ARC from Netgalley.
After a hilarious team-up issue with all the super pets, this Volume divides itself into two tales, lead along by the villain in them: Talia Al Ghul and Kid Amazo.
Talia Al Ghul, Damian's mother, is still trying to recruit Robin back into the dynasty and legacy that is the Al Ghul name. Attacking one night while the Super Sons are out patrolling, she reveals to Superboy that Damian has killed many people while undergoing his assassin training. While this does initially cause doubt, they are able to work efficiently together when Talia tries to snipe Lois Lane. Talia leaves, beaten back, vowing to return and try again soon.
Kid Amazo (villain we saw back in Volume 1) returns with an assault on the Super Sons underwater base. Saved by Cyborg, it appears fine, until the reveal that Kid Amazo captured Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Flash, and is using their power to increase his own. 3 Heroes against a seemingly endless power. Takes the combined brains of all three remaining to stop Amazo from spreading to a new body.
As far as I can see, it looks like this title isn't continuing, which sucks, as it is really funny and adventure-packed. What is next for this new Dynamic team?

This TPB started a little different. Instead of a Superboy/Robin story, there was a really cool Krypton/Titus (and some of the Super Pets) story. They got to try and save a bunch of lost dogs. It was cute and definitely a fun story.

Then Talia comes for her son at Jon and Damian's new school. That was intense. Especially since Talia is there in an assasin sort of way.

And finally the most interesting story was the Super Sons going after Kid Amazo who has captured some of the Justice League. And, heh, Robin's solution cracked me up.

It was a fun TPB, and I hope it doesn't change too much as it gets its new imprint.

I received this book via Netgalley thanks to DC Entertainment.

This volume starring Damien Wayne (aka Robin) and Jon Kent (aka Super Boy) have three separate adventures. The first actually stars the Super Pets as they solve the case of the missing pets. Damien and Jon just have to solve how to return all the stolen pets to their owners. The second tale pits Damien and Jon versus Talia, Damien's mom as she targets Lois Lane, Jon's mom. Plenty of action and quick thinking. The final tale brings back Kid Amazo who is trying to gain all the energy he needs to last indefinitely. Unfortunately, Damien with the assistance of Jon manage to trap him and save the Justice League at the same time. Very nice teamwork between the two. And you can see the friendship blossoming between them as well amidst the mayhem and laughs.

Tomasi closes out the series in great fashion with Carlo Barberi and Paul Pelletier in tow now that Jorge Jimenez has graduated to the big leagues. First up is a Super Pets reunion where they search out some missing pets. Pelletier does a great job of communicating thoughts and feelings of the animals in a mostly wordless story. Next up, we focus on Damian and Jon's mothers as Talia is contracted to assassinate Lois Lane. It's a great dichotomy as Damian stands up to his mother in order to stop her from shooting Lois. Then Kid Amazo returns and the boys have to save the Justice League. It's a perfect ending for the book as we get a glimpse of what they are truly capable of.

I'm truly sad to see this series go. This was one of the best series to come out of Rebirth. Yes, I know there's a miniseries set in the past coming, but it's not the same. They should just roll this series into Teen Titans.

Super Sons Vol. 3: Parent Trap is the best this series has been so far, landing with its humor and drama from start to finish. Writer Peter Tomasi makes the Super Sons wholly likable, and there's even a sense of real danger. I could read an entire book about about civilian Jon and Damian's shenanigans at their school. Tomasi's Jon is especially fun, trash-talking a teammate on the field and then being immediately friends off the field, plus Jon's penchant to talk directly to the reader. The scene where Jon-as-Superboy has to backpedal a public appearance when confronted by his mother Lois Lane was also enjoyable. I appreciated the less angsty road that Tomasi takes in that Jon immediately forgives and dismisses the revelation that Damian committed murder in his childhood rather than melodramatically breaking up the band over it. In the "End of Innocence" story, there's a particularly harrowing five-page sequence in which Damian and Jon try to save one another from drowning leagues below the surface, that I thought was particularly well-done and unusual for this series in its drama.

Carlo Barberi drew all of these issues particularly well. Barberi has his own history with DC Comics's young heroes, having done a run on Impulse among others. Here, I felt I saw a lot of relevant influences from DC history in Barberi's depictions; himself, but also Todd Nauck, Freddie Williams, and Ed McGuinness. All of that made this final volume of Super Sons feel cut from the same fabric as some of its direct predecessors like Young Justice, Robin, and Superman/Batman

The book kicks off with the series' first annual, a delightfully wacky Super-Pets story by Tomasi and Paul Pelletier. Everything is here: Detective Chimp, Krypto teaming up with Damian's Titus while Ace the Bat-Hound snores away, a supposed dark chapter in which the death of Super-Pet "Clay Critter" drove a rift between more-than-friends Krypto and Streaky, and a timed-just-right save by Bat-Cow. Kudos to Tomasi for a mostly silent issue (or at least mostly filled with barks and yips) that fully delivers; the antagonistic alien that's been kidnapping pets isn't totally wrong in his want to "liberate" them, and the story begs for a sequel where Tomasi delves into it all more doggy deeply.

'Super Sons, Vol. 3: Parent Trap' by Peter J. Tomasi with art by Jorge Jimenez continues to be one of my favorite recurring titles, in spite of the appearance of the Super Pets.

Talia al Ghul is back to claim her son Damian, and Jon learns more about his friend than he might be able to handle. Damian proves to be better than his nature, though. There is an episode with the Super Pets, which wasn't my favorite. The final story involves Amazo and turning the Justice League in to giant batteries. Jon and Damian find themselves in the midst of it. Can they save the grown ups?

I really like this series. The art is consistently really good in this volume. The stories are warm, funny, and still have believable action to them. I wasn't crazy about the Super Pets story, but even it wasn't terrible.

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.

Great Stories! Especially love the one starring the Super pets and Batman pets. The drawing is great, stories are great! Love the two main characters. While few children have an assassin for a mother, many can empathize with not wanting to go into the family business. Lots of action but much to make you think which children may or may not realize. A very worthy entry into the Bat and Superman family world of DC.

I have loved this series because it’s the first one to ever make me enjoy Damian as a character. He and Jon are perfect foils to each other and it’s been really fun watching Damian and Jon change as their relationship has grown.
There are 3 different stories in this volume. The first is a cute super pets story with them gathering together to track down missing pets.
The second story, Talia returns to tempt Damian back into her clutches.
The third story sees Kid Amazo and the Justice League to round out the end of this series,
I like the artwork and the humor is fun and enjoyable. I’ll miss this series but I’m looking forward to what the super sons will do next.

The sons of Superman and Batman return. The evil villain is a surprise, however--Damian's mom. She hopes to return him to the world of villainy, and some of his past (for a young kid, yet!) is revealed. I didn't find it as strong a story (can't give spoilers), but it's always fun to see this mashup. Buy for fans of the series.

Super Sons (2017-) Vol. 3: Parent Trap contains 3 stories, targeting different ages and tastes. So I have to remember that the target audience is kids when I read. Not necessarily adults, but kids.If I forget, I unfairly judge. Story one: animals kidnapped away from their owners. Okay, for me the adult, it was meh. But again, I know the younger readers--especially animal lovers--will eat it up. Story two: Damian and Jonathan’s adventures, meeting Damian’s mother--that was more intense and the most enjoyed story of the three. The character building is strong, and so are the relationships between the two young heroes. Story three: Kid Amazo and the Justice League in Danger. Another good action packed story, continuing from earlier stories. Shows that some villains can put the entire Justice League in danger. I shy away from giving any more description of the stories because spoilers can, well, spoil. But the artwork is fantastic, the humor very satisfying, and the volume a complete success. in my book. Highly recommended.

I knew I was in trouble as soon as the first super-pet showed up on the scene. That stupid arc was then followed by a simple story involving the Super Sons trying to save Lois Lane. There should have been interesting stakes in terms of emotion and the like in that story, but it was frustratingly binary. Finally, there's a story involving a fight against Amazo, which could have brought everything full circle for the series in an interesting way, but instead the fight was pretty bland.

I really did like this series, I was in the mood for something not too heavy and I found it here; it would be kid-friendly for me minus the attempted assassination of Lois by Talia. The dynamic between Damian and Jon are shown great here, though the storyline of Talia gunning for Lois was simple but it showed how Damian is changing and how Talia's reaction to it. The storyline of the Super-pets saving the pets of Gotham was pretty cute, kinda cheesy but I liked it. The last two chapters show the boys saving their fathers along with the rest of the Justice League while hacking into cyborg after someone breaks into their HQ.

The artwork of this series is great, it seems to go well with the arc of the two boys and helps with the dynamic of the boys.

Cute, but not particularly memorable aside from a few zingers at Batman's expense. I feel like if you're going to introduce Talia, she needs more than an issue or two... but maybe she'll be back. The constant references to events that happened in other comics is a pet peeve of mine and it's irritating here, but I guess it's relatively standard for DC. The art is consistently good on this title, which I appreciate. Not sure why it's necessary to end the Super Sons title just to restart it immediately as "Adventures of the Super Sons" but the ways of the comics book industry are as always mysterious... I'm glad it'll continue at all, I guess. I like having a DC title I can recommend to kids besides DC Superhero Girls.

The first two volumes of this series have done well in my library's collection thus far (and I was slow on the uptake, so they've only recently been added), so I had to read this one as well. I'm sad to learn that this is the final volume of this series, though there is a sequel series of sorts coming soon. I love how accessible Super Sons is to anyone who wants to get into American comics, but doesn't really know where to start; if you know who Superman and Batman are, you'll easily get who Superboy and Robin are and any other connections are easily explained without being overbearing (Robin's mother, for example). At the same time, anyone who does already know DC Comics is going to get even more out of this series and I just love that duality.

Super Sons Vol.3: Parent Trap find the boys doing what they do best- Damien Wayne bringing the bad attitude and snark and John bringing lightheartedness and fun. The first chapter actually follows the superpets as they rescue some stolen pets. The next two chapters find the boys knee deep in trouble as Damien's momma shows up to check on his training. Having to channel his inner goodness, Damien manages to take on his mother with the sarcasm that we have all come to love. The last two chapters of the book deal with the return of an old foe as the boys have to get a little help from Cyborg. Airy and fun, the book passed much too quickly and left me grinning like a fool . The art is beautifully colored and drawn and just adds to the entertainment value for a great jovial read. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from Netgalley.

Well, this was disappointing.
I generally quite enjoyed the previous two volumes of the Super Sons series. The story went some interesting directions while overall being pretty kid-friendly and fun, and avoiding being so kiddie as to be dumb. This volume unfortunately broke away from the good and fell squarely into the dumb aspects that I was afraid the series would.
I knew I was in trouble as soon as the first super-pet showed up on the scene. That stupid arc was then followed by a cartoonishly simple story involving the Super Sons trying to keep Talia al Ghul from killing Lois Lane. There should have been interesting stakes in terms of emotion and the like in that story, but it was frustratingly binary. Finally, there's a story involving a fight against Amazo, which could have brought everything full circle for the series in an interesting way, but instead the fight was pretty bland.
Ugh. I really didn't like this.

Super Sons Vol 3. is not anything super special. It is a cute, light hearted romp with the two super lads. I didn't find anything about this book extraordinary, in a positive or negative way. The banter and amusingly old school plots kept me reading, but I doubt I will be in any rush to pick up the next volume.
