This version of Absolute Sandman collects a few issues from Fables and Reflections, Brief Lives, and World's End. I guess Neil Gaiman heard my complaint about the plot not thickening in Absolute Sandman Vol. 2. Brief Lives and the last few pages of World's End had my eyes glued to the page.
Brief Lives gave me some much wanted insight on Delirium, which I appreciated and enjoyed. It was interesting to watch her appearance change with her mood. Delirium and Dream finally seek out the seventh Endless, Destruction, who gave me more much needed insight. Destruction is used as a vehicle to show what the Endless are all about and what their responsibilties mean. Neil Gaiman said in the afterword that this was the trade that he finally had to nail down where the plot was going and it showed.
World's End is another collection of stories, these ones stemming from patrons in a bar between dimensions. The stories were sometimes uninteresting and sometimes convoluted (especially the stories INSIDE stories). Not Neil Gaiman's best work, but it led to a few full-page spreads at the end that I assume foreshadow the rest of the series that excited me. I'm on to the next and last volume.
