The Sandman, Vol. 4: Season of Mists

Much better than Dream Country.
Or so I thought. And everyone has their own taste, don't they?
But for any of you (like me) who weren't impressed with the wonky one-shot meandering weirdness of the last volume, I thought I should mention that we're back to regular weirdness in Season of the Mists.
Destiny gathers all of the siblings (except the secret missing one) because he sees that something needs to be set into motion.
And set things in motion it does.
After a dressing down from Death, Dream heads back to Lucifer's domain to right a wrong he committed many centuries ago.
And all Hell breaks loose.
For anyone interested in the spin-off character, Lucifer, this is an important volume for him. Maybe the volume, I'm not sure?
But at any rate, it's really after Lucifer leaves Hell that things start to get going in this one.
Dream is left to decide the fate of Hell as powerful entities and representative gods from many pantheons line up at his door to plead their case.
I can't say much without spoiling the story, so I won't.
This was one of the better volumes in that it had a story I was really interested in and laid out in a way that I could follow.
Recommended.

I read these super out of order as a teenager, based on whatever my library had in stock back in '03. Which meant this was the first Sandman comic (and Vertigo title) I ever read. Left my young mind a bit freaked out for a bit!

Ho-ly crap. I can see how that might warp your mind. Before the digital age, I read a lot of series out of order for the same reason.
I managed to read the last volume last somehow! I actually thought it worked kind of well out of order back then. It's a weird enough series that time jumping was the least of my worries as a reader.
You know, I actually think you're right. Every volume I've read so far could actually be self contained in a way.
this series gets better with every volume i will say and its quite philosophical..
