Sandman Vol. 8: World's End - 30th Anniversary Edition (The Sandman)

A car crash. A trek through a snowstorm. An inn called "The World's End", where different travellers will share stories while they wait out the storm. For dreams begin when worlds end. A strange collection of tales from Gaiman and his team, where Morpheus' shadow spreads everywhere, but he only explicitly appears once. This is a deep book, with a stunning undertow that will drag you deeper into the intertextual worlds of the Dreaming and the wider DC Universe.

Volume 8 is different, very different. Morpheus doesn't really feature in this volume. 2 mentions if I remember right? Different people from different worlds, a freak storm and a mysterious Inn. Stories abound about different lives telling very different tales. Wanted more Morpheus but I still thoroughly enjoyed this edition.

Just got my next instalment of 'Sandman' by Neil Gaiman. Arrived quickly, and, in very good condition. Very happy with this graphic novel. At some point, I'll be getting the others in this great series - by this great author! Thanks.

World’s End is a bit different from other volumes in the series. Morpheus is a side-line character, making very infrequent appearances along with his sister Death. This meant I didn’t enjoy this as much as the other volumes. Morpheus and the other Endless are the reason I’ve found the other books so enjoyable. I was disappointed by their absence in World’s End. I enjoyed the book and the various tales the infamous characters shared but not as much as I could have.

I have recently purchased many of these graphic novels and this is the first one whose condition didn't match the description. The book is 'wavey' as if it got wet and dried. The corner of the cover is peeling.

Bit boring throughout but still keeps up the pace of the series at some points

The Sandman: 8: World’s End by Neil Gaiman Brant drives Charlene’s car into a tree. They find their snowy refuge at an inn To which, it seems, all worlds’ sojourners flee; And soon enough the travellers’ tales begin: A president who can't be bought with smiles; A man who haunts a hushed metropolis; A tricksy sailor whom the sea beguiles; Apprentice rites in grim necropolis. Each must tell a story, as in Chaucer; Tripping tongues to keep the tavern busy. Like that manuscript from Saragossa, Tales reflect in tales and leave you dizzy. Mysteries untold, connections hinted: There's more to these sly wonders than is printed.

Another great chapter in the Sandman series. World's End is the place that gathers people from other worlds when a reality storm is raging. Charlene and Brant have found their way there after getting involved in an accident. They sit with the people in the pub telling stories to pass the time. I loved the story told by the fae. Another favorite was the one told to Brant. The story definitely had a Christ-like hero. I think my favorite was the sea adventure story by the girl pretending to be a boy. I have loved my first journey through the Sandman series. I will probably start back at the first once I read the last. Hats off to Neil Gaiman an incredible storyteller.

Packaging could have been better. The cover was damaged. Great story, complementary artwork.

Obra prima. Essencial

Este volume faz você se sentir envolta de uma fogueira contando e ouvindo histórias. Uma história melhor e mais interessante que a outra.

I love the structure of this beautiful tale of tales, the atmosphere of the inn, and all the little hidden references within.
