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 M...
Mind-blowing, epic, ballsy, perfect - whatever the label, I agree with Harlan Ellison. The Sandman Volume Four: Season of Mists is awesome. Some readers had claimed this volume exceeds in excellence [b:The Sandman, Vol. 2: The Doll's House|25099|The Sandman, Vol. 2 The Doll's House|Neil Gaiman|http...
