A series that has (charitably) taken its (literal and figurative) time laying out its grand plot suddenly finds itself leaping ahead into a swirl of activity they skipped the actual introduction of.
That's OK, it's clear enough how they jumped a few steps ahead to get to the world siddenly being on the brink of nuclear war, but then you have the rest of the issue largely taken up by the Evil Villain Master Plan Monologue, and suddenly a very slow series finds itself feeling cramped for time in its penultimate issue.
It ends on a high note, with the final two pages finding a spectacular rhythym to drum up the hype for the final issue, but it's not really enough to redeem this issue as a whole, which seems to largely expose the plotting and pacing failures of the rest of the series.

This issue focuses mostly on Ozymandias. Ozymandias explains his master plan of saving both worlds by manipulating pretty much everyone. Once again, you realize why he calls himself "the smartest man of the world." Also, it is finally time. Doomsday clock stops ticking.

Only one left. This one was more or less a «put things together» issue to remind us and keep focus on some elements in preparation for the conclusion. Good but I'm really looking forward to see how this series will end because I had very high hope for it and so far, while I enjoy it, it didn't reach my expectation so I hope the end will help it reach the next level!
