Another excellent volume by [a:Neil Gaiman|1221698|Neil Gaiman|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1234150163p2/1221698.jpg]. My partner has told me that another comic book series that he reads, [b:House of Mystery, Vol. 1: Room and Boredom|3754399|House of Mystery, Vol. 1 Room and Boredom|Matthew Sturges|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320519139s/3754399.jpg|3798263], seems to be based on this edition of Sandman, and I have to agree.
Of the tales that were told, I think the one about the sleeping cities is what I enjoyed the most. Also the story of Prez, the youngest president, was interesting with Boss Smiley. And then there was the story of the young woman on the Sea Witch... and the idea that the fruit of life was eaten by the Indian man aboard the ship.
This story is slightly askew of the main Sandman plot, but it's still part of the lore.

Worlds' End was an interesting volume. The tales of the travelers were interesting. Nothing mind blowing, profound, or moving here though, in my humble opinion. And what was with the no women thing? Charlene brought it up, but it was never answered satisfactorily.
I enjoy the stories like these in the Sandman series, but it frustrates me that it does nothing to advance the plot of the larger story arc. Why am I reading these?
Also, who died? Are they morning Destruction? Much confuse.

Worlds' End is a collection of six main stories craftily framing other stories within themselves. Each story has a different illustrator and visual style and they are only loosely related to the main Sandman story. Rather, they focus on the nature of reality, power, life and death. They are great to read on their own and strike as pure literature transposed into the comic book medium.
Lovers of the short story and fantastic, rejoice. World's End brings you tale after tale from and for the unwitting traveler. Some aspect of your soul will be touched, rest assured, by any number of these twisting yarns.
I reveled in all of them, but found the story of some far-flung perfection of the American president, a seafarer's legend, and the tales of some necropolis nation to be the most enjoyable.
Hats off to Neil Gaiman, an incredible storyteller
