The Sandman Vol. 10

The Wake

Plot

That story only lasts for first three issues, though. The remaining three of this volume are single-issue stories. 'Sunday Morning' revisits one of the series' most interesting characters, the immortal Hob Gadling. In 'Exiles' a banished Chinese wise man embarks on a strange path that leads into Dream's realm. The issue, which is told in Analect-ish verse, has little to do with the greater story, yet it is always delightful to see Gaiman mesh Sandman with indigenous story-telling traditions.
