The End #1 is a collection of short strips about loss, transformation, waiting, and paralysis. It is a concept album in different styles, a meditation on paying attention, an abstracted autobiography and a travelogue, blending Nilsen's disparate styles, from the iconic simplicity of his Monologues for the Coming Plague to the finely rendered Dogs and Water and Big Questions.

"The End is a staggering, bracing read... It's the best kind of autobiography, eschewing any sentimental elements and managing to completely free itself of the narrative template that's often overlaid on anecdotal autobiography as a way of making it easier to follow." – Sequart

"Anders is currently my favorite cartoonist of our generation. He may very well be the best, most interesting writer and artist working today... The End is... probably among the best books I’ve ever read — comics or otherwise." – Tom Neely
