While I liked the conclusion of the arc, it’s also somewhat of a rehash of what’s happened in previous volumes too. It’s at its best when it’s not just a physical conflict imo. Panels of punching and stuff, especially with the new artist who is more detailed but also more generic, just feels like a quick read with little actual value. The older ones are very wordy and focus on telling an excellent story. As soon as we learn he is more-or-less invulnerable, it becomes way less interesting and the short stories sing far more than the larger arcs. 

The later part with many short stories, ironically, is still uneven though, but this was because each story has a different artist. Some hit and some miss. A vampire story is particularly excellent. The art there was fantastic and it was a bit different than expected. Then, there’s some bland stuff too. Always enjoyable, but does exceed expectations overall.
