All that's missing is the ring.

They don't exactly pop up frequently, but they do every once and awhile (see: Daniel!Morpheus in Morrison's JLA, Death in the pretty great Action Comics "Black Ring" arc starring Lex just before the New52 reboot).

While it's understandable due to their popularity, it's a shame that Dream and Death are the only ones that get little nods and appearances like that. It'd be cool if some of this cosmological stuff touched on the aspect of Destruction quitting his job. While it's a major point of the Sandman series itself you'd think the embodiment the very balance of destruction and creation going on hiatus would be something to touch on.

Maybe that could explain why the Multiverse constantly keeps destroying and reforming itself. There's something off with the destruction and therefore something off with the reconstruction (as it's established the Endless represent both sides of their aspect, death/life, dream/reality, destruction/creation). Obviously there's similar ideas you could touch on with the other Endless. I don't know, I'm just a lowly comics nerd with no writing skill.

It was addressed in Sandman. Destruction talks about how him quitting didn't actually change anything and tries to convince Morpheus that he doesn't have to be so hands on.

I know. My point is that he could be underestimating the effect that his departure had. Specifically like how he underestimated how his leaving would affect the other Endless.

I mostly just would like for Endless other than Death, Destiny, and Dream to figure into this crazy cosmic implosion/reconstitution thing that things seem to be leading up to.
