Stormwrath reviewed Super Sons: Superman & Robin Special #1 Jan 25, 2022
From a common reader pov, this might not be a 10/10, maybe not even close, but I couldn't care less, the Super Sons are my favorite duo and Tomasi is one of my favorite writers of all time. Reading this issue put a smile on my face from the beggining to end. I'm so sad they are not getting a new title but my hope will never die...
As the Super Sons, Jon Kent and Damian Wayne put evil to bed…past its bedtime. But a new day has dawned, and Jon Kent is now the Superman of Metropolis-all grown up and fighting for truth, justice, and the kinds of grown-up things that Superboy was only beginning to understand as a child. Now a ghost from Jon’s past has reared its head, and to ...

Stormwrath reviewed Superman: Son of Kal-El #7 Jan 18, 2022
At the same time I really enjoy what Tom Taylor is doing, a Superman that fight other kinds of enemies, the plot is stuck, in 8 issues the story hasn't evolved a lot, I'm sure this will be way better to read on trade, but as a monthly book, is kinda slow.

Stormwrath reviewed Batman: The Knight #1 Jan 18, 2022
Super solid story, at the same time this is not new, it feels fresh and interesting. I liked Zdarsky's voice for this book and Carmine's art fits well
/1_small.jpg)

Stormwrath reviewed Batman #119 Jan 4, 2022
Incridible writing, the detective part was good and Abyss was a thretening when it showed up, the Bruce and Lex moments were great too.
