It's definitely worth a read, as long as you don't have a weak stomach.
Glad to hear you agreed, Mike. I was kind of down on this arc after the first chapter, but when Goran Parlov came back in the second, it never looked back. It isn't often that a writer gets a chance to definitively conclude an story like this one, and it's even more rare that he succeeds.
Incidentally, a belated welcome to the team, Dan!
