  The Sandman: The Kindly Ones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kindly Ones (1996) is the ninth collection of issues in the DC Comics series, The Sandman.
The most structurally ambitious of the collections, The Kindly Ones is a single storyline written as a Greek tragedy, with Morpheus as its doomed hero and an aspect of the triad of witches, the Hecatae, as the Greek chorus.
The Kindly Ones also continues several other stories, including that of Cluracan of Faerie and his sister Nuala, and that of Rose Walker and her former landlord Hal.

 The Very Best Books : The Sandman Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones
Although it is actually its second-to-last story arc, The Kindly Ones is, for all intents and purposes, the climax of Sandman, Neil Gaiman's acclaimed fantasy comic book starring Morpheus, a glum, superhuman entity who rules over the realm of dreams (The subsequent The Wake is like a long epilogue).
The Kindly Ones was obviously meant to be the grand finale that capstones the Sandman experience and it succeeds on every level.
The Kindly Ones is the winding up of one of the greatest and noblest works of literature of all time period.

 The Very Best Books : The Sandman Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones
And it's here, in The Kindly Ones, that the Sandman comics achieve story-hood; so many other comics glow and blaze and fade and disappear (or more frequently, fail to disappear - why did Doom Patrol need to continue after Grant Morrison gave it up?), but the Sandman is one of the few true modern epics.
The Kindly Ones is the climax of the series.
Sandman:The Kindly Ones has got to be one of the most comprehensive books Neil Gaiman has ever written.

It pulls together various threads left dangling throughout the series, notably the grudges against Morpheus of several characters; Hippolyta Hall, the mother of one of Morpheus' children (the child Daniel), the witches themselves, the Norse god Loki, and the witch Thessaly.
It was preceded by Worlds' End and followed by The Wake.

 The Friday Review: Sandman: The Kindly Ones
It's awkward to encapsulate in a paragraph, but the main arc of THE KINDLY ONES deals with Lyta Hall's attempts to track down the kidnapper of her baby boy Daniel.
In a roundabout fashion, she enlists the Furies of Greek myth (the Kindly Ones of the title) to punish Morpheus the Dream King, whom she suspects to be behind Daniel's disappearance.
Why I find THE KINDLY ONES so appealing is due to that reason: it's the payoff, the climax, the denouement.

 Dance to the Music of Time
Because they were so terrifying, the Greeks sometimes referred to them as "The Kindly Ones," not wanting to mention their names directly.
The Kindly Ones begins at Stonehurst near Aldershot, with a flashback to Jenkin's childhood in 1914, with the house staff: Albert, the cook; Billson, the parlourmaid; Bracey, and others.
The Kindly Ones "inflicted the vengeance of the gods by bringing in their train war, pestilence, dissension on earth; torturing too, by the string of conscience" (2).

 Books : The Sandman: The Kindly Ones (Sandman S.)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In THE KINDLY ONES The Sandman has invoked the wrath of the furies for having killed his son, Orpheus (even though this is what Orpheus asked for), but the story stretches far greater than the vengeance of The Furies, because in this penultimate volume of THE SANDMAN everything comes together.
And "The Kindly Ones" is the climax of it - but, more importantly, it's also the apex of brilliance.
It's filled to the brim with superb characters (of course, all of "Sandman" is, but "The Kindly Ones" manages to get almost everyone in there).

 Neil Gaiman - Sandman
In Hy Bender's book, The Sandman Companion, on page 199, you comment that one of your favorite sequences to write in the Kindly Ones was when Cluracan vomits up his nemesis...I have been over that book countless times, and I must confess that I cannot find this sequence ANYWHERE.
On page 6 of part 2 of the Kindly Ones, Cluracan does ask Dream to destroy his nemesis, but nowhere that I can see is the actual drawing that is shown in that book on page 199.
The sequence with Cluracan and his Nemesis is Chapter 2, pages 7-9 (for some reason The Kindly Ones isn't numbered all the way through).

The Kindly Ones is the climax of that fall, but – ever producing the unexpected – Gaiman's afterword reveals that it isn't the last Sandman book, and that volume nine, The Wake, will follow.
In this book, a conspiracy is made against Dream, the agent of his doom being the Furies –; who are so feared that it's bad luck to name them so, and are therefore called the Eumenides – the friendly, or kindly, ones.
With delicious irony, the unknowing conspirators use the (apparent) death of the boy Daniel to fuel the Furies' rage...

The same can be said of the entire Sandman series, but for sheer drama, tightly woven storytelling, and fascinating characterization, "The Kindly Ones" is the best of the lot.
The consequences of blood-debt, as any reader of Shakespeare will tell you, are terrible; in "The Kindly Ones," Dream, arguably one of the most powerful entities in all of creation, must face those consequences himself.
Even the lot of Morpheus at the end of this volume is uncertain; death and life appearing to be rather fluid and interchangeable concepts, much like the ankh symbol worn by his adorable, and equally paradoxical, older sister, Death.
