"The Wake" is a collection of the final six issues of the iconic Sandman comic book series. The first three issues focus on the wake of Morpheus, the King of Dreams, where characters from the series come together to remember and honor the fallen immortal. Through eulogies that mix respect, praise, and criticism, the complex character of the Dream Lord is revealed to the world.
In the concluding chapter of "The Wake," readers are taken back to an earlier time in the Sandman saga. An aging William Shakespeare, after completing his final play "The Tempest" at the request of Morpheus, reflects on his life, struggles, tragedies, and a bargain he made with the Dream Lord long ago. In a poignant moment, Morpheus confesses, "I am the King of Stories, but I have no story of my own."
With a perfect blend of melancholy, tragedy, hope, and determination, "The Wake" beautifully illustrates and eloquently concludes one of the most extraordinary stories in comic book history. This collection stands as a testament to the brilliance of Sandman and defies Morpheus' own words, leaving readers captivated and eager for more.
