Death: The High Cost of Living by Neil Gaiman

5.0

enjoyable tale. Every century Death must become mortal to understand what life means, as Death, not the goddess,but death itself. We first met Death in the early volumes of Sandman, and she easily became one of my favorite characters. She's spunky and vital, and vibrant. She's funny and kind. She's everything you don't think Death will be, and is at the same time everything you think she is. It's complicated, but a beautiful kind of complicated. This tale is short, but long for a comic. We never really find out the plot of the "bad guy" but maybe I'm just missing something, as a lot of the characters are cameos or recurring from other DC universe and Sandman series. The real tale isn't finding Hattie's heart or saving the ankh, it is about making sure life is worth living, by enjoying every moment.Food, hot dogs, lox and bagels,(something I have yet to try) marbles and music, coke and ginger ale, walks in the park and listening to fountains, tea and sympathy with strangers. "You got what everyone got, you got a life time"My favorite line by Death.
