Honestly the first underwhelming issue.
The big pluses are Remiel and Dumas coming to terms with holding the gates of hell and the panels during Dream’s fight with Azazel.
Otherwise, this feels like a really tight wrap up on a big plot and rushes to get to Dream’s reckoning with Nada.

Can’t wait for the conclusion and the fight with Azazel was great.

I gave most of the issues in this story arc 5 stars, because they hit every chord, from suspense, to humour to thought provoking-ness (provocation?) perfectly.
In a plot twist that initially seems like an absent-minded grasping at a loose thread, the Sandman has a sudden attack of conscience about his decision to condemn a former lover to Hell. And so, thousands of years later, decides to save her, leading to a sequence of events that seems the underworld fall under new (despairing, traumatised, reluctant) management.
The story arc engaged me, from the other-realm characters who demanded ownership of Hell (faeries, really?) to the one-shot about a boy at a boarding school witnessing the return of the exiled dead.
It also had a strong convictions about the nature of the idea of Hell, which, on the whole, I think you'd agree with.

"Hell is heaven's reflection. It is Heaven's shadow. They define each other. Reward and punishment; hope and despair. ... There must be a hell for without hell, heaven has no meaning."

A little dose of Sandman before going to bed! I missed it.

The Sandman #27, "Season of Mists: Chapter 6"
Dream is approached by the angels Duma and Remiel, who state that Hell must exist to provide Heaven it's meaning. Deciding that the key isn't his to give, Dream acquiesces and gives up the key to the angels. Meeting his guests in his hall, Dream announces that the key won't be bartered off to any of them, which leads to conflict with Azazel. But Dream is able to outmaneuver Azazel and rescue Nada from the clutches of the former demons from Hell, and is able to placate his remaining guests.
This issue feels a bit like a deus ex machina with respect to how this arc is resolved. Interesting concepts with thoughtful dialogue, but overall it's hard not to see the "Season of Mists" arc as a bit underwhelming. Kelley Jones delivers for the most part on the art front, but the second half of this arc is a bit dry on that front as well since the story doesn't really call for anything that accentuates Jones' frenetic style.

Obwohl weiterhin großartig unterhaltend und auch dem Nachdenken förderlich, ist die Auflösung des Streits um die Hölle für mich eine große Enttäuschung, da in meinen Augen so viel narratives Potenzial die Toilette runtergespült wird. Aber Gaiman kann ich an der Stelle kaum böse sein, ich bin mir sicher, er wird mich hier weiter bestens unterhalten.

"Personally, I figure the best I can hope to get out of these shenanigans is excellent wine, and great sex. "
No truer words were spoken than those of the most pragmatic of all that came to petition Dream for the key to Hell. In this chapter a deus ex machina makes the decision!

Well that was fun, why would anyone challenge dream in his own domain and seriously, the creator is a complete..... Well I have strong feelings again him.

La resolución del tema de la llave me ha parecido...decepcionante. ¿Todo eso para al final acabar así?

I will say, addition #4 to the series is the first time that (although I was happy to explore more content in the Sandman world,) I felt a sense of anxiety wanting to get back to the characters and ongoing stories instead of immersing in the smaller side plots Season of Mists has to offer.

The one where God installs his most loyal angels as rulers in Hell ...
