Let me start by saying I am a huge Sandman fan/addict. (Though I certainly do not crave for a second part (it says "N° 1" on the cover)) It's just that I think the book isn't really at Sandman level and I expected a bit more from Jill Thompson (though I do give her points for drawing AND writing it) because it sometimes looked like fanfic. Some of the drawings, especially of Death, are great, and I laughed at the jokes about the perky goth girl. What would you expect?ĭon't get me wrong, I liked the book. After all, it is what it says it is: A party at Death's door held pretty much by Delirium. From that moment on I just didn't take the book or the story too seriously and I ended up having more fun with it. It may be seeing the Endless lose their temper, it may be the many many pages without such a good story, or it may be the use of cheap blinks at sandman fans just to win them over but without really making good use of stuff like, for example, green mouse and telephone icecream. However, there's something not quite right about this book. I like Sandman a lot, I like Death a lot.
