Finished The Sandman: Seasons of Mists by Neil Gaiman.

In this collection, Dream visits Hell to free Nada, his former lover who’s been imprisoned there for ten thousand years. (Dream can hold a grudge, I’ll give him that.) What Dream finds surprises him — Lucifer has decided to close down hell and give Dream the key to the empty wasteland. Naturally, all the other gods want the key and Hell, and they all converge in Dream’s kingdom to threaten, bribe, and otherwise cajole him into giving them the key.

This is my favorite of the Sandman series so far. I thought the story was interesting, and it was fascinating to see Gaiman and the artists’ take on what the other gods would act and look like. Thor, for example, is a muscle-bound, drunken lout.

So, thumbs up.

Up next: Yet another Sandman.
