4.5* per questo nuovo gioiello di Gaiman. Un nuovo intenso arco narrativo (La locanda alla fine dei mondi) che tiene il piede in tutti gli universi possibili, pur restando seduto in una locanda in una notte di tempesta. A parte l'intro di Stephen King, le citazioni di questo volume sono tantissime, alcune probabilmente non le ho nemmeno collegate, sono rimaste sospese come in sogno. Alla fine, prima della consueta intervista a Gaiman, ci sono anche gli storyboard originali <3
Che aspettate a leggerlo?!?

Qué volumen tan completo, nunca imaginé que la historia de Morfeo tomara este rumbo, pero me parece muy interesante. A ver qué nos espera en los siguientes tomos.

I have a theory that says that Neil Gaiman is inherently incapable of writing anything else than pure masterpieces.

Decent end to the story. Lacking compared to the other volumes, but makes sense as this pulled together a variety of extras.

Arguably the finest artwork of the series, this encore presentation of ‘The Sandman’ series was an author’s dream (no pun intended) list of artists to celebrate this magnificent work. And, while the stories seemed to pale a bit in comparison to the art, they were no less entertaining and engaging than previous iterations. Gaiman is a master storyteller and that is on display in this volume, so much so that one of the stories is illustrated twice and I read it both times just to experience it, albeit with strikingly different art.

So, now that I’ve finished with ‘The Sandman’ (is it really finished? Time will tell.), I can say it is one of the finest graphic collections I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I do hope there’s more in the future.

While I liked seeing the same story in two different art styles, it's still the same story... twice. I also wasn't a huge fan of the Sandman Midnight Theatre story. Endless Nights was great!
