Sandman Volumes 6, 7 and 8 by Neil Gaiman, 40 pages, 256 pages, 169 pages.
A quick note. The omnibus I previously blogged about contained most of Volume 6 and therefore I am only counting the uncovered parts in this tally.
Now that the explanation is out of the way these volumes continue from where the omnibus leaves off.
In Sandman Volume 7: Brief Lives Delirium convinces her brother Dream to help her find their long missing brother Destruction. Of course, as it is with any story involving Delirium, the road to finding Destruction is a hazardous one. This volume really fleshes out Deliriums character and shows that she is more than the airhead she seems. I should also mention that Delirium is still my favorite character.
In Sandman Volume 8: Worlds End we are treated to a collection of stories told by travelers trapped in an inn named "Worlds' End, a free house". These stories are all one shots and really have nothing to do with the actual Sandman story line but are entertaining none the less.
As I had said with the omnibus this is a fantastic series that I really enjoy and look forward to reading more of.
