In a word: FANTASTIC!
Although everyone tried to assure me otherwise, I was really convinced up until my oral comprehensive examination started that it was still possible for me to fail. After the third of my six committee members told me that I did a great job answering his question, I think I realized that it was really going to happen. In the end, every single one of my committee members let me know that I had done a good job answering their questions. None of them really asked me any questions that I didn't know the answers to or tried to trip me up. The whole process was actually quite painless.
Now that the business of comprehensive exams is behind me, I feel like I may actually finish this degree. Granted I have A LOT to do before I can defend my dissertation, but the only thing standing between me and being a Doctor of Philosophy is lab work and writing.
