    Guest-starring Death from SANDMAN! Yes, you read that right! Death! From SANDMAN! In ACTION COMICS! Lex Luthor finds himself literally at Death's door, which leads to a fascinating look not only into the mind of one of the all-time greatest villains, but also at what Death means in the DC Universe... And in the JIMMY OLSEN co-feature, an alien race has chosen Metropolis to be the host of their millennial celebration! And who better to show them around town than James Bartholomew Olsen? But when the alien princess gets wasted and her brother starts picking bar fights, it's up to Jimmy to get things under control before all of Metropolis is destroyed!

    Is Lex Luthor dead? Well, he may be since Death (From the series Sandman) has crossed over into Action Comics! The Black Ring Part 5 continues in one of the most intriguing Action Comics stories in years!   The Good Where to start? I was incredibly leery about Death crossing over into the book, since Vertigo and DC characters are so different from each other in many ways. However, after reading the first few pages, I knew this was a dynamite issue. This is a great introduction to non-...

    The major problem with is issue is that it is a marketing stunt.  It worked since I am in the minority of not being blown away by this issue.  There are a lot of 5 Star reviews being given to this comic and I believe that is too high.  I did enjoy the issue, but was not floored, even given a 4 star review may have been too high, but that is what this is getting from me.   Death of the Endless does not serve a real purpose in this comic.

How could a mainstream DC book ever do justice to Death? In a world where characters come and go in and out of the land of the living, how could Gaiman's mythos be shown with any dignity or gravitas? How would someone else write Death? I waited months for this book, and let's just say there aren't that man...
