How I Got It: Library Loan

Written by Jill Thompson; Art and Cover by Thompson A manga digest, printed in black, white, and gray tones, featuring appearances by Sandman and all his siblings. In an original story that parallels the events of SANDMAN: SEASON OF MIST, the minions of Hell end up in Death's apartment. Sisters Delirium and Despair decide to throw a party for the dead - which quickly gets out of control. It's up to Dream's older sister Death to figure out how to save the day and the afterlife...not to mention the carpet.

This is cute, and that's the problem.  I loved Gaiman's Sandman series for its dark humor and bleak outlook.  This manga style volume focusing on Death makes her too cute.  She loses all her mystery and cunning in this volume.  I just couldn't stay with the book all the way through.  It's too cute.  I prefer Gaiman's volumes.
