Best Sandman Story Arcs

Preludes and Nocturnes is the opening arc of Neil Gaiman Sandman, establishing Dream, his realm, and his supporting cast in a story that ranges from horror to mythology to quiet introspection within a single volume.

Season of Mists is widely considered the greatest single arc of Sandman, Dream returning to Hell to free a former lover and finding himself at the center of a diplomatic crisis between every pantheon in existence.

Brief Lives follows Dream and his sister Delirium searching the world for their missing brother Destruction, a road trip through mythology that is the most emotionally human arc of the entire Sandman run.
