A review by ladyofways
Death: At Death's Door by Jill Thompson, Neil Gaiman

3.0

Basically just a retelling of the Sandman story where he gets the key to Hell and everyone wants it, but focusing on Death's POV during the whole kerfuffle. I honestly might keep it just for reference pics and variant costume ideas, since I cosplay Death at con. It was a cute story (and I admit a soft spot for the subplot about Edgar Allen Poe's love for Despair, his muse) and I liked the art a lot, plus I really liked getting more time with Despair and Delirium, but the plot itself was dispensable and relied a bit too much on copying the original Sandman comic. I confess also, I was disappointed not to see Death

kicking some demon ass at the end - having them all disappear so conveniently was a cop out
