I've read Sandman all the way through four or five times at this point but somehow I'd never read the two Death miniseries. After nabbing it on Shopgoodwill, now I have.

No two ways about it, this is great shit. In the first miniseries, Death becomes human for a day and winds up looking for Aunt Hattie's missing heart. In the second, there's trouble brewing with Hazel and Foxglove.

Death is one of the more interesting members of the Endless family and Gaiman writes the shit out of her here, although the focus is more on Hazel and Foxglove in the second tale. it's interesting seeing how much Chris Bachallo's art changes between the first miniseries and the second. Two Sandman issues are also collected with this along with some odds and ends like the Death story from Winter's Tale and the Death AIDS special.

Well, I wasn't planning on rereading the Sandman this year but it's starting to feel like things are heading in that direction. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
