Andrew: I wish that I'd watched the TV show Lucifer which apparently canonically is a sandman spinoff. He says there's an at the end of this issue when he officially leaves hell that is the jumping off point for a seven year spin off comic written by Mike Kerry that then became a TV show right yes yeah. The pitch for the TV show is literally the devil soft crimes and this is during the Golden Age of bone-skeletons.
Welcome to our newest show-within-a-show! We're working our way through Neil Gaiman's signature graphic novel series THE SANDMAN. Some Patreon supporters get these episodes monthly, but every two months we'll combine them for general consumption.
In Episode 3: DREAM COUNTRY, Gaiman needed a bit of a break after the Doll's House arc, and the result was a series of one-shots that contributed bits and pieces to the series' mythology without telling one larger story. Doesn't mean there isn't a lot to talk about, though!
In Episode 4: SEASON OF MISTS, there is a plot! Specifically, a plot about the Devil retiring and giving Dream the key to Hell and a bunch of other supernatural beings pleading their case for why they should get that sweet piece of real estate. Also a little kid sees some ghosts.
