Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Exodus Reviewed

What does the conclusion have in store?

The Utopia story arc is finally over.  The arc started out with a bang but seemed to drag on a little.  I've seen a lot of lackluster response as the arc progressed.  What does the conclusion have in store for us?  How are things going to end?
 

  
The arc may have fizzled a bit but we see the potential from this storyline.  There was a lot of big fights that could've been seen here.  Perhaps we'll see some rematches in the future.  To me, it felt like the story arc drag on a little but was rushed in this final issue.  Despite being the 'conclusion,' there are a lot of threads that have been created.  Now that Utopia has been created, what will that mean for the X-Men and mutantkind?  I don't think we've seen the last of the Dark Avengers vs. the X-Men.  We know the Dark X-Men, what's left of them, will return in November.  We have Dark X-Men: The Confession coming up that will show some of the fallout between Scott and Emma.  There's also the result of Emma's encounter with Sentry.  So even though I wasn't entirely crazy about this final issue, a lot of future storylines have been put into place.  I don't think you could have a firm conclusion in this battle between Norman and the mutants.  It should be interesting to see what will happen next.
 
What did you think?  Did you enjoy the arc?  What did you think of this conclusion?  Do you think that Utopia will last?
