In the final Sandman tale, Morpheus made the ultimate decision between change and death. As one journey for the Endless ends another begins for the Lord of Dreams and his family. All the final pieces come together for the final moments of the Sandman.

The final book in the original run. It ties up a few loose ends, and satisfactorily concludes the story. My only complaint is the order in which they were presented and published.  I would have preferred the the vignettes at the end had been moved to before the wake, and the series finished on that last panel of the wake. But I understand why it was done the way it was done. It was a writer saying goodbye to his work, and who am I to fault him for how he chooses do so? so?

An incredible series. Nothing could top the penultimate volume but this was a nice wrap up of some storylines.

This work concludes the Sandman series. Morpheus is dead. As his family and friends gather to mourn him, a new Lord of the Dreaming begins to rebuild his realm. The volume ends with The Tempest, a flashback to a moment in Morpheus' past, concerning a bargain made with William Shakespeare.
