The Sandman, Vol. 7: Brief Lives by Neil Gaiman
5.0
What I remember from reading it when it came out: I was riveted. I was rabid for this story when it was being released. I was madly in love with Delirium as a character back then because I was fully entrenched in puberty at the time and her brand of chaos felt very, very relatable to me. Jill Thompson's art moved me in a way I hadn't felt about a comic artist before. Everything about this arc was exciting and felt like it was for me, specifically.
What I feel about it now: My goodness, but it's STILL something that speaks to me on a personal level. I bet it does that for everyone who reads it. Now I'm older and Delirium still amuses me, but the world weariness of Destruction (and even Dream) speaks to me in a way it couldn't when I was a teen. Jill Thompson's art actually moves me in a deeper way; I can appreciate her framing so much more, now.
There's an argument to be made that this arc would top my list, if I absolutely had to order the collections into a ranking.
