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
