And so, all good things must come to an end.  Not even our beloved Super Sons are immune to change, as their eponymous series reaches its end with its sixteenth issue.  With that, we say goodbye to Robin, Damian, and their Fortress of Attitude. At least until they return in a few months, but whatever. …

The story comes full circle for the Super Sons as Kid Amazo is back on the scene.  The boys' first real foe has broken free from his imprisonment at LexCorp and sets his sights on amassing more and more power. Pretty basic plot, and it works well enough.  Per usual, though, the real draw here…

You want to know how fun Super Sons can be when it delivers?  This issue feels like it was supposed to be the second part of a longer arc that was ultimately truncated into a two-parter, yet even then the writing is so charming it's still a satisfying experience. Now, I'll be the first to…

It's been a pretty busy year for our Super Sons.  Their series kicked off last year with one of the strongest debut issues in recent memory, thanks in no small part to the superstar team of Peter Tomasi and Jorge Jimenez.  The title has mellowed out a bit over the course of the year, with…

At long last, the "Super Sons of Tomorrow" arc has come to an end.  Of the five installments, this is the best, though that's unfortunately faint praise.  Like too many crossovers in the past year, this one goes out with a bit of a whimper, its purpose seemingly nothing more than setting up even more…

Before you read this review or, more importantly, this issue, you really need to read Superman #37.  I mean, sure, you should already be reading Superman anyway because it's been one of the best DC titles in recent memory, but Super Sons here is the second part of a crossover that began in today's issue…

I… I can’t put into words the amount of joy I experienced reading this chapter of Super Sons… So I have no idea how I’m going to discuss how incredibly fun and satisfying this issue is. The only expression that seems remotely appropriate, would be to hug Tomasi. You know, one of those long, awkward,…

The boys complete their first intergalactic/dimensional mission as "Planet of the Capes" draws to a close.  This is the second big arc on the title and, while it still has its charms, there is a bit of wear showing.  It disheartens me to say it, but Super Sons feels like it's slipping. Looking at the…

Join Metropolis' favorite son and Gotham's... Robin as they traverse a dangerous new world.  Can Superboy and the Boy Wonder make their way back to Earth?  Just where in the universe did Kraklow send them?  Are they even in the same dimension anymore? All of this and more in this issue of Super Sons, which…

Despite their best efforts, the Teen Titans are in a state of disarray.  After suffering a loss at the hands of the appropriately-named Forgotten Villains, the team has retreated to regroup and lick their wounds.  Beaten down and humiliated, there's a far more oppressive foe the teens (and Jon) have to face, a villain who…

A funny thing happens anytime I read Super Sons.  I go into it expecting some great action and writing, which I get in spades, of course.  What seems to slip my mind, though, is just how well-rounded a character Jon is becoming.  He's been a part of the DCU for about two years now, and…

Imagine this: you're the son of Batman, gifted with the opportunity to be his crime-fighting partner Robin.  You're smart, cunning, and resourceful, and you have access to some of the coolest gadgets money can (or even can't) buy.  Plus, you know, I'll repeat: your dad is Batman. Or imagine that you're the son of Superman. …

This is a testament to how great this book is: even with a chapter that doesn't reach the highs of its predecessors, I still had more fun reading it than just about any other book out there.  Such is the case with Super Sons #4, the first issue in the series that I wouldn't describe…

Last month, I said this might be my favorite book on my slate right now.  Yeah, I think I can eliminate the "might be;" Super Sons is great, and I look forward to it more than just about anything that I read.  Three issues in and it's still going strong, delivering a healthy balance of…

Super Sons accomplishes something that too few comics do these days: it is pure joy.  From beginning to end, this book is an outright blast, and even though it's only in its second issue this might be my favorite book on my slate right now. A lot of what makes this book work is the…

After what seems like an eternity, Super Sons is finally here.  There's been a lot of anticipation building up to this title, and... you know what?  I'll just cut to the chase: it's great.  Super Sons is non-stop fun, a truly remarkable first issue, and a near-perfect example of comics storytelling.  I had a grin…
