''[[http://www.endcomic.com/ The End]]'' is a Science Fiction webcomic which begins with Endi, a member of the birdlike spacefaring Fiah race, facing his first assignment in the prestigious role of Navigator, on a Fiah sub-ship on a mission of the highest importance. His assignment, to participate under the review of a superior Monitor in the legendary Exodus project, evacuating a self sustaining population of an intelligent race from a doomed planet. The species to be saved: Humanity.
Unfortunately, things start going wrong from the outset. Rather than landing in a densely populated city as intended, Endi's ship, the Axca, lands in the middle of nowhere. Under the supervision of Ethma, his Monitor, he relocates the ship to a suitably populated area, which just so happens to place their ship right outside of a Sci Fi FanConvention. The situation continues to disintegrate as the ship's cloaking device proves non-operational, and several humans wander into the ship uninvited. In a desperate attempt to salvage the mission, Endi flies the ship off-planet, but finds that he's not alone in his troubles when a mysterious disaster wipes out the rest of the Exodus fleet. As the only remaining members of the Exodus, Endi and Ethma are forced to look after their party of human stowaways who may never be able to return home.

%% WIKI HAS BEEN REMOVED * AllThereInTheManual: Has its own [[http://wiki.endcomic.com/doku.php wiki]] updated with worldbuilding information unlikely to make it into the comic itself.
* BadLiar: Endi. Not only does he have no idea what sorts of deceptions a human would regard as plausible, he can't moderate his body language in his human guise, and easily falls into a panic.
* BiggerOnTheInside: The Axca, to an outstanding degree. From the outside, it appears to be about the size of a shortbus, but according to Ethma it would take days to cover the entire interior on foot. The engine alone is the size of a football field.
-->'''Ran:''' It is finite, but it’s still really large. They need to be big enough that, in the event of stasis failure, they’d be able to house and support up to two thousand rescued aliens. So, a giant football field sized engine room, a large medical facility, two levels of storage facilities, about seven levels of basic barrack like quarters, divided up into smaller rooms, a control deck, a gunner’s deck, a life-support facility and the shell unit. So they’re very, very big.
* BigEater: Samira
--> '''Samira:''' I'd like two double cheeseburges, two bacon cheeseburgers, and a family-size box of chicken chunks.
--> '''Max:''' I'm really not hungry. You don't have to...
--> '''Samira:''' Who says I'm sharing?
* BigOlEyebrows: Jack and Henri could have a showdown in the finals of the national eyebrow championships.
* CosplayOtakuGirl: Blaire. As a 29 year old insurance brokerage secretary, she feels she's getting a bit old for it.
* EmptyShell: Ith criminals are subjected to MindRape that makes them both psychopathic and completely subservient. These 'Fades' are used as slave labor, though most who object to the mind rape don't mind so much about using organic robots.
* EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped: [[http://www.endcomic.com/comic/ch8-06/ Even the caption is stumped!]]

* HiveMind: The Ith are ruled by one. Members of the hive are explicitly stated to suffer total LossOfIdentity.

* HumanoidAliens: Every alien we've seen so far, from the towering Fiah to Gorth's mini workers.
* IAmNotSpock: Invoked in Victor's case, as he could never find any real acting role that didn't involve at least partly reprising his most famous role (a starship captain).
* InvisibilityCloak: The Axca is ''supposed'' to be using one when it lands on Earth. Things don't go according to plan.
* HumansAreSpecial: In a depressing way; [[TheSociopath they're all black caste (muggles who are masters of manipulation, violence, and thoughtcrime detection)]]. HumansAreBastards, and the Ith dictatorship is slobbering over the opportunity to overstaff their Secret Police.
* HumanSubspecies: Inverted; The Ith claim that humans are an Ith subspecies, and that Earth is a long-lost colony. Their evidence is that the Ith have wide genetic diversity in terms of psychic powers while ''humans'' are a PlanetOfHats black caste race, implying some nutty governor staffed his entire colony on Earth with black caste and it ended ''really'' badly.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Henri.
* MeaningfulName: The Ith conventionally put last names first when writing full names. If you write Lon and Noh's first names first instead, their full names become [[LonersAreFreaks Lon Ehr]] and [[TheExile Noh Ehr]] (the latter potentially also a reference to the SnipeHunt she expected the search for Earth to be).
* TheMenInBlack: The agents themselves don't make an appearance until chapter eleven, but an interlude after the fifth chapter features a series of [[http://www.endcomic.com/comic/intermission-01/ files]] the agency has created on the humans who disappeared from Omegacon.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The Fiah ''did'' save the galaxy from a GalacticConqueror, but only by [[spoiler:haphazardly uplifting the Ith, ignoring the power they gave to their 'heroes' until it was too late]], which ensured the rise of the Ith fascist dictatorship.
* OneGenderRace: Endi and Ethma may disguise themselves as male and female respectively, but the Fiah are actually one of these. They reproduce by laying eggs parthenogenically.
* ParentsAsPeople: Cassandra's parents, Heather and Bart.
* RubberForeheadAliens: The current human forms of Ethma and Endi could be considered this, as they are basically humans with white skin, grey lips, black hair, and glowy-blue spots on their face. (Of course, they are supposed to look exactly like humans, [[PhlebotinumBreakdown but...]]). The Ith, however, seem to vary between this and HumanAliens.
* RuleThirtyFour: In a slightly unusual example, the comic's artist has started a Website/{{Tumblr}} where she posts porn of her own comic.
* TheSpartanWay: The Ith Black Caste (secret police) go through years of lethal training from a psychopathic Overseer. In a good batch, only one in five makes it out alive.
* UsefulNotes/{{Otherkin}}: Jack's internet girlfriend Raine claims to be one when they meet for the first time at Omegacon. It's likely that she's simply lying to push him away after having that vision.
* PeopleJars: The Fiah stasis chambers.
* PoweredArmor: Fiah Guardian armor. Extremely powerful, it's apparently capable of contending with armed spacecraft.
* PsychicPowers: The Fiah can communicate telepathically and dump large amounts of information and sensory input into other's minds all at once (humans, on the other hand, aren't adapted to deal with this.) The Ith have an assortment of psychic powers depending on their caste.
* ScaryDogmaticAliens: The Ith. Unfortunate, since they're also the species humans are most likely to be mistaken for.
* ShoutOut: There's a "meanwhile, back on Earth" sideplot featuring a couple of characters named [[Franchise/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Samira and Max]]. ([[http://www.endcomic.com/comic/ch11-17/ Word of God]] is that this was unintentional, but the author has acknowledged the coincidence by referring to the duo as "Sam & Max" in other places.)

* TelepathicSpacemen: The Fiah. Some Ith also seem to have this ability.
* TranslatorMicrobes: Projection translators. They translate incoming speech into universal psychic impulses, allowing the human characters to understand non-telepathic aliens, but they don't have a module for English, meaning that almost no aliens will be able to understand ''them''.
