Super Sons (2017-2018) Vol. 1: When I Grow Up

Damien Wayne the ultra serious assassin turned robinteams up with Jonathan kent the son of clark and louisalso known as superboy.it a odd couple comedy adventureas the sweet and good hearted superboy is constantly at odds withthe cynical son of the batman.some how these pair manage to save the worldwhilst constantly bickering with each other over everything.I was surprised how much i liked this bookgiven i usually prefer the classic grim/dark dc books.i highly recommend ithe writes children really well

The art is amazing. Action is great. Writing is smart. Kids are written as kids and not weird adults in children's skins as Marvel tends to do these days. It's one of the best books DC has released in the last relaunch of the universe, no doubt.

I started to read this book convinced that I would get a dozen or so pages in and give up. I am not a lover of child superheroes and find the mere concept of the Damian Wayne Robin to be the silliest and most unrealistic superhero portrayal of them all (and that is in a book with Superman!). I was very pleasantly surprised - yes, I still dislike the Robin character, although he is beautifully written as a complete brat, but Tomasi writing and Jimenez's artwork are SO good that they overcame my prejudice.A most enjoyable piece of fantasy and one that I would recommend even if it still hasn't changed my opinion on the stupidity of the Damian Robin character.

Received today!

I have only just reached "rebirth" after finishing the majority of 'New 52' and I have to say that this is already one of my favourites. Light hearted and a fun read. Damian is as badass as ever, but toned down to the extent you would expect from a bratish child instead of a bratish teenager. It makes all the difference!

What can you do in comic series cross overs to inject tension when you have allowed the main protagonists to become firm friends, you give them kids and magnify the traits that will cause conflicts but never let them kill each other. Will Jon and Damien become friends ? The signs are all there..... is it a bad thing. Not necessarily . The rating is the midway point and reflects a balance between the lack of originality against the characterisation of the protagonists . Would recommend it to those close to the age of the boys and readers of any age who liked the originals early days and wondered what would have happened if they'd met as kids.

Historia recomendable que por desgracia sufre del problema que veo en casi cualquier tpb pasta suave en inglés que he comprado por este medio. Su primera y última página se despega del resto del cómic dando la impresión de que se va a deshojar. Tengo la impresión de que esto ocurre ya que por el tipo de portada esta se llega a abrir un poco más debido a la rigidez de la misma y no se curva como el resto de las hojas de interiores, la primera y última hoja al estar pegadas a la pasta llegan a ser arrastradas con esta haciendo que se abra de más pero al mismo tiempo evitando que se deshoje, he visto que esto se puede evitar con un empastado como los del título Descender de Jeff Lemire que está publicando editorial océano en mi país haciendo que la pasta se doble un poco más arriba del lomo evitando que se abra de más, claro habría que ver la manera de que así no se pierds el contenido que se ubica en la parte central del cómic sobre todo en las viñetas que abarcan 2 páginas y que las portadas no se dañen por ese tipo de doblez.

Love this volume! I am so excited to see more artwork from Jorge J! Definitely want to try and get him to sign it!As far as the writing goes, fantastic interaction captured between superboy and robin.After reading, I immediately ordered the second volume.

"Robin e Superboy se unem em sua HQ própria para enfrentar o crime e se meterem nas mais divertidas confusões!" - Taí uma ótima chamada para a edição.Os novos parceiros de aventura não podiam ser mais diferentes. Damian passou a infância sendo treinado pela liga dos assassinos e mostra toda a malandragem com apenas 13 anos. Jonathan ainda não desenvolveu seu poderes completamente e é o escoteiro perfeito com seus 10 anos. São aqueles amigos de colégio que discordam de tudo, trocam insulto e socos, mas, no fim, vão para a casa estudar juntos.Temos no primeiro encadernado, com as cinco primeiras edições, uma história praticamente fechada que mostram esses “moleques” se metendo em muitas enrascadas e tentando resolver um grande mistério após alguns roubos na LexCorp. Temos também algumas participações especiais que alimentam a história, mas a grande sacada são as diferenças entre as personalidade. São muitas situações de rir sozinho com Robin se achando o máximo para cima do Kent e depois pedindo ajuda sem dar o braço a torcer ou o Jonathan esquecendo a lição número um de todo super e chamando o Dam… quer dizer… Robin pelo nome real.Me diverti bastante com as histórias que me lembram quadrinhos mais leves, mas com uma história interessante e bem amarrada.

Story: I'm really happy that a book with a great base premise could be well written. Peter Tomasi is an industry veteran and he's probably overall the best writer that DC has right now. Being able to write two five star titles at the same time is really something you only see from Geoff Johns and Scott Snyder. This book goes to show that Tomasi really is a higher caliber writer than maybe the fans gave him credit for. I haven't read the New 52 Batman and Robin run he did with Patrick Gleason, but I'd like to after having read his Superman run as part of Rebirth. There's so much to love here!! One thing I know readers will like is that Damien and Jon actually act like the kids they are, not like adults who think they know everything. Getting the super sons together on their own little mission was a fantastic idea by DC, and this first volume goes to show that Damien and Jon have just as much chemistry together as Batman and Superman. Are they friends? Are they just allies? Is Superboy simply Damien's tool? Maybe they're all those things. But, I think readers will be pleasantly surprised in the end. These two go to LexCorp to investigate a break in, where Damien discovers that some kid did something to Amazo, and he stole some armor. This story makes a flashback to the New 52 Justice League: Injustice League volume involving the breakout of the Amazo virus. Turns out that many people got powers, but even after the cure was administered, some people kept their powers, and this family became superheroes saving Providence, RI from Titano, the Super Ape! But, apparently, one of the boys, Reggie, didn't care too much for his family and held them hostage for a little under a year while he killed robot duplicates of them over and over again. Talk about a child sociopath! Jon and Damien get embroiled in civilian rescues, woodland chases, and a big showdown between them, Kid Amazo (Reggie), and SuperLex, who wants his armor back! There's a bunch of cool action scenes, some fantastic dialogue, and I even laughed out loud several times. I don't find most comics funny, but this one was. The book is light hearted enough to give to kids to read, but it's also serious enough to buy the threat. By the end of it, I felt that it was a blast to read. Very much enjoyed it! I can't wait for volume 2!Art: Jorge Jimenez does a fantastic job. His style is very similar to Patrick Gleason, which is fine because Gleason also does a great job on the main Superman title. Jimenez has some interesting page layouts and composition, and he really knows how to craft an action scene! Some of the faces he draws, especially for Damien, are just so perfect for the moment. This is a guy that I want to see so much more of in the future. He's drawing pure gold on this title. The colors are really awesome too! This book really pops out, as it should for such a lighter toned book. Dustin Nguyen's variants at the back are super sweet and cool! It's so awesome he got to do that cover with Kid Amazo on it. Fans of his will instantly be reminded of his work on Descender.Overall: What a fun book! I honestly can't think of any complaints about it. It absolutely deserves its five star rating. I'm steadily becoming a bigger and bigger fan of Peter Tomasi due to his awesome storytelling. I gotta get volume 2 of this book!

Liebe den Charakter Jon er ist toll kannte ihn ja bereits aus den Superman Rebirth Comics.Ich weiß das viele Damian nicht mögen ich finde ihn gut grad im Zusammenspiel mit Jon funktioniert er sehr gut.
