With many, many thanks to the 
eleven10 comoderators 
darksong, iliadawry and ragdoll for work above and beyond the call (you guys rock), enrobso for having the good sense to convince me it wasn’t a stupid idea AND becoming the overnight moderator at the 13th hour, dbborroughs for letting me curse at his computer trying to figure out the finer points of setting up a community, Pam for getting word out to the Wellies, Michelle for getting the word out to the Thingies, GMZoe for doing a last minute reminder for the folks on the message boards, and everyone else who took time out to help, participate, or otherwise lend support.
Unfortunately, because of the incredible response, we’re going to have to stop taking posts at noon EST on November 11th. Apologies.

The following Endless Nights review was in the 3 November Lincolnshire Echo:
Death is a mysterious woman dressed as a 1980s goth and Destruction is a beefy man with a ginger ponytail. The Sandman comics book series by Neil Gaiman features seven main characters, each embodying and named after an abstract concept – Death, Desire, Dream, Despair, Delirium, Destruction and Destiny.
Each gets their own stand-alone short story in the latest Sandman book Endless Nights.
Some of the stories are more accessible to the casual reader than others, although a common thread of philosophical whimsy runs throughout.
Death’s tale is of a man who finds an island where one day is played over and over again, Groundhog Day-style.
Death herself comes along and finally puts an end the endless repetition. The story of Despair is a series of 15 painted abstract pictures with clever and appropriately depressing stories printed alongside.
The artwork is stunning throughout and features some of the most highly acclaimed talents in the comics industry – Glenn Fabry (Preacher, Slaine), Bill Sienkiewicz (Elektra: Assassin) and Frank Quitely (New X-Men, Missionary Man).
To the uninitiated Endless Nights can seem confusing but Gaiman’s storytelling has a peasant fairytale quality, even when it doesn’t make too much sense, which sweeps the reader along through page after page of beautiful artwork.
Endless Nights is a sometimes bewildering but often entertaining and frequently thought-provoking read.
