ABOUT
The first story introduces the young, pale, perky, and genuinely likable Death. One day in every century, Death walks the earth to better understand those to whom she will be the final visitor. Today is that day. As a young mortal girl named Didi, Death befriends a teenager and helps a 250-year-old homeless woman find her missing heart. What follows is a sincere musing on love, life, and (of course) death.
In the second story, a rising star in the music world wrestles with revealing her true sexual orientation, just as her lover is lured into the realm of Death, where Death herself should make an appearance. A practical, honest, and intelligent story that illuminates ""the miracle of death.""
Plus, Death's first appearance from The Sandman series, her tale from The Sandman: Endless Nights, and much more!

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
