Death: The Time of Your Life

 Issue #1

Only three issues is sad but what a first issue. Held my attention until the very end. I quite liked Larry, that was a sad death. It’s crazy how similar the Hollywood industry still is. Hopefully Death isn’t coming for anyone, but I know that’s a long shot. 

Issue #2

Death is such a strange beacon of hope it’s both inspiring and oddly fascinating. Gaiman’s sort of punchy humor gets me good. I wonder what’s the larger purpose of the dreams. I know yes, it’s all dreams, but it’s an interesting connection in this story named after Death. Also, kinda crazy that Death has just been chilling, hanging around. I hope that nothing like Hazel killing Foxglove happens.

Issue #3

I can’t remember if this happened in the original Sandman, but if it did I completely forgot it. That page of death…Can’t quite put that feeling into words. It’s large. Intense. I appreciated that this story about Death and deals and stardom had a very homely feel to it. It did feel like it meandered during the first two issues, but they were about stories. That’s what this all was after all.
