This would be a perfectly fine single issue story at any other point in the series, but I found it to be a disappointing ending. This tracks though as all the series under this current phase have felt very stretched out with mediocre filler stories unlike the multiple fantastic series under the previous phase.

Though Williamson's issues were pretty cringe when when it came to plot, each issue was lots of fun and he had a great voice for Damian. I generally like PKJ but found this issue to be fairly boring and a regression for Damian just so he can then build him back up. Hoping things improve next issue.
