I love anything to do with the Sandman universe especially the Endless, Death is an interesting and understated protagonist. Casting Death itself as an affable teenage goth is a master stroke. Death is a young girl & her approach is subtle, she is the end of all things and has duality in that she is also an important part of birth. It's great to see the early work of Chris Bachalo I have always been a fan of his since his run on Generation X & then the X men, his art is ornate and decorative a t...

Now this was a story about Death, of the Endless. She loves us, and she's here to remind us to actually live. It's amazing how easily we forget that.

It was good experience reading this comic. There were parts where it got boring and obvious but it had its unique touch in the end anyhow. The comic was made really well, though the concept was fine, as well as the story lie for one could do too much more than that concept. The characters were good and so was the end. Goodread

"Can I ask a stupid question?""Sure. Ask away.""It's sort of more than one question. But... Look, um... Why do we hurt? Why do we die? Why isn't life good all the time? Why isn't it fair?""Those aren't stupid questions, Hazel. For some people they're the only questions that matter.""Does that mean you won't answer them?""Sure, I'll answer. But it's kind of a big subject, and it's got lots of answers, and the answers don't really mean anything-- They aren't stupid questions but they could just as...

The storyline is basicly as follows: Young lesbian mother strikes a deal with Death to save her child - at the same time her partner is pursuing her career as a rock star and that put a strain on their relationship. But Death teaches them the ultimate lesson - both love and life takes sacrifices.It kind of reminded me of one of my favourite Hans Chrstian Andersen stories The story of a mother.I actually liked this one even better than the first in the series - so it's five stars plus.

As great as the first time that I read it! This the collected edition of the story “Death: The Time of your Life” with an introduction written by the actress, Claire Danes, who is a personal friend of Neil Gaiman, and she was the lead actress in the film adaptation of “Stardust” (another story by Neil Gaiman).Creative Team:Writer: Neil GaimanIllustrators: Chris Bachalo & Mark BuckinghamLetterer: Todd Klein (since he is the best letterer in the business, always it’s relevant to mention that he

I have a bit of a thing for Death. I really like the concept behind the character so much, and, well, I think she’s rather lovely. Rather than death becoming an idea associated with negativity; it is something to be embraced and accepted. It is a natural part of life; thus, she is relaxed and very mellow. She does not need to give those at their end much coercion to go with her. Her calming presence is all they need. She’s also rather wise:“People don’t bore me, I like people.” “Really? All of t...

Okay, no! (view spoiler)[ Death should be impartial, just taking whoever time it is. Not that someone has a grand speech and she's just like, fine, I'll take the guy over there! (hide spoiler)] Minor, minor and personal issue. Don't mind me. This book and the previous one, were totally awesome. Plus this story needed more Death in it, or more death? I'm just so sad that this is just so short. I would love the Death to have a longer series. She's one of my fave characters. I so much enjoy Gaiman'...

I admire this rather than like it, which means I appreciate very much the beauty of the story and the illustrations, but ultimately don't feel moved by it. I think the difference between this and the earlier Death: The High Cost of Living is how the first book dealt with far broader concerns and themes, rather than just the single story of Foxglove and Hazel that appears in this one. In this case, the problem faced by the protagonists--a life is saved at the cost of a life--is really specific to...

I know I keep saying it, but Neil Gaiman is awesome! The characters he creates and stories he writes are amazing. Death is fantastic. She is truly original. This volume is wonderful. I enjoy reading about the Sandman universe characters.

A nice, short story that doesn't actually feature the main character (Death) very much at all.It's probably best to think of this as a tangent book to the Sandman series, as it deals mostly with the characters from those books.That said, it works fairly well as a stand-alone story, and I think most anyone could read this by itself and still enjoy it quite a bit.

I loved the concept -- I'm going to try the first "Death..." and see how it is. This one started out strong but didn't live up to Death's potential as a character, in my opinion.

Charming. It's easy to understand why Death is such a popular character.Library copy

I’m not a rereader. I read, epic, copious amounts of mostly recent and future (thanks to Netgalley) books, but seldom do I want to revisit a book already read. This was an exception. Many moons ago I was positively obsessed with Sandman, it rekindled my love of reading and provided me with so much entertainment and delight. Not just the main novels, but the numerous spin offs too, the main ones of which were probably the Death graphic novels. Gaiman’s cryptic gothette, she is nearly as famous as...

In Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman universe, Death is not a “tall guy with a bone face, like a skeletal monk, with a scythe and an hourglass and a big white horse and a penchant for playing chess with Scandinavians” (cliché much, Sexton Furnival). Gaiman’s interpretation of Death is exactly the concept’s opposite: a quirky, perky Goth girl with a jovial demeanor, a down-to-earth aura lingering about her, a sunny smile, and the Egyptian symbol of life dangling around her neck. As if that paradox is not...

Even though some people might be upset that this is supposed to be a book 'about' Death and she's barely in it, I think that's kind of the point because a lot of Death's more standalone stuff is really focused more on the people she interacts with and that's because she just straight up likes people. She likes meeting them and hearing about their lives and very occasionally even bending her rules to help them out a little bit. I really enjoyed this story but if you are looking for something that...

Loved it. RTC :)

Another story of death, with Death as a character in it! Nice short story, but Death wasn't featured as much as in the first one.The artwork is stunning in this one! The drawings are, still, a bit old-school but the general artwork is amazing!It loses a star because the story was not something extraordinary, but it was cool...

Morpheus' sister, Death, returns for a second solo outing in a haunting tale of music, mortality, friendship and the power of love in the face of death. In the hands of most ordinary writers, this story would've been a disaster. It juggles a myriad of complex issues, such as sexuality, the fleeting nature of fame, the multiple meanings of love, desire, and commitment, and the value of friendship and life. But this Gaiman we're talking about so rest assured, he's going to take us for a ride that

Death: The Time of Your Life is another story which includes Hazel and Foxglove, their son, and Death. You need to have read Death: The High Cost of Living and the volume of the main series which involves them, or you won't really get what the big deal is. It's quite a strange story, in which Hazel actually makes a deal with Death -- something apparently unheard of, and which certainly doesn't seem to fit into The Sandman canon. It basically has a message about/from Death: that she and her job,
