Graphic Novel Review – Worlds’ End (Sandman, Book 8) by Neil Gaiman, et al. (5/5 stars)

I am a huge Neil Gaiman fan and have been slowly working my way through his Sandman graphic novels.  Slowly because I want them to last as long as they can.  This book was lots of fun.  It was less pilosophical than the last book and more fun; but there are still deep underlying messages woven into the stories that are told.

In this book a guy and girl get into a car accident and find themselves taking shelter from a June snowstorm at a strange inn.  In the inn a number of fantastical people from various times and realities are waiting out the reality storm.  While they wait they tell a number of interesting stories.

This story is a bit of a break from the stories about the mythological gods.  The gods are still in some of the stories and, in the end, it ends up that even this whole novel is really about them in a very direct way.

I enjoyed every bit of this book.  It was fun to read about all these different stories.  The idea of an Inn at the end of reality is fun and interesting.  The artwork throughout the book went through a number of different styles but all of them were fantastic.

A wonderful addition to the Sandman series.  I can’t wait to read the next one!
