serru 's review for:

The Sandman Vol. 4: Season of Mists by Neil Gaiman

3.0

---

Mixed feelings about this one. The premise is great-- Lucifer decides he is tired of ruling the underworld and leaves the key to Hell to the Sandman. Disappointingly, not much of interest happens after that, just a lot of chapters detailing why various groups of beings want Hell for themselves and Morpheus is mostly passive in how he handles things. I would have liked to see what was happening outside in the world with all the dead coming back and the demons freed. I did like the chapter about the schoolboy who befriends a ghost.
