A review by kjboldon
The Wake by Neil Gaiman

5.0

One of my favorite things about the Sandman series: it ended well and worked well as a whole. The final issue, 75 The Tempest, is one of my favorite in all of comics, on its own AND within the series. It spurred me to read Shakespeare's play and see it many times. Of all Shakespeare, The Tempest is now one of my apocalypse-backpack books--the one Shakespeare play I'd take out of all of them. (But that is assuming my husband would have Hamlet in HIS apocalypse backpack. Otherwise I might have to take both. Still, if I had to choose, it would be The Tempest.)
