So Mr. Know-it-all, I mean Robin get's the Teen Titans in a bit of a pickle and who does he turn to, Superboy. With Superboy's help the Teen Titans are saved and Robin goes back to being young. Obviously the story can't end there, so, cue a portal to another realm and the Robin and Superboy being pulled through.

Their adventure is interesting, difficult, and full of heroics. Definitely worth reading. Super Sons is actually a really good series that sees Robin actually acting more like a 13 year old.

ARC from Netgalley.
The hilarious comic of Super Sons is back for a second Volume. This time, the Teen Titans arrive on scene, asking Superboy to join them. In fighting new villains (Atom-Master, Chin Yull, and Time Commander), Robin has been aged to that of an old man. Off they go to fight! (Yes, old man Robin's condition is reversed, though I couldn't stop thinking about a specific Teen Titans Go! episode...)
We find out that these 3 villains are actually made of clay by a magician named Kraklow, who received the clay from a future version of himself. Fight over, Superboy and Robin suddenly get pulled to an alternate dimension, where that clay had come from.
Facing down Ygarddis, a parasitic planet-eating monster, they are joined by heroes of that world, Hard Line and Big Shot. But when they find the Kraklow of that world, explains why he sent the clay to his past self, also claiming that all the heroes from that planet are made of clay too. They all work together to stop Ygarddis, and Superboy and Robin get back home to our world.
A final story has a base being built for our young heroes. Located deep underwater, and put together by Batman and Superman, the Super Sons now have some where to call their own. (The jokes flow nicely here, both from the dad jokes from Bats and Supes, as well as Jon calling it the 'Fortress of Attitude' LOL)
This title is really fun and funny. I hope it continues for a while. Recommend.

Jon and Damien are working together when the Teen Titans come calling. The villain brings clay to life, but manages to get sucked into a different dimension with Robin and Superboy. Between them, they manage to concoct a plan to defeat Ygarddis and save the world. Plus the unveiling of the Super Sons headquarters - The Fortress of Attitude! Fun times!

'Super Sons Vol. 2: Planet of The Capes' by Peter J. Tomasi is the second volume in my current favorite DC Comics series.

Jonathan 'Superboy' Kent and Damian 'Robin' Wayne make the most unlikely friends, but together they make a pretty good superhero team. This time around, they find themselves fighting a team of people made of clay. They are also stranded on another world. It's really their first outing as a superteam and they bring their strengths to the adventure. There is also a backup story featuring their new hideout and the strings that come along with having Superman and Batman as fathers.

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.

As with the first volume of <i>Super Sons</i>, I just could not look away from these adorable, earnest kiddos. I really admired the ways Peter J. Tomasi wrote their story without 1) having the parents unusually absent or 2) taking over the kids' problems to solve it for them. That's hard to do in any story about a young person, but especially hard when your dad is a superhero. The boys' rocky friendship and character development was so much fun to watch.

The coloring was particularly striking to me in this volume, for whatever reason. Dynamic art and great story.

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

I have really been enjoying this series. It is not lightweight; it has substance and lots of intrigue and clashing personalities. An enjoyable read.

I LOVED Super Sons volume 1. Superboy is funny - I had never read a comic with Jon Kent before and I really like the character. Damian Wayne is also great - too smart for his own good, and just like his dad in the "I'm trying but I'll express my feelings angrily" sort of way. Jon being too young for the Teen Titans started in vol. 1 as a sort of throwaway line - thats basically the premise of this volume as the Teen Titans show up. My prior experience to the Teen Titans is limited to the animated show in the early/mid-2000's, which I loved. I really loved the artwork in this one, and the characterizations of the Teen Titans, while different than I am used to, work really well, especially since I haven't read any Teen Titans Rebirth stories.

I love aged up and dragged plot lines - so I knew I would like this one - with a SUPER aged up Damian cuts of Time-Commander. I also love alternate dimensions, which are big in DC, so this volume was great. I didn't recognize any of the villains from before hand, but prior knowledge isn't necessary for the story as long as you know Jon, Damien and maybe the basics of the Teen Titans. 

Damien and Jon bickering but still working great together continues in this volume and I LOVE it. I also love the Titans interactions with Jon, and how annoyed Damien gets when people mention how short he is - its hilarious, he's almost as bad as Edward from Fullmetal Alchemist.

I definitely thought this volume was better than volume one - especially because I liked the villain and storyline better, it was also less exposition driven, which makes sense.

Kraklow is one of the best antagonists I've seen recently, and I haven't read the Apokolips storyline but there were several references to it, especially towards the end. I loved seeing Bruce and Clark's friendship towards the end as well.

I absolutely loved the little epilogue! I loved this entire volume.

Someone has got the Czech technique of making life out of mud, shaping it into supervillains nobody has ever heard of, in order to, er, do supervillainy. That someone is named after a Polish city, so you know, only a few hundred miles out. All this causes Superbrat to want to join the Teen Titans, where Damien-Robin-man-Bratboy is so thoroughly unlikeable that even Superbrat seems enjoyable. Two more issues deal with a sentient planet they're supposed to beat up on, and the fifth issue included here is a pointless mess. It's terrible, but I actually managed to finish it, which means it's an improvement on volume one.

Um, okay, so, Superboy is hanging out with Robin, but then Robin takes off with the Teen Titans, leaving Superboy behind (not cool Damian, not cool). Except, then Robin gets into some real trouble (heh, funny trouble too), and the Teen Titans (and more importantly Robin) need Superboy's help.

That starts a weird story with another dimension, the Super Sons hopping between said dimensions, and some life giving clay, and a washed up magician.

In the final story they get a new HQ too, but it does come with a string attached. Damian has to go to the same school that Jon is about to start in Metropolis. That'll be a barrel of laughs, well, for Jon at least. I can't wait.

I received this book via Netgalley thanks to DC Entertainment.

When at the time of this writing the fates of the Super Sons title, Jon Kent himself, and the Teen Titans and Titans titles are all up in the air, it seems very clear that whatever resolution DC Comics comes to should involve Peter Tomasi. The best parts of Tomasi's Rebirth Super Sons Vol. 2: Planet of the Capes involve Superboy Jon Kent's interactions with Robin Damian Wayne's Teen Titans, and the titular four-part story is clearly the worse for it when they depart. Tomasi has written some of the most magnificent grown-up, often gory comics stories I've read, but he's seemingly become DC Comics's go-to guy for mainstream "young DC" titles; Titans seems the logical next step so that Tomasi can keep doing what he's doing.

The Titans' chapters of Planet of the Capes are both interesting and funny. We have the relatable all-ages struggle of Jon feeling left out by best friend Damian's deference to his Titans group; we have at least a tease of some former-continuity villains at play; and the hijinks of Damian turned crotchety old man are comedy gold. Jon gets characters to play off other than just Damian, which cuts down on the sense of repetitiousness among the gags. The inclusion of more than just the Super Sons in the book also makes the story feel larger and more relevant.

The art by Jorge Jimenez is bar none. Short, perhaps, of Tomasi's frequent collaborator Patrick Gleason, there's probably no one who should be drawing Super Sons but Jimenez, achieving a fun, funky, youthful style.

I love the snarkiness of Damian and Jonathan's positive personality. Though the first arc with the clay people in the other dimension was a bit bittersweet. I love that they name named their hidden hideout the Fortress of Attitude; it was great to see Bruce and Clark bond over how their sons are getting to know each other.

The artwork is great and I love how their expression are made by the artist.

This book has so much damn heart. The chemistry between Jon and Damian is perfect. Peter Tomasi and Jorge Jimenez have just created a winning book. Jimenez is quickly ascending the upper echelon of comic book artists. It's so nice to read a book that just makes you happy. I loved the introduction of the Teen Titans. Tomasi writes them so well that I wish he wrote their book as well. It's impossible to read this book without cracking a smile.

I loved this! The interaction of Damian and Jon is hilarious and cute. I also liked the interaction with the parents. Amazingly done. Great stories. Thank you.

A pretty decent story arc. It was fun to have the Teen Titans all involved, and the titular planet made for a pretty interesting conflict. I liked that it hinted that the junior super duo may have to talk to Constantine to keep working on that particular issue (and I really love the idea of him being annoyed with young Robin and Superboy showing up on his doorstep). Super Sons really seems like it should be mediocre, but has continued to be pleasantly surprising as it has gone forward, so this is definitely a worthwhile read for fans of the first volume.

Before I really get into this review I have to say that the dynamic between Superboy and Robin is what really makes this work so well. It's absolutely hilarious. This is a great series and a good addition to it. Amy fans of tlTeen Titans or Superboy will enjoy it. There is some mild swearing that's actually turned into a running joke but it's also brief so this is pretty appropriate for almost all ages, I'll let you be the judge of the lower end of the age bracket. Other than that, there's the superhero violence but it's not graphic at all, little to no blood even. Like I said, this really is one that works for any age of superhero fan. I definitely recommend the series and this title.

I would like to thank the publisher, author, and Netgalley for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I think this is definitely a title I’m going to have to keep on my pull list. This is a Damian I can (mostly) enjoy. Jon is a sweetheart and watching him come into himself, despite Damian’s cynicism and not so great influence, is great. It helps that he is definitely a Kent and very much his parents child. Not to sure what’s going on with that intermezzo section, does that tie into an event going on right now? Curious to see how it’ll affect the future.
I can’t wait to see the next chapter of their story. I have a feeling I’m going to get a kick out of it.

Super Sons Vol. 2: Planet of the Capes manages to roll fun and action into an awesome read for some of my favorite comics. The art creates the perfect atmosphere for the laughs and crime fighting that the story delivers on. Damien and Jon leap to life straight out of my imagination to be exactly what I pictured Batman and Superman's sons to be. Letting the short Robin jokes fly, Jon is the embodiment of his father, worried about letting a few bad words slip and trying to save everybody. Damien is snarky, moody, and bossy and very resentful of being compared to Jon, definite shades of his father. I love the interaction between the two and there are some definite laugh out loud moments. Rollicking fun and sass from a graphic novel worthy of being worn and frayed from rereads. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from Netgalley.

This is a story about the children of superheros facing their first true challenge. The art is good, the dialogue however was typical if not predictable. Also, in a comic meant for kids, do the women look like strippers? Totally unnecessary.

This series is so cute! The plots tend to be pretty silly but honestly I think that's sometimes a good thing (I'd rather have cute and silly than overdramatic and takes itself too seriously) and the personality clash between Damian and Jon gives plenty of mileage, plus the opportunity for some great fond sniping between Bruce and Clark. I really enjoy Jorge Jimenez's art as well. A sweet all-ages read.
