Sandman volumes 8, 9, & 10

The Sandman
volumes 8, 9, and 10 by Neil Gaiman, various artists, 712 pages

These three volumes wrap up the main story of the seminal Sandman comics series, so I'm hesitant to go into much detail. That said, I will say that volume 8, World's End, is my favorite of the volumes that collect Sandman-adjacent stories, this time in an inn that is one of the odd liminal spaces where the barriers between worlds and time is thin. The Kindly Ones (volume 9) is the longest chapter of the Sandman story, and has some of my favorite artwork in the series (at least until the published-much-later Overture), and
The Wake
is a beautiful meditation on grief, loss, and change. It's a lovely end to the main series.
