Retrieved May 14, 2020. is truly the cream of the crop when it comes to Vertigo books. Neil Gaiman's work on the series is considered legendary for a reason. This story, in its entirety, is every bit as good as Watchmen and of equal (if not greater) literary merit. Were I to list the 100 best single comic-book issues I have ever read, three would come from this collection. Whether you have read The Sandman before or are a first timer, this is the one book you need to buy this fall. The stories within are magnificent and the care taken in reproducing Gaiman's work is the same you'd expect for any great work of literature.

A Midsummer Night's Dream... can you guess what one this was about?! It's a depiction of the very first performance of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream before an audience of very bizarre creatures. This was probably my least favourite issue in this volume, but I'm blaming this on remembering NOTHING about this play from school. I've no doubt I was missing out on cool little references - perhaps a crash course on the play would have fared me well! It was still pretty funny at times and I will never not be in awe of Gaiman's imagination. Cats, there are cats everywhere, in every continent, in every country, in every town, almost in every street. We are surrounded by cats. And they dream. They all dream. And they all can dream the same dream. And if they all can dream the same dream, they can change the world...This volume contains four independent stories. The first story, "Calliope", contains the first reference to Dream's son Orpheus, who will play an important role later in the series. The second story, "A Dream of a Thousand Cats", is one of the most enduringly popular issues of the entire series. Sandman #19, "A Midsummer Night's Dream", introduces Morpheus' creative partnership with William Shakespeare, and was the only comic book to win a World Fantasy Award. Lastly, this volume has the first story in which Dream does not appear, "Façade". The collected edition also includes Gaiman's script for "Calliope". The Annotated Sandman arrives this October!".

[80] I never read the graphic novels and was coming into this as a fan of Neil Gaiman's writing. Perhaps that was why I did not enjoy the title as much as I hoped. A two-star review for story is harsh when compared to the other titles on audible but in comparison to the stories told in Gaiman's other work I feel it is appropriate. The intricate and compelling stories told in American Gods, Neverwhere, and even the lesser known Anansi Boys all put this title to shame. Speaking of which, I must read her issues at some point: Death Deluxe. She’s certainly the most beautiful depiction of death I’ve ever seen…….(stares silently into the distance)

In a DC Showcase animated short, Death made her first official appearance outside of comics. In the short, Death (voiced by Jamie Chung) meets Vincent (voiced by Leonardo Nam), a failed artist struggling with his personal demons. It was directed by Sam Liu, and written by J. M. DeMatteis. The short was released as a special feature with the Wonder Woman: Bloodlines Blu-Ray.
