Got the Issue and read it. I am very confused as to what exactly happened.
1. The Didact got incinerated; absolutely obliterated (by what though?)
2. "He's just contained sir."

It kinda looks like he's being composed but we know that's not happening... ...don't we?
-
The other thing is, why is Halo's control room still intact? It means either the Halo or the Composer was fired.

Just imagine how much Megatons of pure energy would be generated when you have something as big as the section of Halo/Library getting dumped into the atmopshere of a planet complete with the force of re-entry added and the huge multi-ton mass added to it. The Didact is stuck right in the middle of it.

But the control room is intact.

I suspect the massive heat pressure caused by the impact inside the Library chambers might've acted as some sort of nuclear pressure cooker to just burn off the Didact... The issue also shows Didact burning up. Massive pressure is the reason he is likely dead. Any other reason like the Halo tactical pulse or Composer firing is just plain nonsencical speculation.
