 Amazon.co.uk: Books: The Sandman: The Kindly Ones (Sandman S.)
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.
While the rest of "Sandman" could, at a pinch, be described as some of the first comics work (behind anything with the name "Alan Moore" on the front) to be held as literature, "The Kindly Ones" really is a work of epic, literary genius that will stand up in years to come.

As a group, The Sandman sits easily alongside The Dark Knight, The Watchman, Cerebus et al, and as a finale The Kindly Ones is perfect.

 details on
While no previous Sandman story arc seemed like a continuation of a preceding one, The Kindly Ones is a meta-sequel of sorts that features characters and plot threads from Preludes and Nocturnes, The Doll’s House, Season of Mists, A Game of You and Brief Lives.
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).
As Mikal Gilmore notes in this insightful Introduction to “The Wake,&; the title not only points to those ‘kindly’ ladies, the Furies, but others whose acts of kindness (Hippolyta, Thessaly, even Morpheus) similarly precipitate Morpheus’ fall, either purposely or not.

 The Sandman: Brief Lives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This shedding of family blood is in turn a key plot point in the ninth collection, The Kindly Ones.
The meeting with Destruction is perhaps the centre of the collection, with Destruction meditating on change and responsibility with a depth and sharpness that escapes Morpheus, who is blinded from conscious self-understanding by his stubbornness; even as he changes, he cannot perceive that he is changing, and refuses to seriously consider the possibility.
The ending of this issue encapsulates these ideas perfectly: Destruction leaves with his belongings tied up in a handkerchief slung over his shoulder, saying only that he is going "...out there somewhere", while Morpheus, bound as always by his obligations, tells Delerium "I need to return to the temple.
