Matthew rejuvenated this otherwise dull arc (so far).

Desire has become annoying me at this point

Very happy to come back to the mainstream plots surrounding Dream and his family members. Listened to the audio-experience Audible Act 3 which encompasses Volumes 7-8 (Brief Lives and Worlds' End)[1], the Sandman Special #1, and other short stories from Vertigo: Winter's Edge #1 & #3 and Vertigo Preview #1.
Looking forward to more backstories and "day in the lives" for other family members such as Desire, and Despair as we've seen with Dream and Death.

Matthew "Drive on the RIGHT! You'll KILL us ALL! Drive on the goddamned RIGHT! AAAAAAGH!"
Guess who's driving Dream around as he keeps his sister company in trying to track down his missing brother? In this issue they head to a strip club, and meet not one but 2 interesting people. One of whom is an old acquaintance, already known to Morpheus.

Ishtars Tanz ist wahnsinnig gut umgesetzt und ein Höhepunkt der ganzen Serie - der Weg dorthin ist zumindest ok.

This issue started out a bit too chaotic for me visually, almost incomprehensible at times because I struggled to keep up.
But then it all picks up and it all makes sense.

Ishtar was sexy. Delirium funny.
