Great conclusion. Previously I was annoyed with the cliffhanger, which feels strung out and padded. Admittedly, this issue does have some filler too—but it has such a satisfying couple of twists that I didn’t care. The climax and method of resolution is a chef kiss moment and while there is a climax, it still feels more interesting and less of a Deus ex machina than most every other superhero comic I can think of, within the same niche as this (the super powered, cosmic powered, Uber supers, etc.).
