The summary says something about Sandman in it, so should I read Death after I read the Sandman series? Chris Bachalo, as inked by Mark Buckingham, is a versatile and adaptable artist, scratchy and murky for the most part, yet clean and decorative when required.

Its premise is that Death takes human form once a century, to remain grounded and in touch with humanity, [1] an idea touched upon in several other media, for example in the 1934 film Death Takes a Holiday and in the Terry Pratchett novel Reaper Man. I don't want to say much, don't want to spoil the fun- but as you can imagine this one day is full of surprizes, of characters that can only exist in a hyper-active imagination, of twists and turns.

I’ve never read anything by Gaiman that I’ve actively disliked; he just leaves me feeling like I’ve eaten a McDonald's burger rather than an actual meal. Other readers have claimed this book has problems as a standalone book, but I found it to read quite nicely on its own.
