We return to the regular series with Season of Mists. (The latter issue, number 19, is the only comic book ever to have won a World Fantasy Award.) Death has her own bittersweet story, as she attempts to help out an agoraphobic ex-superhero. We also discover the origins of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. We meet the mother of Morpheus's son, and find out what cats dream about. Will Dream choose mercy over responsibility? Or is there another way?ĭream Country is the first story arc made up entirely of different tales. As the characters are drawn together, a vortex is discovered, a force that could destroy all dreamers and, therefore, the world. This story is intertwined with another about a young woman named Rose Walker and her search for her little brother. Three dreams have escaped The Dreaming, the villainous pair Brute and Glob, and the kindlier Fiddler's Green. The Doll's House shows us that the Dream King has not yet resolved all of the problems caused by his imprisonment. It will also teach Dream an important lesson about relying on tools, and introduce us to the other star of the series, Death. The journey will take him - and us - through the gates of hell itself. He must go on a quest to find the tools of his office: his helm, pouch and ruby. Preludes and Nocturnes begins the series. When he finally escapes he must face the changes that have gone on in his realm, and the changes in himself. Several years ago, a coven of wizards attempted to end death by taking Death captive, but captured Dream instead. Their names describe their function and the realms that they are in charge of. They are Destiny, Death, Dream, Desire, Despair, Delirium who was once Delight, and Destruction who turned his back on his duties. What do you need to know to enjoy the series? Only that there are seven brothers and sisters who have been since the beginning of time, the Endless. Following Dream of the Endless, also known as Morpheus, Onieros and many other names, we explore a magical world filled with stories both horrific and beautiful. This extremely popular series was bound into ten collections.
