It's a shame that this series is ending, because Yost and Bertram really deliver a great issue this issue. Speedball's narration is an effective device for conveying the seriousness of the Warriors' situation as they try to at least slow down the Eternals from committing various genocides (against clones, Inhumans, mutants, etc.). The pair manages to work in moments of emotion (such as Kaine expressing unexpected fury at news that Vance may be dead) and humor (like Sun Girl telling Haechi that the noise he makes breathing fire is a totally acceptable rallying cry). As a result, the team feels like one for perhaps the first time, making it all the more bitter-sweet that the series ends with the next issue. But, Yost and Bertram promise us a helluva issue to close. It's clear that the Eternals' leader isn't telling the truth about the real nature of his alliance with the High Evolutionary to the rest of his team, and Vance is going to be the guy to save the day. I can't think of a better ending.
**** (four of five stars)
