(Everyone, I read the latest issue of The Sandman. Great. The thing I feared most happened: a continuity bug... In the previous run, Dream publicly humiliated Lucifer in front of countless demons. Lucifer was furious enough to go mad, yet he did not even dare let out a peep. So in this book, I established that Lucifer was not on a very high level, at least beneath the top three big shots of the Endless Family. But in the newest issue, Dream directly admitted he was no match for Lucifer, then openly praised Lucifer in front of his number-one lackey, Raven—how awesome he was, how great he was. I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead... What the hell...? I really don't understand this move. What were the editors thinking?)
(This kind of setting conflict was not an isolated case. For example, a few hundred chapters ago, I said the strongest Hulk was Four-Armed Hulk. A few months later, I got slapped in the face when the One Below All event came out. Hulk's origin was actually an archangel, viewed by OBA as a gateway for descent. That Archangel Hulk was the strongest Hulk. Then there was the origin of the Monitors. I wrote that they all originated from The Great Monitor, a setting DC had used for decades. But in the latest event, the Monitor Brothers directly became the sons of the Dark Goddess... All I can say is that I caught the worst possible timing. Over the past year or so, too many new settings have emerged, leaving me in an awkward position... So I'm explaining the reason here. As long as everyone understands what happened, that's enough. There was nothing I could do about it. It really rankled.)
Could anyone blame him?
He had never expected the 10D being
