I love the character relationship between Robin and Superboy. Damian Wayne is my favorite Robin and is so snarky. Damian and Jonathan are so different but through their adventures and missions become best friends. Jonathan helps Damian grow as a person and Damian makes Jonathan a little rebellious. Can't wait for more adventures from the Super Sons.

This was a fun new way to experience the DC Universe. I think this was a great addition to the rebirth storyline. I love the idea that there is a new generation of heroes ready to take over even while they are still growing up.

A fun story about Robin and Superboy, the sons of Batman and Superman respectively, teaming up to stop a bad guy named Kid Amazo. I enjoyed the art and it was mostly easy to follow. The only part I was confused about was Robin's complaining about the Teen Titans. I'm not sure if they were disbanded or something in this book, and would have liked a more thorough explanation. (If it was stated in another series related to this comic, I probably should have started there...)

Lively and fun story of the Super Sons (Batman and Superman's kids) and their friend. Art is colorful, cleanly drawn and is a big part of the liveliness and fun of this graphic novel.

I found parts of this book to be a bit slow, however, I think a lot of it is setup since it was a volume 1. I don't know much about superboy, so I did enjoy learning about him. The art was enjoyable. I would still read more in the series to see where it goes.

I have really loved all of Peter J. Tomasi's work, and this is no exception. Watching Damien and Jonathan interact is a never-ending pleasure--they contrast and compliment each other in a trainwreck friendship that you can't help enjoying. It's like watching the best of Batman/Superman, but encompassed in tiny earnest versions of them.

This was a great read!

(I was given a free copy in exchange for a review. Thanks, Netgalley!)

This was just a delightful surprise! I tend towards Marvel over DC (with the exception of Batgirl), but Super Sons volume 1 is probably one of the most enjoyable super hero comics I've read in a long time. I especially love that it's for younger readers and while perfect for them, still enjoyable for older readers. I have a hard time finding super hero titles I feel confident giving to younger readers, but this is one I will hand them with gusto!

With the upcoming upcoming Ink and Zoom imprints, I hope we'll see even more of these characters there, in addition to this ongoing title.

ARC from Netgalley.
An excellent premise for this book: Son of Superman and Son of Batman team up. The only problem? Jon is young and hasn't fully come into his powers yet, also maintaining the small town innocence he was raised on, but Damien (as Robin), thinks he knows everything, is leader of his own team (Teen Titans), and is a fairly spoiled brat. What unfolds has tons of action and lots of comedy.
The Amazo virus had previously ravaged through the country (see the pages of Justice League) and some people have kept the powers they received. A teen boy, dubbing himself Kid Amazo, is causing havoc, and for Lex Luthor nonetheless. Will they get in trouble more for taking on a villain on their own when they should be asking for help from their fathers? OR will the true trouble come from Lois and Alfred, who both want to ground the boys for them sneaking out?
Fun and fierce, Super Sons provides a much needed light-heartedness to the DCU. I hope their book continues with similar comedy amidst threats.
Recommend.

Super Sons is easily my favorite Rebirth title of the year. Upbeat, fun, and consistently hilarious this title is perfect for everyone. Adults and kids will get a kick out of Damian and Jon's adventures as they fall in and out of trouble.

This first collection is the perfect introduction to both characters and never lags through the story. It is not hard to tell exactly who these two boys are and how they're going to react to one another. The arc is paced well and hits the right funny and serious notes when it needs to. Tomasi's writing captures both boy's voices perfectly and provides great dialogue to move readers through the story.

The art is incredible as well. Jorge Jimenez is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists. Every panel is full of life and movement. Each character seems ready to jump out of the pages. The way he draws facial expressions shows readers exactly what each character is thinking and feeling.

Overall Super Sons is a beautifully drawn and written story that will draw readers in with it's wonderful story and keep them there with it's lively characters.

'Super Sons Vol. 1: When I Grow Up' by Peter J. Tomasi and Jorge Jimenez is a team up book that features the sons of Batman and Superman together. I was less crazy about the villain in this book, but I love these two characters together.

Damian is Batman's son, and he is just like Batman would have been, had he been allowed to be Batman as a kid. Superboy is a gangly, awkward kid that is just as much of a boy scout as his dad. These two team up when Damian learns there has been a break in at Lex Luthor's headquarters and someone has stolen some technology. That technology leads Damian and Jon into trouble and fighting robot doubles of themselves.

Along the way, there is Damian bragging about being in the Teen Titans and telling Jon he can't be since he is not a teenager yet. Damian is a bit of a brat, but I like him a lot. I especially like when the boys end up grounded. In a one off story, that happens and Jon has to deal with the family moving away from their farm and to the big city of Metropolis.

This was just a lot of fun to read. The main villain was not all that interesting to me, but the story and art were just great and I can't wait to read more of these two.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Jonathan Kent and Damien Wayne make up an unlikely duo, but necessity can create crazy partnerships. And the two do drive each other crazy, always squabbling and bickering even while they cover for each other like old pros. This time the due comes together to investigate a series of thefts at Lexcorp that leads them to Kid Amazo and a plot to take down the Justice League. But then they face the duo of Pennyworth and Jonathan's mom, Lois Lane! Will they survive this danger?

This volume collects Super Sons issues 1 – 5.

It tells the story of Jonathan Kent, the son of Superman and Lois Lane, and Damian Wayne, the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul. Damian has taken on the mantle of Robin while Jonathan is called Superboy.

Both boys are amusing and likable. Their personalities make them obvious who their fathers are but the boys are able to easily show that they are unique. While Damian is annoyed Bruce is trying to keep him out of the field, Jonathan is struggling with an impending move to the city. Damian inevitably drags Jonathan into the field to hunt down some bad guys and the boys struggle to get along just as their fathers do. They bicker and fight but still manage to rescue a little girl from her evil brother.

I personally look forward to the next issues. Definitely a comic book I would purchase as a gift.

The only flaw was there were multiple pages with blank speech bubbles. I hope it was only a flaw in the PDF and did not extend to print copies.

Seeing Superman and Batman as fathers is a little weird to me, I guess a little like seeing the people you knew as kids grow up and become parents themselves. But with junior versions of the world's finest heroes out there, this team-up was inevitable. Luckily, it's a fun book with a lot of potential, reminiscent of the better runs of Batman/Superman comics. Damien (Robin) is the older of the two, and appropriately pushes his younger counterpart Jonathan (Superboy) to break his bedtime to solve a mystery; arguments and heroics ensue. The art has a youthful energy that is appropriate to these characters (at least in the first four issues; in issue five, not so much). Definitely looking forward to more from this series.

This was never going to be a success, let's face it - Superbrat given a full book in which to chat shit with Damien-Robin-man-Batboy. I gave it some time, but it turned into a diatribe on behalf of Netfux against Amazon, or something - I don't know for sure but whatever it was, coherent it wasn't. In a way I surprised myself by lasting so long with it, but I never got close to the end.

As the title says, this is about Damian and Jon and their alter egos having quite the team ups.

They run into a kid calling himself Kid Amazo. He and his family had gotten powers with the Amazo virus and Kid Amazo's powers did horrible things to him.

The two super sons aren't having perfect times with their parental units and they're not really getting along with each other either.

I still go between liking and not liking Damian, and I definitely wanted Jon to punch him a couple of times, oh, and Superboy really needs new pants, very badly.

It was a fun TPB, and hopefully they'll move on just a little from the two boys fighting and sniping at each other in the next stories with them in it, and start building the relationship.

I was given this ARC by Netgalley on behalf of DC Entertainment.

I enjoyed Peter Tomasi's Rebirth Super Sons Vol. 1: When I Grow Up. Super Sons moves briskly and an element of horror in the second issue demonstrates Tomasi and artist Jorge Jimenez as not just kidding around. The threat Superboy and Robin face is actually real, underscored by a particularly bloody scene with the villainous Kid Amazo. We don't know what could happen and Kid Amazo does seem dangerous; all of this makes Super Sons feel like a strong, immediate story. Tomasi gets the characters right and I'm curious about the next volume.

This is just FUN. All of the charm and adventure of Superman (It's the same writer.) with the added bonus of two exceptional children learning to accept one another (while bickering nonstop). This one's a winner. Jorge Jimenez's art was made for this title. His frenetic style works wonderfully with children looking for adventure. Bring on volume 2!

A great intro into the beginning of the friendship of everyone's two favourite 'super sons'. Robin is perfectly witty, sarcastic and vain and Superboy is almost the responsible mini-me of his Dad, Superman. They crash together in the best way and I can't wait to read more about their adventures!

Such a fun story that you can easily get lost in and just enjoy. Super Sons follows Superman’s and Batman’s sons (no, not together sorry Superbat fans), Jonathan Kent and Damien Wayne. Together both get into all sorts of trouble as only super-powered children can.

The storyline is very easy to follow, with it purely being what Damien convinces Jonathan to do whilst trying to avoid their fathers. Whilst this is predominantly what will occupy you thoughts, it does hint to underlying issues that I suspect that Jonathan and Damien will help each other overcome (either that or they will end up constantly fighting because they think that they are better than the other). We also get to see how they both are like their fathers, whether they like it, or even admit to it or not. I cannot wait to see how they both grow in the coming volumes.

The art style is what you would expect from a comic entered on two super-powered children. Lots of bright colours that did not oversaturate the page with just a general fun tone. This art style really suited how Super Sons is supposed to come across, as more of an enjoyable light-hearted compared to the likes of Batman.

If you want to get lost for a few hours then Super Sons Volume 1 is a great way to do so.
