Morpheus travels to Hell to rescue a woman he condemned there thousands of years ago. He finds that the devil has decided to leave hell, and he leaves the key to hell with Morpheus. The rest of the book is a bunch of entities trying to get the key from Morpheus. Pretty good story line and some interesting new characters. (  ) readingover50 | Jun 11, 2019 |  Season of Mists gives you a complete multi-issue storyline within a full and complex world. You're introduced to the heaven and hell, well mostly the hell, of the Endless universe. The hell concept presented is fascinating and examines the morality of humanity and the power of belief. The story itself takes a harder look at the somewhat ambiguous morality of the Morpheus. (  ) Zoes_Human | Dec 24, 2018 | This collection of issues sees Dream being gifted the key to Hell by Lucifer and dealing with the many offers that come in for the realm as a result. Dark, bleak, and with inconsistent art I was left feeling that this volume was really not my jam. That said, it is interesting to read to see Gaiman's fascination with certain types of characters and mythologies peek out in advance of his other works on the topics. I'll be continuing with the series for now but I may be ultimately deeming it as one of the Gaiman narratives that just isn't for me. (  ) MickyFine | Sep 4, 2018 | Now I understand why Sandman got to be as popular as it was, and in many ways, still is. Seasons of Mists was incredible. The stories flowed into one another smoothly, and the plot had all the best aspects of Gaiman's work intact. The classic mythologies flowed and mixed with his own in a way that you just know will come up again later. The story that began Dream Country came into play, something mentioned in passing in the first collection is now being played out in a larger way. Hell, Bast even mentioned something from a side story that one would think meant little. Gaiman can plot masterfully when he wishes - and, dear Reader, here he wishes. ( ) Lepophagus | Jun 14, 2018 | Too much of this volume read like a soap opera (bad dialogue and setup where nothing much happens). The only episode that didn't was episode IV, with the kids in the boarding school. ( ) natcontrary | May 21, 2018 | no reviews | add a review
