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

4.0

Typical comic book plot line really...though it had it's moments (Like finding out that dream had cast an ex lover into hell (that shows a different side indeed). In short, death guilts dream into releasing an ex lover from hell but to do so he has to go through Lucifer and...well i won't ruin it.

It also started to annoy me in this one how the endless aren't really gods but not quite human. They are very emotional, petty, squabbling things that go through all the sorts of drama that humans do but of course...they aren't quite there, sort of like the greek gods, frequently meddling in human affairs and act just like us...but of course they are gods. They hang in this middle zone which can be frustrating as hell but it also makes the story that much more tantalizing.

I did love the interactions between death and dream they always make for good reading, the personalties contrast so greatly (although he is quite angsty in this one, though i find it charming when gaiman lets dream get that way haha). It's no doubt that they are the closest siblings in the family.

I really liked the art in this one as well. If i had it my way the whole series would look more like this. Alas...
