The Sandman Vol. 4: Season of Mists by Neil Gaiman
5.0
Sandman continues pushing into new territory as we get a confrontation I wasn't expecting. Lucifer and Dream.
See it starts off with Dream and all his siblings getting together. He reflects on his pass action of sending Nada, a mortal he once loved to hell. In doing so he decides he must travel to hell to rescue her. A typical mission of a "hero" on his way to save his long lost "lover" for condemning her to hell turns into a very interesting "Who rules what now" in a way I never expected.
The first half is great, but it's the second half that elevates this to new heights. When Dream has to decide who will take over hell. This creates a lot of piece of shit gods/monsters coming out of the woodwork to try and claim their right to the domain. This also leaves Dream to make some big choices and very interesting ones.
My only negative is issue 4 I believe, which felt so out of left field. I don't even believe it was written by Gaiman. It was about a boy who I believe could see the dead and gets bullied to the point of something happening. It wasn't bad but smacked right between two major arcs did it no favors and my least interesting part.
Still, this was amazing. A very easy 4.5 out of 5.
