    This issue is a pretty solid display of Brian Michael Bendis' ability to deliver powerful character moments, and also his ability to convey the little moments that most writers tend to skip past.

Pretty as it may be, the final episode fails to follow up satisfactorily on the more overtly political threads that were indicated earlier in the series, leaving only a hollow and overly simplistic superhero story at its core.
