This was fine. It was an interesting theme for an anthology, stories about endings, but it suffers from a problem a lot of comics anthologies can have. The theme is fun but the individual stories were not as fleshed out as I would like. They were basically just ideas or sketches in my view. I think the reason to seek this out would be for the art. The variety of styles was interesting. ⬇️

psalva There was also a comic mimicking the Shel Silverstein book Where the Sidewalk Ends. A fun idea, but it was unfortunately my least favorite. (edited) 3mo
