The Sandman Vol. 8: Worlds' End by Neil Gaiman

5.0

I think this isn’t the norm but I really enjoy the collections where each issue is a different short story that doesn’t have a major impact on the overall story that Dream and the others move through. I like these little self contained worlds and their characters and I never feel like their stories are unnecessary.

Especially when it comes to a collection of stories like these, where Dream is not a central focus but has only touched the stories or their narrators. It makes the characters fit more into the universe as a whole as Gaiman has created a world where everyone can have a moment of connection with the Sandman but not everyone will have much to do with him otherwise.

I think my favourite story of the collection was “Hob’s Leviathan”. I liked seeing Hob again but it was quite sad to realise that the story takes place before Morpheus is captured and held hostage by Roderick Burgess.
