Shōtarō Ishinomori (石ノ森章太郎) was a Japanese manga artist and cartoonist. Known as the "King of Manga", he is regarded as one of the most influential manga artists of all time.
The series starts to find its footing with a new arc in which the 00 Cyborgs smackdown a bunch of cyborgs based on the Greek Gods. I'm still not convinced that as a (original) battle shonen this has much more to offer but this is the first sign that variety = fun, and there's an Achilles Heel joke that had me chortling for quite a while.
