The Sandman #70: The Wake, Part 1 by Neil Gaiman, Michael Zulli

4.0

This volume is split into two parts. The first is the wake and funeral for Morpheus and is a wonderful, touching way to wrap up the series. The art style is more serious and strong, which fits perfectly. In fact, this first part of the volume had me feeling that everything was exactly the way it was supposed to be. The second half of the volume is a little strange for me. It is meant to be a wrap-up of the Hob and Shakespeare plotlines, which it is. I can't help but feel that they were a little bit unnecessary, or that they should have come first. It seems a great injustice that the series didn't end with that perfect feeling I had after the wake. Perhaps that's the point, however, since The Sandman has always felt real, and real life is rarely that clean.
