7 short-ish stories about each of the Endless. Variable in quality: some good stories, some difficult to read fonts, some incomprehensible artwork

RamsFan1963 Should I assume the incomprehensible artwork was by Mr. Bill Sienkiewicz? I liked his early work, very reminiscent of Neal Adam's, but his later works, like on Marvel's The New Mutants, was utter torture!! 3y
rwmg @RamsFan1963 Yes, the incomprehensible artwork was for the stories for Despair and Delirium, by Barron Storey and Bill Sienkiewicz respectively. 3y

Thank you @Jas16 for the amazing #giveaway!

When it comes to literary siblings, I have to give it up for my favorite dysfunctional septet: The Endless of the Sandman series. Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium are ancient gods embodying the forces that drive humanity. I can never choose a favorite; I love them all.

For years, I considered this volume interesting but nonessential; an opinion I've revised as of Reread the Fifth.

ENDLESS NIGHTS is a collection of seven stories, one for each Endless, that may or may not enrich your understanding of the series' mythos. More than that, it's a bloody superb artists' showcase and a chance to revisit old haunts. I'll rec it with more enthusiasm going forward. #comics

TobeyTheScavengerMonk I really really wish that Destruction story worked better. 7y
xicanti @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I want good Destruction stories in the worst possible way. 7y

Perhaps the best thing about rereading SANDMAN after a six-year gap is that I've since encountered several of the one-off artists in other series and become attached to them. Like, here's Bill Sienkiewicz! I know his NEW MUTANTS work well, but I forgot he did the Delirium story in ENDLESS NIGHTS. And of course he's perfect for it. #comics

xicanti Sidebar: I listen to podcasts at 2x, same as audiobooks, because most performance-minded people speak way too slowly for me. Mostly, everything comes through clear, but when Jay and Miles (of X-Plain the X-Men) started talking about Bill Sienkiewicz (whose name is pronounced sing-KEV-itch) it took me like three episodes to realize they weren't saying Nelson Cabbage. 7y
Bradleygirl @xicanti 😂 I have the same problem with audiobook/podcast speeds. 7y

I think of this portrait of Despair every time I make any sort of Stuff I Like list, because there's always this MOMENT where I forget everything I've ever enjoyed and I'm scared I won't be able to list anything at all. Then the moment passes, and I produce a perfectly respectable collection of happinesses. #comics

TobeyTheScavengerMonk One time my college roommate was all like “What‘s so special about this Gaiman guy anyway? Why do you think he such a better writer than everybody else?” so I showed him this exact page. 7y

Tonight's poorly-lit reading plan. Gonna wallow in some comics, then devour a goodly chunk of an epic fantasy.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Sorry to comment on like all of your posts BUT speaking of What If... I saw today that a new EXILES series is coming out soon! 7y
xicanti @TobeyTheScavengerMonk ooh! I hope it sticks around longer than the last one. 7y

Seshat @TobeyTheScavengerMonk Agreed, though I am also fond of "What I Have Tasted of Desire" and "Heart of a Star." 8y
Seshat @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I can leave the Destiny, Delerium, and Despair stories. 8y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Me too! I always felt the Delirium story needed a few more pages, and I think I've even seen Gaiman say the Destruction story just didn't turn out the way he wanted. 8y

"If this is your first encounter with the world of the Sandman, it is worth bearing in mind that the Endless are not gods, for when people cease to believe in gods they cease to exist. But as long as there are people to live and dream and destroy, to desire, to despair, to delight or go mad, to live lives and affect each other, then the Endless will be there, performing their functions. They do not care a jot whether or not you believe in them."
