Summary
From the pages of Newbery Medal winner Neil Gaiman's THE SANDMAN comes fan-favorite character Death in a new deluxe hardcover edition collecting her solo adventures！The first story introduces the young， pale， perky， and genuinely likable Death。 One day in every century， Death walks the Earth to better understand those to whom she will be the final visitor。 Today is that day。 As a young mortal girl named Didi， Death befriends a teenager and helps a 250-year old homeless woman find her missing heart。 What follows is a sincere musing on love， life and （of course） death。
In the second story， a rising star of the music world wrestles with revealing her true sexual orientation just as her lover is lured into the realm of Death that Death herself should make an appearance。 A practical， honest， and intelligent story that illuminates "the miracle of death。"
This new hardcover collects the DEATH: THE HIGH COST OF LIVING and DEATH: THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE miniseries， a must have for any fan。

Confusing， jumped around。 I know it has common characters with each story but it would've been nice for them to ease into the next tale in an easier way。 Confusing， jumped around。 I know it has common characters with each story but it would've been nice for them to ease into the next tale in an easier way。 。。。more

They make it sound like Death is the most beloved of all Sandman characters。 Well， I'm not too big on Death。 And her two solo stories are possibly the least interesting of all the mythos to me。 It didn't help that one of them involved my least favourite human characters from my least favourite Sandman volume （A Game of You）。 And what in the hell was the STD awareness bit at the end？ The only story involving Death that I genuinely like is "Death and Venice" and I read that already in Endless Nigh They make it sound like Death is the most beloved of all Sandman characters。 Well， I'm not too big on Death。 And her two solo stories are possibly the least interesting of all the mythos to me。 It didn't help that one of them involved my least favourite human characters from my least favourite Sandman volume （A Game of You）。 And what in the hell was the STD awareness bit at the end？ The only story involving Death that I genuinely like is "Death and Venice" and I read that already in Endless Nights so， uh， yeah。 。。。more

"Nobody's creepy from the inside， Hazel。 Some of them are sad， and some of them hurt， and some of them think they're the only real thing in the whole world。 But they're not creepy。"I try to read Death's stories every now and again。 She reminds me of important things it's easy to forget。 "Nobody's creepy from the inside， Hazel。 Some of them are sad， and some of them hurt， and some of them think they're the only real thing in the whole world。 But they're not creepy。"I try to read Death's stories every now and again。 She reminds me of important things it's easy to forget。 。。。more

A collection of all the stories by Gaiman that feature Death of the Endless。 I found them to be whimsical， insightful， deeply philosophical， and highly interesting。 Great variety found here。 Also， it was amazing to see how much artwork this character inspired at the end of the book by so many different artists。 Some of these were part of the original Sandman comics run and others were written as separate stories。 Well worth the purchase。

Overall -- 4 stars， though the two new stories are easily 5 starsThough there are a few older stories taken from the original Sandman series and elsewhere， the bulk of this volume is made up of two brand new stories focusing on Death: "The High Cost of Living，" and "The Time of Your Life"。 Both are wonderfully done， and I particularly love the continuation of Hazel and Foxglove's story in the latter one。 A gallery Death， her portraits done by various artists， is also a highlight。 I do wish there Overall -- 4 stars， though the two new stories are easily 5 starsThough there are a few older stories taken from the original Sandman series and elsewhere， the bulk of this volume is made up of two brand new stories focusing on Death: "The High Cost of Living，" and "The Time of Your Life"。 Both are wonderfully done， and I particularly love the continuation of Hazel and Foxglove's story in the latter one。 A gallery Death， her portraits done by various artists， is also a highlight。 I do wish there had been more new stories， rather than so many repeated scenes。 。。。more

Philosophical and optimistic， albeit slightly sad。 Very engaging read for the fabs of the Sandman saga。

One one hand I really hate stories about cheating， but on the other hand， this is either the first story I've read that either executed it decently， or it was good enough in all other aspects that it didn't really matter。 I'm still not sure which one I believe yet。 Oh well。 This book is great。 <3 One one hand I really hate stories about cheating， but on the other hand， this is either the first story I've read that either executed it decently， or it was good enough in all other aspects that it didn't really matter。 I'm still not sure which one I believe yet。 Oh well。 This book is great。 <3 。。。more

Love love love the character of Death （dare I say I have a mini crush on her？）， love the stories。 The only reason I rated it 4 stars and not 5 is because I was really pissed to see mental illness used as insults so many freaking times。 I expect so much better from Neil Gaiman。

I thought this would be all new material but it was about half and half pulled from the Sandman volumes and the other chunk was new but with some familiar faces and cameos。

We all love Death， don't we？A few of the stories in here are familiar， having appeared in other， earlier volumes。 It's still nice to have one book that collects them all。 Each one shows a different side of Death's personality， a different phase of her existence。 Even the different art styles are fantastic to see。 （And comics aside， there's a bunch of drawings by various artists at the end of this edition。）There are two multi-issue stories that I hadn't read before。 "The Time of Your Life" reunit We all love Death， don't we？A few of the stories in here are familiar， having appeared in other， earlier volumes。 It's still nice to have one book that collects them all。 Each one shows a different side of Death's personality， a different phase of her existence。 Even the different art styles are fantastic to see。 （And comics aside， there's a bunch of drawings by various artists at the end of this edition。）There are two multi-issue stories that I hadn't read before。 "The Time of Your Life" reunites us with Hazel and Foxglove。 As plots go， it's honestly only so-so for me。 I didn't feel very emotionally invested in it， even though it stars long-familiar characters。 I was more moved by "The High Cost of Living"。 It's been mentioned how Death lives one day in every hundred years as a mortal， but actually seeing that day play out， seeing how she enjoys the little things and changes others' lives。。。 Gosh。 I love her。 。。。more

It had a few repeat stories from The Sandman series， but the new stories were good and provided a good explanation of Death as a character。 Plus this was the last book I needed to read to get through all of The Sandman content before ghe Netflix show。

Non c’è molto da dire: Gaiman garanzia sempre e comunque。 Anche in questa mini dedicata a Morte riesce a incantare， riesce a farti innamorare dei personaggi， riesce a darti lezioni di vita。 Semplicemente magnifico。

Beautiful book with one of Sandman’s best characters。 I love how Gaiman treats death as a natural thing。 Nobody is afraid of her， nobody is panicking。 It’s just part of life。Anyhow， I’ll be seeing you。

Gaiman takes on DeathAnd does it well， of course。 His vison of death is an attractive young goth woman， who likes the people she takes。 It makes for a much more interesting take on the stories rather than having the scary reaper figure。 And the stories are extremely well writen。 Duh。 One caveat， like may graphic compilations lately， this fills the last。 30% of the book with variations on the main character done by various artists。 Some are interesting （Gahan Wilson） and many are stunningly beaut Gaiman takes on DeathAnd does it well， of course。 His vison of death is an attractive young goth woman， who likes the people she takes。 It makes for a much more interesting take on the stories rather than having the scary reaper figure。 And the stories are extremely well writen。 Duh。 One caveat， like may graphic compilations lately， this fills the last。 30% of the book with variations on the main character done by various artists。 Some are interesting （Gahan Wilson） and many are stunningly beautiful。 But for the record， I would have preferred another story。 A great read。 。。。more

This book includes seven stories featuring the character of Death from Gaiman’s Sandman series。 Two of the stories are longer （three-issue） tales， and the rest are single-issue short fiction。 For those unfamiliar with character， Gaiman subverts the “Grim Reaper” persona。 Instead of a cloak-enshrouded skeleton， its face obscured by hood and shadow， Gaiman’s Death is an attractive young woman who goes by Didi， gothically pale but certainly more beautiful than terrifying。 However， appearances aren’ This book includes seven stories featuring the character of Death from Gaiman’s Sandman series。 Two of the stories are longer （three-issue） tales， and the rest are single-issue short fiction。 For those unfamiliar with character， Gaiman subverts the “Grim Reaper” persona。 Instead of a cloak-enshrouded skeleton， its face obscured by hood and shadow， Gaiman’s Death is an attractive young woman who goes by Didi， gothically pale but certainly more beautiful than terrifying。 However， appearances aren’t the only way in which Didi is the polar opposite of the Grim Reaper。 She’s also preternaturally likeable and gregarious。 The first tripartite story is entitled “The Hight Cost of Living，” and in it a suicidal teen， Sexton， gets drawn into Didi’s drama， but also experiences a newfound appreciation for living。 The other three-part story， “The Time of Your Life，” is about a rock star [stage name， “Foxglove”] who has everything a budding pop star could want， but when she learns that you can’t have it all and no one escapes their mortality， she’s forced to reevaluate her priorities。 While the collection is built around those two stories， it’s not like the shorter works are filler。 I found that “Façade” and “Death and Venice，” in particular， to be quite satisfying as stories。 A couple things to keep in mind: First， the stories are pulled from a long run， and so there are discontinuities – e。g。 Death in “The Wheel” looks different from the other stories。 Second， one reviewer said this book wasn’t a good choice if one hadn’t read the whole “Sandman” series。 Someone who’d read it all might get more Easter Eggs， but it’s not the case that the stories don’t make sense in isolation。 With the exception of the opening story， “The Sound of Her Wings，” I didn’t feel I was missing anything by not having read the series。 One can’t go wrong with Gaiman， the storytelling is clever and compelling， and the art is captivating – despite the stylistic variation。 。。。more

Gaiman never disappoints。 This time Death of the Endless gets her own stories， musing about life and of course death。 Somehow Death manages to be comforting not scary。 Hard to fully describe but if you liked The Sandman series this is a mini spin off。

A large collection of interesting storiesThis is a good entry point into the world Neil Gaiman has created。 The stories are brief and there's no exposition， which is lovely。 The art is mid grade and definitely 90s vogue for comics。 A large collection of interesting storiesThis is a good entry point into the world Neil Gaiman has created。 The stories are brief and there's no exposition， which is lovely。 The art is mid grade and definitely 90s vogue for comics。 。。。more
