A consequence of Lucifer’s shut down of Hell is that all the mortal souls who have been housed there now need somewhere to go, and so they’ve begun reappearing on the physical plane, which is giving Death a huge headache (we saw a glimpse of her dealing with this problem in the previous issue when Dream decided to ask for advice from his sister at the worst possible moment). However, unlike the last interlude, “Men of Good Fortune,” this issue is actually much more closely related to what’s going on with Dream in the present. I continue to suspect (because this issue has a guest art team) that this story was intended as a stopgap while Kelley Jones and George Pratt (there were a lot of different inkers on this arc, now that I think about it) worked on the art for Chapter 5. It’s time for the obligatory interlude story stuck right in the middle of the longer arc.
