The Sandman #46: Brief Lives Part 6

The Sandman (Single Issues)

by Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean (Cover Art), Vince Locke (Inker)

Dream begs out of Delirium's quest to find their missing brother--which leads to Delirium locking herself up in solitude. However, big sister Death is none to pleased with her brother's actions and confronts him in "Brief Lives" Part 6!

"Six: Life Isn't Pleasant, Petrified-The Parting of the Ways-The Trouble with Mortals-Dreamings of Meeting or Meetings of Dreaming?-The Trouble with Gods-Mervyn Sets Him Straight-"Have You Got Anything with A Happy Ending?"-Tempus Frangit"

Destruction writes poetry. He still has not been found by his family. Dream leaves Delirium and they both go back to their realms. Dream seeks out Bast, the Egyptian cat goddess, who once claimed to know where to find Destruction; she was lying. Delirium closes off her realm, so Death has Dream go to her. They make-up, and decide to go after Destruction again.

Very happy to come back to the mainstream plots surrounding Dream and his family members. Listened to the audio-experience Audible Act 3 which encompasses Volumes 7-8 (Brief Lives and Worlds' End)[1], the Sandman Special #1, and other short stories from Vertigo: Winter's Edge #1 & #3 and Vertigo Preview #1.

Looking forward to more backstories and "day in the lives" for other family members such as Desire, and Despair as we've seen with Dream and Death.

Gostei bastante desta história, pois a personagem Bast tem papel importante, lembrando que ela tem uma aparência felina e reina uma cidade de gatos. Como admiradora destes felinos, gostei desta parte.
No final da edição, na coluna Palavras na Areia, existe uma prévia da minissérie Morte: O Preço da Vida, e esta me pareceu bem interessante.

Bast wakes on the floor of he sleeping place. Her dream fades as she wakes. She remembers little of it. There was somebody she really liked somebody in difficulty ... She couldn't help them.

Morpheus tries to figure out who is stopping them from finding Destruction but his inquiries come to nought. Delirium has closed off her realm. Now he has to make things right.

So viele kleine Szenen von Destruction und Barnabas über Dream mit Bast, Lucien und Pumpkinhead und natürlich Delirium und Dream, die voller Gefühl und Gespür für den Moment ins Schwarze treffen. Es passiert streng genommen nicht viel, aber es bewegt um so mehr.
