Sandman

Sandman 65-73

The rest of “Kindly Ones” and “The Wake.”  Just so good.  Neil Gaiman ends his magnum opus with an epic arc, and then follows it up with a beautiful, quiet, contemplative coda.  Marc Hempel continues to rule, and Michael Zulli’s work is equally beautiful in a different way.

This speech defined my high school years.

So creepy and cool.

Gaiman is so good at these bon mots

I love the Borghal Rantipole from just this one panel.

Great timing in those last three panels.

Stunning profile.

So sad and lovely.

Cute callback.

And that's it.

Zulli defines the Daniel Dream.

Best name ever.  And I really want to read about his triumph and tragedy.

Goodbye, Gilbert.

So dark.  But a parent should never outlive their child.

Are these the same people from "Season of Mists?"

Why didn't Gaiman write this meeting?!?!?!?!

They should meet every one hundred years.

Regret buying: No

Would buy again: Yes

Would read again: Yes

Rating: Pure joy

Just two issues to go.  And this whole project is basically over.
