I can't believe it

Sandman - The Wake
von Neil Gaiman

Bewertet mit 4.5 Sternen

Phew, this was probably the most confusing episode I've read so far, at least the first 60 to 80 pages. I could not believe it: One of the Endless died? Or what? Or not? And also the two different stories at the end, which are very nice (especially the drawings of the last but one) confused me at the beginning even further. Do they have anything to do with the death of the Endless? And if yes – what? To complicate matters further all the figures of the past stories turned up again, from those I can remember a few, unfortunately, only vaguely. My conclusion: I have to read all this again, but with less time interval between the different episodes.
Whatever, this is an ending for such a serial like it has to be - mysterious and sad with beautiful pictures, but not without hope. Because: “And everything changes. And nothing is truly lost.”
