Review - Death: The High Cost of Living (The Sandman)

Death: The High Cost of Living is a short and sweet little comic, featuring Death as she appears in The Sandman, but as the star. None of the other Endless appear, instead it follows Death during her one day in a hundred years of being a mortal. It's a pretty simple little story: it's interesting because it stars Death, who as a character is awesome, but the story itself isn't dazzling. The art is nice and the bonus story where Death talks about STDs and such is fun, but in itself, it isn't dazzling and it's not a good introduction to the series.

Review - Endless Nights (The Sandman)

Endless Nights is an interesting collection of stories about the Endless, each with different art styles and different ways of telling the stories. Desire's has very sensual, "pretty" art, while Delirium's story is all over the place.

It's a very interesting novel. We get to see Delight, and one of Dream's early relationships, and Death in her early years... It's not a groundbreaking volume, really -- we don't learn anything revolutionary about the characters, just read a few untold stories that fill in a few details.
