He has this moments.
The Super Sons are back in an all-new 12-issue miniseries written by Peter J. Tomasi! Check out the lost and secret adventures of Damian Wayne (Robin) and Jon Kent (Superboy) in this flashback miniseries that takes a deep dive into the bombastic bromance between the sons of the DC Universe's greatest heroes. It's an epic dual storyline that transcends current events, as Superboy and Robin find themselves targets of an interstellar team of young badasses called the Gang.
It's a complete package that knows what it is from story through the art. And because of that, it's beyond fun. Read Full Review

Despite some convoluted story elements and a lack of continuity with other Rebirth stories, ADVENTURES OF THE SUPERSONS #1 is a nearly perfect young readers story. With a ton of energy and a pair of fantastically written and drawn young superheroes, this is a team to keep an out for. Read Full Review
Regardless, this was another fun romp in the mis-adventures of Jon and Damian. I am thrilled we are getting one more story. I am saddened we won't get more. I am hoping Bendis doesn't let me down. I am steeling myself for the worst. But that won't take away the enjoyment I got from this. Read Full Review
With the real world summer giving way to fall, Adventure of the Super Sons is must-read maxi-series. It shows evergreen optimism and the rediscovery of heroism through the eyes of the best boys in the DC canon. Read Full Review
One common complaint friends of mine had about the original series was that the dynamic between our titular characters basically carried the book. While I agree with that to an extent, I also felt like that was the kind of the point. As long as it gave us fun action/adventure stuff while showing meaningful character development for our leads, there's not much more I could ask for, and it delivered on that premise each and every month. Frankly, that is more than what many books from DC have given us lately. Luckily, this series opener does not disappoint, and I'd be surprised if anyone could put this issue down without a smile plastered on their face. Read Full Review
Buy this book. Buy this series. Read them to your kids. Let's make "The Summer of Super" last all year. Read Full Review

The Super Sons are back! The first issue in their new miniseries proves to be a light-hearted and action-packed narrative featuring the same great chemistry that made the superhero duo so great in their Rebirth series. Its a fun start that promises exhilarating moments ahead, especially as Robin and Superboy face off against the group of interstellar villain-children known as the Gang! Read Full Review
These new villains tease what looks to be an unexpected, unpredictable, but always super fun ride with Superboy and Robin. Read Full Review
Great art and great storytelling make Adventures Of The Super Sons fun. Read Full Review
If you havent been exposed to the Super Sons yet, this is the perfect time to start. Packed with humour, heart and high-concept shenanigans, Tomasi is quietly carving out one hell of a niche for himself with these characters, and this new series delivers more of the same unbridled awesomeness as the original. Its the Summer of Super, everyone! What the hell are you waiting for? Read Full Review
The Super Sons have returned! Back for a 12-issue maxi-series, Jon Kent and Damian Wayne are teaming up yet again for what promises to be another exciting, energy-packed series. Read Full Review
The Super Sons return with a bang! Read Full Review
Barberi's art is amazing. I love the anime style of it and there are so many great moments and panels that it's hard to pick one or two to discuss. The way Barberi composes a panel is great and so many of them show great detail and action. It's a shame this is a 12 issue series because this story could continue with this creative team behind it. Read Full Review
All told, Adventures of the Super Sons #1 is a delight. It's a fun, well-made comic that entertains even as it's made to hover in an odd limbo with respect to continuity. Read Full Review
The art by Barberi is tops. He is at the top of his game here in this book. The action scenes are awesome and everything just pops off the page. I loved the previous series. It's looks like this one may indeed follow suit. Read Full Review
Adventures of the Super Sons #1 is the same team, but an all-new adventure for Superboy and Robin. This one issue was a good reminder of what we have been missing from the Super Sons, and will continue to miss as when this miniseries is over. You don't get this kind of energy towards superheroics, snark, or action anywhere else. Read Full Review
This is a joyful, fun book. It may not have the world-altering consequences of many other titles in the DC Universe, but it's a nice bit of levity, and that's enough. Read Full Review
The adventures of Jon and Damian have become an important part of DC Comics.The Adventures of the Super Sons #1 and the rest of the serieswon't be the last tale in their story. It probably won't be the most significant. But it's a fun, funny, and heartwarming rollercoaster starring DC's prodigal sons. A simple formula that amounts to a great read. Read Full Review
As good as it is, there is still room for improvement, but it is on the right track. Super Sons #16 may have seemed an ending, but Adventure of the Super Sons proves that ending was just the beginning. Read Full Review
A fun comic to be sure with a major spark from the villain side in the last few pages. Read Full Review
The writer pays attention to the need to help new readers catch up to the Super-Sons ongoing narrative which leads to a slow start. However, the issue picks up steam when The Gang confronts the Super-Sons. I'm excited about where this story is headed and recommend this book to DC fans. Read Full Review
Despite the confusing publishing policy surrounding this book, I am glad to see it back on the shelf, mainly as it gives DC a genuine book that can be used across reader groups. I guess, the highest praise I can give this book is that I recommended it to a colleague at work who was looking for something for his nine-year old son. Read Full Review
The boys are back and their adventures are as fun as ever. This issue is effectively the season premiere of a beloved TV show, reintroducing us to the characters and their dynamics before throwing them into a new adventure. Tomasi's script is as snappy and heartfelt as always, and the visual storytelling is a breeze. Adventures of the Super Sons may be “more of the same,” but when that applies to something good it's never a bad thing. Read Full Review
Adventures of the Super Sons#1 satisfies, especially if you enjoy the interplay between two very different kids who find themselves unlikely allies thanks to their parents working at the same job. Damian is a complex character written well and diversely across DC titles, but my favorite version rests here. The mixture of Jon's mother and father, their attitudes and personalities, are always in subtle balance with Tomasi's Superboy as well. Seeing him take center stage rather than used as a support character in other books is always a treat. If you've missed your monthly fix of these young gentlemen, get ready to experience an explosive Summer of Super. Read Full Review
This series looks like it'll be a blast thanks to a devoted, cooperative team. The Adventures of the Super Sons #1 is a solid recommendation for parents, kids, or anyone who still isn't sold on Damian. Tomasi, Barberi, Thibert, Leigh, and Protobunker come together for a worthwhile series that's easy to enjoy. Read Full Review
This is still a fun comic with the same wonderful jokes and dynamic from the series previous iteration, and its a great book for young readers, to be sure. Veteran superhero fans, however, may notice small changes publishers use to make stories less relevant, potentially taking them out of the story. Read Full Review
As you can see, there just isn’t much to say about the issue. It’s fun and the characters sound great, the art is fantastic, but the overall plot needs a few more issues to really win me over. Anyone who was a fan of the last book should jump on. Read Full Review
Our heroes were met with the most unlikely antagonists at the end of the issue. All seems dire right here from the beginning. This has done a great job roping me and many readers to find out the comings and goings of the sons of heroes. Read Full Review
"Adventures of the Super Sons" #1 bears an excellent tone and cheesy villains. Read Full Review
There could be an interesting story here, but as long as this series seems like like two kids having fun and more like a bully and his younger tagalong, it's lacking the charm it seems to be going for. Read Full Review
I am holding out to see where this story goes, but I really do not like this first issue in this maxi-series. Read Full Review
Best and sadly the last part of the Rebirth storyline from DC. Doomsday Clock is irrelevant now that Didio and Bendis are on track for boredom New52 style.
So pick it up while you can and enjoy some goofy good fun. Also it is entertaining to teenagers. At least the 9 in my extended family.
Super Sons continues to be one of the most colorful, funny, and exciting books DC has going.
I missed Tomasi's lighter and brighter writing.
It's more Super Sons, what else would you possibly want? The comic sets up a new story, and does what the original run did - which is portraying both main characters in a fun, believable and relatable way. It's great, and it immediately landed on my pull list. Definite recommendation.
I left super sons disappointed to didn't find the promise I trusted to see in it with issue 9. I wasn't sure to trie this one because I didn't really like the Pitch. But my curiosity push me to take it. And this issue wasn't bad. Festival Tomasi play with our mind when Jon said he's back. If you think he talk to his travel with his grand-father, you will be disappointed, their will be no lead on that part.
The first part of the story is not really what I waited for. Damian using the puppeteer device to hit Superboy wasn't very nice or funny. The little part at the School wasn't my cup of tea easer. But that turn better with the teen version of the bad guys' gallery of their father. Not very original for those who read X-Men Baby, Young more
Decent issue. I like the setup and I'm just happy to see Jon/Damian together again. If this can be half as good as the original series than we're all going to be in for a fun ride for the next 11 issues. I trust Tomasi to give us something pretty special. Summer of Super!
This was fine but I found the Junior Legion a little lame and occasionally everything was a little distractingly try-hard.
I still hate Damian as Robin and just can't enjoy anything he's in.
