The Sandman Vol. 10: The Wake
The Sandman Vol. 10: The Wake | Neil Gaiman, Mikal Gilmore, Michael Zulli
NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Neil Gaiman's transcendent series SANDMAN is often hailed as the definitive Vertigo title and one of the finest achievements in graphic storytelling. Gaiman created an unforgettable tale of the forces that exist beyond life and death by weaving ancient mythology, folklore and fairy tales with his own distinct narrative vision. A groundbreaking and award-winning epic that masterfully creates a modern myth of dark fantasy, the Sandman series tells the tale of Morpheus, the King of Dreams. As a being of infinite power, Morpheus has ruled over the realm of the dreaming since the beginning of time. But now after a tragic fall, Morpheus is no more. In the touching and final chapter of this fantastical legend, friends, siblings, enemies and lovers gather to mourn and honor the fallen Lord. Realistically depicting the feelings of loss and despair associated with death, THE SANDMAN: THE WAKE is an emotional tale of remembrance and rebirth. In the last chapter of the SANDMAN saga, THE WAKE collects issues #70-75.

I was wavering on so-so with this volume, but I think this ties everything up well. There were bits I adored and things I could do without. That‘s the game, though. I was definitely not sorry I revisited this series. It‘s always a treat to go for a magic carpet ride with the Master. ☺️🧡

This follows pretty much right after the end of volume 9, andI don‘t want to say too much so as not to spoil it for anyone.

What I do know is that I will reread this series at some time. I‘m not sure what I excepted when I started reading, but it was a lot more interconnected than I thought and I probably missed something.

Is this the last volume in the main series, or are there more? The introduction said that this was the last.

xicanti There‘s one more recently published volume, Overture, that works as sort of a twisty-turny prequel, plus a short story collection/artists‘ showcase called Endless Nights. 2y

I enjoyed this conclusion to the Sandman series. There's definitely other volumes that I have liked more, though.

A Saturday night with nothing to do but read by the pool ☮️ It feels perfect outside in Alabama tonight, so I hate complain, but when the heck do mosquitos die? 🙄

My little black heart is grateful for the author Neil Gaiman. He is one incredibly talented dude who‘s oeuvre spans comics/graphic novels, adult novels and children stories, audio theatre and film. This man‘s storytelling been with me throughout my life ever since that day I bought The Wake on a whim at B&N.

SconsinBookyBadger @Tamra I‘m not familiar with Alexander McCall Smith. There‘s a copy of No. 1 Ladies at my local library. I‘ll be checking it out for some weekend reading! 😁 6y
Tamra @AnansiGirl they are comfort reads. The characters develop over the series and they become real in readers‘ minds. VERY different from Gaiman! 😆 (edited) 6y

Here's a secret: I read this last volume first, way back in the day. I'd heard of SANDMAN from a book on the history of comics and THE WAKE crossed my path soon after. I read it in a Barnes & Noble in Fargo, ND, and when I was done I put it back on the shelf.

Yeah; I stole the story, if not the book, but the statute of limitations ran out a long time ago.

Then I bought all the others, and I bought this, and the series became one of THE #comics.

Hasn't been the best of days, with a constant neck/backache, which seemed to kick off a headache, then I get in the shower to find that the water's freezing because the pilot light has gone out, but now I've got my pjs on and I'm in my cosy chair with the final volume of The Sandman to reread. And tomorrow will be a better day.

Shakespeare and Ben Johnson compose a bit of doggerel in Gaiman's Sandman.
