Sandman vol. 6 & 7 by Neil Gaiman, various artists, 511 pages
In Sandman: Fables & Reflections (volume 6), we find Morpheus interacting with prominent fellows such as Marco Polo, Cain & Abel, Augustus Caesar, and Orpheus. The volume feels a bit like a short story collection that's tangentially related to the Sandman universe, with a cameo or two from the titular character.
Sandman: Brief Lives (volume 7), however, is firmly centered on our main character, as Dream accompanies his sister, Delirium, as they search for their estranged brother, Destruction. This is one of my favorite volumes of the series, as I love Delirium as a character, and her childlike views and non-sequiturs play so well against Dream's goth moodiness. Honestly, I could read about their adventures together forever.
