Questions get answers in this penultimate issue. Some of the transitions between scenes felt a little forced and confusing, but considering how much got packed into this issue its understandable. The art and the writing are still really spot on though. I think this run gives you a really good sample of all the characters involved. Making this a great trade in the future to give to comic lovers and skeptics a like. Read Full Review

The good guys defeat Mr. Sinister in a highly satisfying Ultimate Showdown. Karnak gets shuffled into the losing column in a fascinating, philosophical way. This issue reaches up to true greatness with the thought-provoking arguments that finish it off, and it's exhilarating to see Karnak's brutal pragmatism get repeatedly dunked on. Counterbalancing that notably awesome content, though, is a broken art collaboration. The four pages contributed by Will Robson are decent, but there's no longer any good excuse to justify the jarring clash in styles. Javier Garrón makes the majority of the book look outstanding. The climactic fight scene has a cast of dozens and is ridiculously intricate, but the emotional moments are also fully supported with superb facial work. If only he had time to do those other four pages as well!
