I've been ready for it to be over since like issue 7
Superboy and Robin have been chased through the galaxy by Rex Luthor and his band of murdering minors...and at last the final battle has begun! Using the Dimensional Cube and a brand-new, shiny army of prison planet escapees, Rex has opened the portal to Earth to start his invasion! But Jon and Damian have an army of their own, and when you're backed by a cybernetic cowboy, an intergalactic ride-share program and several hundred "planeteers," how could you not put up an epic fight?!

It's almost over, so buy and enjoy it while it's still here. This series may be the last we see of Superboy and Robin as they have appeared through the Rebirth era. And if for some reason you haven't been following this series so far, you won't regret hunting down the back issues to get caught up. Read Full Review
Although one issue still remains, two full volumes of Super Sons will be left as a reminder of better days. This volumes nostalgic romp through space has been an absolute godsend for fans tired of their heroes being in constant crisis. Not just the boys together, but really just the sheer pure joy this series brought to fans will be what is missed the most. Read Full Review
This issue was the most enjoyable one in this current 12-issue maxi series due to the action leading toward a definitive end. The Super-sons are at their best when their backs are to the wall. Damian is more ruthless, and Jonathan's powers are highlighted, but mostly, they remain consistent as the good-hearted superheroes. I highly recommend this book to fans of the Super-sons and DC Comics. Read Full Review
The saddest thing about all of this is that the series ends with #12. Adventures of the Super Sons has not reinvented anything, but rather reaffirmed Jon and Damian's place as the perfect starting point for young and youthful readers. It's simple, poignant, and as I have stated repeatedly: just so very, very joyful. Read Full Review
By the end of the issue things are looking bleak. It's a crazy ending where all seems to be lost. Will the Super Sons get out of this? Is there any hope left? Or is everything just going to go to hell in a hand basket? I don't know but I can't wait to read the final issue to find out! Read Full Review
It does make me fear that this might be the last we see of the Super Sons. If that is the case, at the least the duo are going out on a high note. Read Full Review
If you aren't thinking Red Skull, you should be. I'll miss this series when it is done. I'll reread their books whenever I need a laugh and a reminder that comics can be big, loud fun. And I thank Tomasi and Barberi. Read Full Review
The best part is that the issue is very much in line with the overall sense of adventure the entire series has had, which makes it a solid, truly enjoyable issue from one of the best series DC has going right now. Read Full Review
This felt like a battle episode in Game of Thrones. Stuff happens but it won't get resolved until next time. That said, I am still excited to see how Tomasi wraps up his 2 ½ years run writing the Super Sons in the final issue next month. Read Full Review
Carlo Barberi's art is great and the action is especially well done. There is a lot going on in the panels, but nothing is overwhelming to the senses. All the pages are filled with dynamic action and details. Read Full Review
It's the penultimate issue of Peter Tomasi's salute to the former Super-Sons dynamic before Jon got a growth spurt and Damian took a level in jerkass, and this comic pretty much sums up the run as a whole " it's fun, but not memorable. Read Full Review
A wild and crazy couple of guys have their hands full as Rex Luthor throws everything he can in their way as he tries to get through the portal to a planet where he will be lifted up above the fray. A divine comedy of errors awaits the super sons. That is if they can get through the portal themselves. Will the super sons be able to thwart the latest maniacal plans of Rex Luthor? To be continued. *** (8.7 rating) Read Full Review
There are many ways this could have been done better, but it could have been worse. If you're already reading the series, no reason to stop now, but I definitely don't recommend picking up the series based on this issue alone. Read Full Review
Quite a summer for the Super Sons.
Very enjoyable issue! Great artwork and great dialogue. At this point just here to have fun, even though the fake future supersons can’t really have memories. Hoping Joker makes it out of this!
Honestly, I'm just bored of this story. It's never really been anything that good or great. I feel like the story is throwaway. I really do enjoy the dynamic between Jon and Damian, but it's just not enough for this really disjointed and boring story.
When will this boring story end?
