In comparison to the previous two Absolute Sandman volumes, the focus of this one is the regular story tather than the miscellany at the finale. But, really, what do you expect when the graphic novels/comics contained here are the final ones of the series. The Sandman's story has finally come to a conclusion, and it's ne'er impossible to look away from the stunning crash.

The miscellany section included this time did have some high points, despite the focus on the comics; I rather enjoyed the small collection of Little Endless sketches and the resulting statuettes, and the other merchandise was quite a revelation as well. If only I hadn'rt been really young when the series was in its heyday! ( )

Well, this is of course, brilliant. But why? It occurs to me that the world Gaiman set up for himself was in fact the perfect tool for him: He could incorporate any mythology, religion, genre, location or time and still make it all self-consistent, hence allowing his imagination to go wherever it wanted or needed to. This particular volume is a great showcase for this variety and it is enhanced by the various changes in art style accompanying the changes in mood, atmosphere, character and location.

Bring on Vol. IV! ( )

Oh don't worry, 'Sandman's still good. The series simply couldn't sustain the level of the first 20 issues or the superb "Season of Mists" and "A Game of You" arcs found in 'Absolute Sandman, Vol. 2'.

Collecting issues #40-56, plus the usual bonus features, the two arcs here are "Brief Lives" and "World's End", the first beginning with a separate story detailing Dream's son Orpheus' beginnings and continuing through a bizarre road trip Dream takes with Delirium, ostensibly in search of their missing brother. I feel like I'm alone when I say I was underwhelmed by it. As potentially satisfying the revelation of the mysterious seventh Endless could have been, I had to fight to keep the glaze off my eyeballs sometimes. The only part I really enjoyed out of the whole situation was Despair's relationship with the missing brother. Also: Everybody Gets a Pet!

Gaiman's often faded The Sandman into the background of his own title for the interests of a greater story, so I have no problem with the extremes that that took place - more so than the quartet of issues that featured the Emperor Augustus and Element Girl with only the most tenuous connections to the Endless - in these issues. "World's End" was very fragmented. Narratives in narratives in narratives, nesting to an almost Conrad-like level where the very idea that one person is telling this to a crowd of strangers in an Inn was ridiculous. As much as I appreciated the lateral view of Gaiman's take on the DC universe, it's a given that these smaller stories don't have the success that the grand over-arching story-lines have. Even with the big splash at the conclusion of "World's End" I wasn't left feeling much.

I'm sure that 'Absolute Sandman, Vol. 4' will tie these strands more strongly together, but for now this collection is where the series starts to plateau. Nothing lost, but nothing gained either.

My favorite in the series thus far. The stories are poignant and the artwork is gorgeous. I'm already on the wait list for volume 4. ( )

The third massive collection of Sandman graphic novels is a very even volume, with almost every chapter telling an interesting story, many of them weaving together fabulously. The two main plot threads in this one are the tale of Orpheus, who was fathered by Dream, and of a number of travelers, stranded at the World's End Inn, telling stories to pass the time away. Dark and compelling. ( )
