Sadly, it's a "missing person" storyline, and those usually annoy me. Dream and Delirium set out to find Destruction, who decided to leave the Endless 300 years ago. It's annoying that Delirium feels the need to ask most of her siblings for help, and most of them say no anyway, not really doing much for the story other than involving them. The theme here is change, mortality, the length of a life. There were some good nuggets here. Not my favorite Sandman but still pretty great. Mervyn Pumpkinhead though! (Only because he somewhat reminds me of my fave -- Return to Oz... but that is because I feel most of Gaiman's stuff is heavily influenced by Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland.) Can't believe I only have #8, 9 & 10 left to go! ( ) Neil Gaiman changes things up again, giving us one long quest in this volume. It is still made up of several intertwining stories. As usual, there are rich characters and deep thoughts about life, death, change, that sort of thing. The art ranges from sketchy to artistic and Peter Straub's afterword wraps it all in a neat bow. Continuing with this great series, in this issue, Dream and Delirium (my favorite endless character) go on a mission to find their brother, Destruction. Strange things happen along the way and a price is to be paid in order for them to find their brother. Wonderful sad story and the graphics were ok but the story outshines the graphics in this one. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Older and more powerful than the gods themselves, the Endless are a dysfunctional family of cosmic beings that have ruled over the realms of dream, desire, despair, destiny, destruction, death and delirium since the beginning of time. But three hundred years ago, one of the mythical beings gave up his duties and left his realm, never to be seen again. BRIEF LIVES tells the tales of Delirium and older brother Dream on a mission to find their missing sibling, as they encounter immortal humans and various deities while trying to locate the prodigal Destruction. But as their adventure draws Dream into a final, tragic confrontation with his son Orpheus, the eternal being learns the true meaning of fate and consequences.
