7End of Infinity is a MMIC, or Multimedia Interactive Comic (Pronounced ˈmi-mik), produced mainly by Cari [='MiX'=] Garafalo, and set in a time of recovery long after an immense societal collapse. It's also about a literal dreamland called Phantasmagoria.
8
9The main character, Cläus "Jasz" Joplin works as a mail carrier, delivering the post with the help of his trusty plane and his sister Malicent. However, after he receives a package addressed to him (the first one he's ever received), he is catapulted into adventures he could never have imagined. Now, Jasz must figure out what happened while learning more about the new world he's ended up in.
10
11Reader interaction is heavily encouraged, mainly through the use of "Telegrams", messages in a telegram format addressed directly to the characters.
12
13''End of Infinity'' began on September 12, 2011, and was originally hosted on Tumblr, but got its own dedicated site on the one year anniversary of its release.

17!!This series shows examples of:
18* AdorableFluffyTail: Jasz gains one after coming into contact with the mysterious package.
19* AfterTheEnd: [[http://endofinfinity/.com/comic/145 On page 145]], it's revealed that the world survived some kind of apocalypse. According to Jasz, there is fallout in the west, and he flies over deserted wastelands and rotten skyscrapers in an attempt to keep the surviving population connected.
20-> Jasz: NEWSFLASH, JACKASS! THE WORLD'S TRASHED.
21* AnimationBump: Just about every non-Telegram panel is animated in some way, but then came the [[http://http://endofinfinity.com/comic/68 interactive game]] on page 68.
22* BreakingTheFourthWall: The whole story is narrated by the characters who are aware they are narrating a story, and the readers and author break the fourth wall with Telegrams that boss the characters around.
23* CoolMask: The Placidus dreamer masks.
24* DealWithTheDevil: What a pact with a Helianghast appears to be. When [[spoiler: Maté]] makes a pact, he agrees to [[spoiler: trade his life in the waking world for the transformation into a Phantasmagorian, with the Helianghast taking over his "waking world" life]].
25* DreamLand: Phantasmagoria.
26* FacialMarkings: Every Phantasmagorian has facial markings. For instance, Jasz has tapered markings under his eyes, Mammy Serol has circles on her cheeks and forehead, and [[spoiler: Maté]] has almost eyeshadow-like markings.
27* FourthWallMailSlot: Though there is an overarching plot, many of the character's actions are dictated directly by Telegrams. According to [[http://endofinfinity.com/comic/48 page 48,]] Telegrams can't be ignored by characters who aren't currently narrating the story. In the following pages, Silver is forced to perform aerial acrobatics against his will by telegrams from the author herself.
28* ImprobableAge: Jasz, who is stated to be a preteen, but has a job flying a plane to deliver mail and pay increasingly high rent to his aunt.
29* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Literally and figuratively, when [[spoiler: Jasz yanks off Maté's Placidus, shattering it]].
30* {{Ninja}}: The scarf ninja.
31* LittleBitBeastly: After the incident with the mysterious package, Jasz gained fluffy, droopy ears, and an equally fluffy tail, as well as a nice set of fangs and claws.
32** Every Phantasmagorian has some animal traits. Silver has large, black wings, Mr. Muse has large ram's horns and sheep ears, Mammy Serol has catgirl features.
33* MonochromeCasting: Averted. The author goes out of her way to include a variety of characters from all over the world.
34* SassyBlackWoman: Mammy Serol. Full stop.
35* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Silver. He tries to tone it down, with questionable success.
36* UnreliableNarrator: The story is told alternately by Silver and Jasz, so differences in their memories and how they tell the story affect, well, how the story is told.
37-> '''Jasz:''' Ok, yeah, I think right about now is where I just started nodding through Mate's recounting of the events... accuracy may vary? I take no responsibility for what went down in this portion of the story.
38-> ''(Then, one page later, Jasz interrupts when Silver says something)''
39-> '''Jasz:''' AAABAPBAPDATDAT [=SHHhhhh=]... SHOOSH. No, no, no, stop. Shush. My story.
