This is a strong start to the new arc. David, Superman's new sidekick, is a relatable and sympathetic character, and even though the tone is much more grim than what we're used to seeing in this series, there's still that spark of hope as Batman and Superman try to help David out and take care of him. It's a clean script, and since there's minimal exposition, the art can breathe and shine. It's a great jumping-on point as well. Recommended! Read Full Review

I love this book so much. But i need Supergirl to appear again.
Man, it hurts to know that Thunder Boys wasn't a Titan
This continues to be probably the best "classic" superheroic you can find right now.
It's stunning and beautiful in all ways.
Simple. Pure. Great.
After what I thought was a bit of a haphazardly written end of the first arc and a good but otherwise forgettaable denoument in issue 6, we go back to this series and we get a very strong start of a new arc.
The humour works well because it doesn't undercut the drama and drama works well precisely because it's contrasted with the colorful settting.
great start to a new arc
Actually surprised by how fun & rather emotional this issue is. Mark Waid & Dan Mora continue their plunge into a very upbeat, fun & beautifully drawn series. Its funny, artfully expressive, and just a good time. But I think this issue truly shines with what subject matter is tackles. The introduction of David aka Boy Thunder, provides a unique experience that I feel we don't get to see much within dc. And that's the understood sympathy for being an orphan. More importantly, I think, is how to manage and express the trauma of loosing your planet & your parents. Its something that Superman, Batman & Dick Grayson & know very well. This entire issue is three orphans, embracing a new one & its quite beautiful. Very emotional even. Fun issue & Imore
This issue has a lot of good elements. Back to the original feel of Robin. Love that. The expression on Superman's face when David repeats Clark's own story. A visit to Candor. Though, why give him a suit with a cape? - unknown. Apparently, they don't want him to fit in with normal society. And he can't fly, yet he leaps across the gap between two buildings. Then the reveal of the original Teen Titans - again- love.
Waid is absolutely killing it with this series. A joy to read.
