Review: The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones (The Sandman #9)

User Review  - Sam - Goodreads

A truly beautiful twisted ending to Morpheus in this penultimate volume of The Sandman. I delighted in the writing and bore with the new graphic style. The surrealist approach to Dream's climax wowed me and the spoiler-laden introduction failed to quench my hope until the final page.

User Review  - Mabomanji - Goodreads

I didn't expect this ending, the story became really interesting and the drawings were cool. I really liked this one and it's filled with so many feeligs of guilt, anger, sadness and loss. Now i'm eager to open the next one !
