A great penultimate chapter to the trial saga. By this point the character of Mope had really grown on me. It was sad to see the little guy's story come to an end, even though it was a very noble sacrifice. As with the previous chapter this further proves the Tribunal Prime has lost his sense of rationality, as he's desperate to execute Superman at all costs, even if it's by questionable methods. Even the other Judges are unsure what they're doing is right. With only one chapter to the story there's a lot to be resolved in the don't-miss conclusion.
