![]() ![]() The opening scenes of Brief Lives paint Delirium as somewhat of a pariah, a pest to the other Endless. It’s everything Marvel’s Eternals thought it was, only it’s actually worthwhile. Gaiman treats us to a road trip with Dream and Delirium. But throughout, brother and sister begin to understand one another in new, meaningful ways.īrief Lives now sits among my favorite Sandman stories. As they venture through the Waking world, the people they encounter along the way meet untimely deaths, derailing their trip. But Morpheus, aka Dream, is hurting on the heels of a break-up and agrees to join her, though with ulterior motives. She first goes to Despair and Desire, hoping they’ll join her on her quest, though they both decline. Destruction was the only one of the Endless to treat her with kindness, and Delirium wishes to reconnect with him. Delirium seeks Destruction, their long-lost brother. Sandman Volume 7: Brief Lives brings us on a road trip with two of the Endless: Morpheus and his little sister, Delirium. What started as an attempt to get a comic baseline has apparently evolved into a completionist obsession The Netflix adaptation looms, lighting a fire under my ass to plow through the remainder of the series so I know all there is to know about Morpheus and his entourage of mystical friends and enemies. Welcome back once again to the Dreaming, where we continue our jaunt through Neil Gaiman’s Sandman. ![]()
