In many ways, Season of Mists is the pinnacle of the Sandman experience. After a brief intermission of four short stories (collected as Dream Country) Gaiman continued the story of the Dream King that he began in the first two volumes. Here in volume 4, we find out about the rest of Dream's Endless family (Desire, Despair, Destiny, Delirium, Death, and a seventh missing sibling). We find out the story behind Nada, Dream's first love, whom we met only in passing during Dream's visit to hell in the first book. When Dream goes back to hell to resolve unfinished business with Nada, he finds her missing along with all of the other dead souls. The answer to this mystery lies in Lucifer's most uncharacteristic decision--a delicious surprise.
There is something grandiose about this story, in which each chapter ends with such suspense and drive to read the next. This book is best summed up by a toast taken from the second chapter: "To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due." --Jim Pascoe
Kurzbeschreibung
/Kelley Jones, Mike Dringenberg, Matt Wagner et al Acclaimed writer Neil Gaiman sends The Sandman on a journey into Hell in the hope of redeeming the soul of his old love. Instead of releasing the damned soul, though, Lucifer turns over all of Hell to the Lord of Dreams. Beginning with a prologue that introduces the Sandman's entire family, known as the Endless, this volume provides an excellent opportunity for new readers to enter the realm of the D

Die gesamte Serie Sandman von Neil Gaiman ist ein Meisterwerk, aber mit dem Handlungsbogen Seasons of Mist ist Gaiman auf seinem Höhepunkt angelangt.
Nachdem er sich am Anfang der Serie Luzifer selbst zum Feind gemacht hat zwingen die Umstände Morpheus zu einer Rückkehr in die Hölle. Er erwartet einen Kampf, verabschiedet sich sicherheitshalber von all seinen Freunden, aber am Ende kommt alles ganz anders als er gedacht hat. Denn Luzifer hat einen ganz speziellen Empfang für Morpheus vorbereitet. Einen der ihm schwerer zu schaffen machen wird als jeder Kampf.
Diese Story hat einfach alles: Eine wunderbare Geschichte, originelle Charaktere, und die gewohnte Gaiman-Magie, von der man meint in einen Traum gezogen worden zu sein anstatt das ganze auf einfachen Comic-Seiten zu lesen.
Fazit: Ein Muß in jedem Comic-Regal!

Format:Taschenbuch
Neil Gaiman just may be the best writer in the world. SEASON OF MISTS deals with Morpheus' (the Sandman) regret over his treatment of an ancient lover, whom he has consigned to Hell. It also deals with the ennui of Lucifer, who is getting tired of Hell after ten billion years. Gaiman's Lucifer is chillingly charming--at one point, he quotes Milton's famous "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven." When another character misattributes the quote, Lucifer replies "WE didn't say it. Milton said it. And he was blind." Gaiman's mythology is refreshing, brilliant, and most of all NOT LIKE OTHER COMIC BOOKS. He is a postmodernist fantasist--his work is closer to James Joyce than Stan Lee. Gaiman is also one of the new breed of English comic artists--along with Grant Morrison (DOOM PATROL), Alan Moore (WATCHMEN) and Frank Miller (SIN CITY, THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS), he has re-written the rule that comics can't be intelligent, literate and, most of all, entertaining for adults. SANDMAN: SEASON OF MISTS is a highly recommended work, as are all of the SANDMAN books.

Even The Lord of Dreams is not without fail. And so he has to admit, it has been a mistake to damn a young woman into hell, who rejected to stay with him to all eternity. So he sets of to hell to unchain and to release her, being prepared that it will be a quite difficult problem. And thus it happended, but entirely different than he has imagined...
Great, a 'Sandman-book' again with a continuous story, which also refers to former books. It's exciting and the chronicle stimulates thinking about the existence of hell: How would it be without hell? What would be about heaven? And what about all the unfortunate souls?
It's a fantastic story with a surprising twist, which in my opinion slides a little bit too much towards Happy-End. Someway I have imagined the solution will be more dramatic. But maybe this depends on the other books I've read in the weeks before. Too many bloodthirsty thrillers :-)
The drawings are - like always - exceptional good, so you really sink into the atmosphere of this book. Great stuff!

Disappointed
Seen as a whole, this one really was a disappointment. While the boy's school episode was really scary, the scenes in Sandman's home and in Hell are boring and without much... Lesen Sie weiter...
