    It's certainly momentous, and the words and pictures are appropriately weighty. But I'm holding it to "good" rather than "great". Because the two "History of Arakko" pages are a little too important. They extend and summarize the story in a way that undercuts the actual comics pages around them.

    It's probably a Catch-22 problem, and this is likely the least-bad way to cover the required narrative ground in the limited amount of pages available.

    There's also the fact that, despite Al Ewing's hard work throughout this series, I find it really hard to care about the Arakkii characters in this issue. But I should shoulder a share of the blame there.
