Also, looking back on 20th Century Boys, I don't think it's very good. It meanders and some of the reveals and pivotal moments are incredible, but as a whole I find it middling at best. I definitely felt it dragged on a lot longer than maybe it should have.

20th Century Boys really did fizzle out, and I sold it all almost immediately upon collecting the whole series.

Monster sits proudly on my shelf with Pluto and the Astro Boy trade that contains "The Greatest Robot in the World" storyline. Urasawa isn't a sight-unseen pickup for me anymore, but his highs are among the highest in the biz.

Pluto is the best of his I've read, but Monster does end strong, as opposed to 20th Century Boys' protracted wheeze.
