  The Sandman: Endless Nights [2003] Shaking Through.net: Comics: Review
Endless Nights is broken up into seven chapters, each one focusing on a member of The Endless, the enigmatic family as old as time whose members are the walking, talking forms of Dream, Despair, Desire, Delirium, Destiny, Destruction and, of course, Death.
And the closing "Destiny: Endless Nights," with artwork by the always impressive Frank Quitely, is as pretty as it is pointless.
In all, Endless Nights is a fine companion piece to a peerless comic book series that elevated the possibilities of the medium, and if it leads curious newcomers to introduce themselves to the original source material, so much the better.

 The Sandman: Endless Nights - PopMatters Comic Book Review
The Endless, for those new to Gaiman's work, are something more than gods: they live in the background, older than the dieties, and will be around long after the last god or goddess has given up the ghost.
Endless Nights is a series of seven stories, each by a different artist, centering on a different member of the Endless.
Miguelanxo Prado draws possibly the only story in the collection to touch on the Endless' history and family dynamics, with a tale of a celestial parliament when time was still young, and what happened to Dream's first lover.

 Endless Nights
Endless Nights is meant to (hopefully) be played again and again so after the first few times who really cares how nice (or not) the stuff looks so long as it works?
It's so bad that even though the latest patch introduced database support I decided against using the Endless Nights 6 quest engine (which uses a database) because it requires me to be inside of the game to input the quest and ends up forcing me to go in and out of the game a lot.
For those that followed the Endless Nights series for the original game, the Neverwinter Nights 2 version aims to be somewhere between Endless Nights IV and Endless Nights VI.

 CNN.com - Review: Two new Gaiman-ic works - Sep. 17, 2003
His two latest efforts are "The Sandman: Endless Nights," a graphic novel for adults releasing Wednesday, and last month's "The Wolves in the Walls," a graphic novella for young readers and their bravest adults.
But a new and fine discovery awaits you in "Endless Nights" and "Wolves": Gaiman is also an accomplished alchemist in artistic collaboration, to the point that he'll sometimes allow his meditative texts to take a secondary position to illustration.
Artist McKean (he contributed the cover art for "Endless Nights") employs his sculptural vocabulary of mask and puppetry in a stunning medium of what appears to be "built" illustration -- drawing and color merging with hauntingly dimensional photographic elements.

 Endless (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Endless (Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair and Delirium) are a group of beings who embody various aspects of the universe in the DC comic book series The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman.
The Endless do not rule, but spend most of their time fulfilling their functions: in Death's case, by infusing life in newborns and leading the souls of the dead away to their destinations; in Dream's case, by overseeing the Dreaming and regulating dreams and inspiration; and so on.
The Endless are as old as the concepts that they represent, and although exact ages for any of them are unavailable (only relative ones are), they are known to have at least existed for far longer than life on Earth has.

James Lovegrove: Endless Nights evoked many things for me, not least a wispy nostalgia for a period that really wasn't that long ago, although it seems so: the time when Sandman was, barring Alan Moore product, the comic whose appearance I and many others most looked forward to each month.
The stories in Endless Nights fit neatly into the interstices of the existing Sandman mythos, and while that means that inexperienced readers are not advised to start here, experienced readers will love slotting these literary jigsaw pieces into gaps in the big picture which they didn't necessarily know were there.

 : RevolutionSF - The Sandman: Endless Nights : Review
With The Sandman: Endless Nights, Gaiman returns to his most famous creation to take on something of a dream project -- telling stories of each of the Endless, tailoring each tale to the particular strengths of the all-star lineup of artists collaborating on the book.
Endless Nights is another step in that continuing journey, and it is impressive to see the chances Gaiman is now willing to take, and the complexity he infuses his writing with.
Endless Nights is good, even excellent at times, but the whole never quite equals the sum of its parts.

Gaiman's eagerly awaited return to his most successful creation shows his mastery of the characters and their world to be intact, and if these shorter stories don't allow for the complexity of the original series, they still demonstrate the brilliance of his concept and the elegance of his storytelling.
Endless Nights consists of seven chapters, each drawn by a different illustrator and each devoted to a different sibling.
Endless Nights has its ups and downs and I cannot say fully that it was a bad idea for Gaiman to reopen the world of Sandman.

The eponymous Sandman, Dream, is the focus of a story set eons ago, when the stars themselves discussed their futures with the Endless -- and with plenty of winks and nudges to the DC Universe aficionado.
But Endless Nights was surely not written to match or exceed 10 years of staggeringly brilliant, highly developed storytelling.

He was part of the Endless, a pantheon created from human visions of universal forces; Despair, Death, Delirium, Destruction, Desire and Destiny were his siblings.
Gaiman takes us on a wild ride through a night of the Endless, from the portraits of Despair to the gardens of Destiny, via a party at the beginning of the Universe and the islands off Venice.
Yet with Endless Nights, it is clear that Gaiman's creation is still more potent and vibrant than the industry that surrounds it.

 Endless Nights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sandman: Endless Nights is a graphic novel written by Neil Gaiman as a follow-up to his Sandman series.
The roots of Dream's conflicts with Desire (in the beginning of this story, they are very close) are illustrated for the first time, as are the roots of the rules forbidding the Endless from becoming romantically involved with mortals.
The first aspect of Despair also appears in the story, looking quite different from her replacement and is more sociable than her latter aspect.

Neil Gaiman is one of those writers, as evidenced by the cover of his latest book, The Sandman: Endless Nights.
While “Endless Nights” is one of those rare comic examples where pictures are not needed – the words speak for themselves – the art magnifies the reading experience.
“Endless Night” can be bloody, perplexing and humane, sometimes all in the same story, sometimes all in the same frame.

Destruction — with his sister Delirium (who, in ages past, used to be known as Delight) in tow, contemplates changing his name and nature while the US government investigates a peninsula whose hills contain debris and artefacts from various possible futures.
Gaiman's ambitions were high, and he may not have succeeded in all of them, but when he does hit the right note the results are fabulous and memorable.
All in all, The Sandman: Endless Nights is a fascinating mosaic exploring Neil Gaiman's personal corner of the DC Universe.

 Endless Nights Rundown at Polytropos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Endless Nights seems to be getting an awful lot of attention.
The premise is the sort of thing few besides Gaiman would think of and still fewer could pull off: a conference of stars at the near-beginning of the universe, to set boundaries and rules.
This story recycles the “the Endless are irresistibly fascinating to mortals” schtick again, which is one time too many in a single volume.

Endless Nights consists of seven stories, each of which is named for and features one of the seven Endless, anthropomorphic principles which shape and maintain the universe: Dream, Death, Desire, Delirium, Despair, Destruction, and Destiny.
The last piece in the book, "Endless Nights," may appeal only to true fans of the series, but it is short.
The other six chapters can be read without any external knowledge, and will without doubt appeal to people who were fed a steady diet of Weird Tales, EC Comics titles, and The Twilight Zone as children.

 FANBOY PLANET.com .: ds-endlessnights :.
My point is that this is exactly how I see Endless Nights: true to the vision, pleasant, of merit, but contributing almost nothing we didn't already know.
The Dream story, pre-released in the preview issue, was wisely chosen as bait, since it's the only one of the seven that makes any significant references to Sandman continuity.

Now, with the publication of "Endless Nights," he returns at last to the well-loved universe he created in the long-running comic book.
Since Destruction is arguably the member of the Endless we have learned least about, it really seems a lost opportunity to illuminate some of his undoubtedly epic career.
Even with a lackluster second half, "Endless Nights" is still a welcome addition to the collection, since at its best it brings us back to those golden years when each month brought a brand new issue of Neil Gaiman's epic creation.

 Endless Nights :: Phil! Gregory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Endless Nights is another book from Neil Gaiman in the world of The Sandman.
Possibly the weakest of them in that respect are Death's and Dream's, but they're also probably the most prominent characters in the Sandman series, so the lapse is forgivable, especially since Dream's gives some very nice backstory for the Endless.
It's probably still worth reading for the artwork alone, but the Endless are what really drive this book.
