I hate to say this, but I just really wasn't all that thrilled with this title. Christopher Yost wrote it, and Paco Diaz Luque did the art. Honestly, to me, the best part about the whole series were the Billy Tan covers. And the ending . . wasn't any better than the rest of it. Vulcan ends up taking over Finality. He wants to use their warping abilities to send a star into the middle of the Scy'Ar Tal fleet. Havok and the rest StarJammers put up a heck of a fight. Vulcan ends up defeating the Scy'Ar Tal, but it almost cost them all the M'Kraan Crystal. Also, Major General Ka'Ardum, whom was helping Lilandra, switches sides. When he sees what Vulcan is willing to do to defeat their enemy, he thinks the Empire stands a better chance with him at the realm. But he doesn't turn on Lilandra, he does give her the chance to run away. Which she does. In the process of destroying the Scy'Ar Tal, Havok does destroy Finality. So Vulcan won't be able to use that weapon again. But, between Vulcan and Deathbird, they capture all of the StarJammers. So, at the end of the issue, Vulcan is standing triumphant over the Shi'ar Empire. The Starjammers are in custody. And Lilandra and Xavier free from their grasp. For now. Vulcan vows, "Now the Empire's destiny will be fulfilled. We sill destroy all those who will stand in our way, including the one you call Mummudrai . . . the one called Xavier. Together we will expand . . we will conquer. The Shi'ar empire will rise again!!" And, in the epilogue, we find out the the Scy'Ar Tal had indeed stolen the M'kraan crystal much in the same way that they claimed the Shi'ar had stolen it from them. So I guess the message is, who's really right and who's really wrong? But this series leaves a lot more questions than it answers. So obviously . . . there will be more. Yippee!
