Mencanta el humor de estos comics. En primera instancia van todos serios y atemorizantes, y luego se sacan payasadas debajo de la manga, casi todas a nivel gráfico, que los Eternos me bendigan a Neil Gaiman<3

This was a pretty good volume, but I might be biased because I almost automatically love anything with Lucifer in it. I think this might have actually been the last volume I read the first time I tried this series because I was like "What? There's a Lucifer series?" and then I was just GONE.
Also I am Desire. Desire is me.
Seriously, Dream is such a douche. Even when he's trying to apologize he's like 'mmm ...maybe ...I might have overreacted ...possibly ...people have suggested to me ...' BUT THEN
YES! SLAP! HIM!
Hopefully this is the beginning of some actual character development for Dream because like I said I don't think I actually got past this volume before. Onward!

I read and rated this last month, but I wanted to add a note about it. The tale that Gaiman weaves here is quite something. A few things from the previous stories pop up and make a bit of sense now. The characters are not what I would call run-of-the-mill or stereotypical. I continue to be amazed by the imaginative mastery in this series.
I get the sense that this is where Gaiman really got comfortable with the feel of the series. The character development jumps off the page; not just Dream, but all the gods from the various mythologies. He is able to do this because the story itself is fairly simple and straightforward, Dream wants to right a 10000-year wrong by freeing a woman from Hell. Complications arise when Lucifer does him one better by handing the key to Hell to Dream to do with as he likes. The competition by the other gods for possession of the key, and how Dream ultimately decides what to do, is what makes this volume memorable. However, I think the most powerful segment is Episode 4 where we don't see Dream at all; just a small boy who must deal with some of the inhabitants of Hell who have come back to Earth (Lucifer having kicked out everyone from Hell when he relinquished the key).
The artwork is magnificent, as always, with Kelley Jones doing most of the pencilling, with pencilling and inking help from A-list artists such as P. Craig Russell, Matt Wagner, and Malcolm Jones III.

Another 5 star read for me.
I wonder if the up coming Sandman TV show will deal with the hell, Lucifer plot line?
Spoiler
While different from the TV version in that Lucifer left Hell to Dream in the books, in the TV show he just left for Earth. It's easy to see why the TV changed the storyline and maybe they didn't have the rights to the Sandman character it'd have been interesting.I wonder if the up coming Sandman TV show will deal with the hell, Lucifer plot line?
What can i say? Gaiman's Sandman is never disappointing, i guess. I'm only headed to the fifth volume but it has been a 5 star ride so far. I think i specially liked this volume because we get to know a bit more of Lord Dream's personality. His display of power towards the demons, his ability for feeling mercy and even regret and fear are key points in this book that made me love Sandman even more.
The appearance of many mythological characters that we all know, make this volume a great read. I specially enjoyed Loki and what was happening to him before he travels to the Dream realm with Odin and Thor. And lets face it, Lucifer himself giving Dream the key of hell is a great start for a excellent story.
