"NATION BUILDING," Part Five
The road to statehood was already rough for Chas Worthington's neo nation, but tangling with the despotic outlaw Chukwu regime might prove to be his worst move yet. As the people of New Texas turn on the man who founded their unlikely home, how will Chas respond?
When it comes down to it, GREAT PACIFIC really is something special, and it's because it's so different than anything else on the market that it's always a breath of fresh air–a weird thing to say about a book that has an island of garbage in it. But it's the character work, the political machinations and the fantastic art that makes this book a consistent winner, and if you're not already reading Great Pacific, you're really missing out.

Overall, thanks to much needed character focus, this was a strong closing to “Great Pacific”‘s strongest arc so far. Joe Harris has created in Chas Worthington a complex and flawed individual whose biggest enemy is his own determination. Surrounding him with side characters that are just as interesting and finally taking a closer look at how they tick has lead to a much more compelling narrative than when we last saw a story arc end. Teaming Harris' character focused writing with Martn Morazzo's artwork has created a gorgeous world filled with detail and characters that feel wholly unique. “Great Pacific” keeps getting better and better.

I almost didn't review this issue because it was so stale, but I figured I would get my thoughts out so I could read the next issue with a clear head. Hopefully it wows me, but I'm beginning to think that it's going to be very similar to the sixth issue just with something different standing in for the giant purple octopus. I know they can't all be winners, but we can still hope can't we? If you're following the series you'll probably want to finish the story arc and if you're not then you might want to wait to see how this arc turns out. Read Full Review
