pho_ar 's review for:
The Sandman Vol. 4: Season of Mists
by Neil Gaiman
Dream goes to hell to right a wrong; gets the key to hell; and chaos ensues, basically sums it up. There is a family meeting in there too.
All jokes aside, I really like the depiction of hell as something people choose for themselves out of guilt and not something they are forced into,allowing them to leave at any time. And I really enjoyed how this applied to Lucifer as he decides he has ruled hell long enough. It's very interesting. I also liked how this concept is carried on with Charles and Rowan, when Charles posits that hell is "something you carry with you..." and not a place, while Rowan posits that it is a place(they are both right in a sense).
Besides the commentary about hell, I also like how Dream kinda sums up life and fate by saying there are paths we choose, paths that are chosen for us, and paths we do not choose, but we do what we must. I found that outlook very interesting and just true to life in general.
The cherry on top of this wonderful work was the banquet shenanigans and how we get to see the congregation of all these mythological figures. It was honestly so cool and so well done, that it just works.
Also, the fits for the family meeting were fire.
And, as per usual, the art is spectacular. It's always such a feast for the eyes.
