42nd: Season of Mists, Sandman Vol. 3
August 11, 2021
We are back to discuss Sandman! This is the fourth of our episodes discussing Sandman as we read through the entire story.
Season of Mists is possibly the most mythology-heavy and plot-heavy arcs of Sandman. We dive into this story of the burden caused by the Key to Hell in this episode.
This is a strange story arc to us in many ways. It doesn’t have the thematic takeaways to it that previous stories have had, at least on first glance. We dig a little deeper to see if we can reveal any.
We even find a lot to enjoy in the middle issue of this story, about the child away at boarding school, that reinforces some of the central themes of this story arc.
This story also expands the world of Sandman in some interesting ways, and leaves a lot more open plot threads than any story so far. We discuss how this effects this story, and how it places this story within the greater series.
Hop in and enjoy the episode!
