing with learning to be who he is. With the help of Matthew and his brother, he begins to figure that out. Similar to the old dream yet different in ways no one would expect. A nice contrast of how one dies and changes, yet who they are, and what they are, might still b intact.

One of my favorite volumes of the series. Strong character work, meaningful goodbyes, and a hell of a way to end the series. A 5 out of 5.
