Rating: 6/10
Final Thought: This was an uneventful way to end the story. The conflict was very similar to the Bolphunga story where it has this huge build up that peters out with an abrupt ending. There are lessons learned, and loose threads picked up, so it’s not a total loss, but I am not a fan of the trend this book is taking to resolve it’s conflicts. Starting this story with The destruction of Planet Mol, it is great to see the resolution. So while I am glad that we got there eventually, I am not quite pleased how we got here. The story is a semi-memorable arc that I do not see being a huge character development point, as it was broken up into a few different stories. Overall I would say that Jessica comes out a bit better than Simon.
