The Sandman Vol. 10: The Wake (New Edition)

Product Information

The effect of following up the mostly-Marc-Hempel-drawn “Kindly Ones” arc with Michael Zulli is a bit like following The Clash with Mozart, but that’s surely the point. The frenetic but rough beauty of one gives way to the elegant virtuoso structure of the other. And since “The Wake” is a time for mourning, and also the equivalent of a gallery walk around the Sandman universe, the visual Mozart amplifies the power of the story Gaiman tells.

I am that giggling-dangerous-totally-bloody-psychotic-menace-to-life-and-limb, more like it." a b Thomas, Roy; Thomas, Dann( w),Argondezzi, Vince; Bair, Michael( p), DeZuniga, Tony; Bair, Michael( i)."It's a Grimmworld After All" Infinity, Inc.,no.50(May 1988).

The series follows a tragic course in which Dream, having learned a great deal from his imprisonment, tries to correct the things he has done wrong in the past. Ultimately, this causes him to mercy kill his own son, which leads to his own death at the hands of the Furies. Dream, having found himself a replacement early on in Daniel Hall, dies in issue No. 69 (July 1995). The remaining issues deal with Dream's funeral, Hob Gadling choosing to remain immortal in spite of Dream's death, and two stories from the past. The series wraps with the story of William Shakespeare creating his other commission for Dream, The Tempest, [27] his last work not in collaboration with other writers. Rauch, Stephen (2003).

The lunatic, the lover, and the poet are of imagination all compact — One sees more devils than vast hell can hold. That is the madman. The Lover, all as frantic, sees Helen's beauty in a brow of egypt. The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven. And, as imagination bodies forth the forms of things unknown, the poet's pen turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing a local habitation and a name." Kit, Borys (March 4, 2016).

But the price of getting what you want, is getting what once you wanted. It's like, that people … well, that everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world — no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds … not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.

But if you’ve sat through the extended editions of Lord of the Rings, you know that the endings upon endings feel properly paced and well-deserved. The same is true for Neil Gaiman and Sandman. Though it sometimes feels as if the entire second half of the series is about saying goodbye, “The Wake” and the two single-issue stories that follow are earned and resonant. And while they may not be strictly necessary—I think you could end your reading of Sandman with The Kindly Ones, drop the book, and strut away like a champ, though that would be weird and unnecessary unless your name is “Neil” and “Gaiman”—the stories collected in The Wake provide closure to the larger story and additional flavor to the Sandman mythology.
