Satisfying end to a good arc. This series continues to be fun.

Ready to get back to work?!
Can't wait to read this in a graphic novel!

This wasn't as lovable for me as the past issues.
For one thing, I'm not a big fan of the art in the middle of it and I never got super attached to Hard Line and Big Shot (I think that's her name). It looks like they're moving on to their own story to protect themselves which is pretty interesting.
I really liked the last few pages with Clark and Damian begrudgingly admitting that Jon gives a great speech!
Can't wait to see what the next arc will be!

SUPER SONS (ISSUE #6 - ISSUE #9) : PLANET OF THE CAPES
There was a lot to like in this , like the exchanges between Damian and Jon . The two share some fantastic moments together , both funny and intense . They really do feel like two children playing together .
The art during the first few issues of the story was also to my liking , however towards the end the art style changed and while the colour pellet still stayed brilliant to look at the facial expression kind of bugged me .
As far as the plot goes , it started off really nice , but the finale came out of nowhere and due to a Speech , which is right up there on top of my The most annoying ways to finish a story list , along with Ex-Machinas of course .
Also , as this story arc showed , if Jon is doing the job as both the brains and the brawn of the team , then what purpose , besides being annoying and obnoxious , does Damian serve in the team ?

I like the idea of these two building a little of their own mythos. I'm also a fan of the baby-steps of character growth we see in Damian in these last two issues.
The scene with Clark at the end was pretty special, too.

That was a very unexpected and impactful ending! I loved it.

Glad this arc is at its end. Was getting a little flat with it so drawn out for multiple issues.

I really liked this comic! Superboy is so inspirational and he really shined in this comic. I liked the way this arc ended and what a hopeful note it was!
So Superboy and Robin realize trying to fight a planet is pretty impossible.
Hard Line and Big Shot are clay kids, apparently.
I love Superboy! When he gives these types of speeches, he never comes off as cheesy. He’s genuinely inspirational.
Oh, my heart. That’s amazing.
Like this really sassy superman.

Superboy: You do what every hero does…the best you can.
Robin: Jeez, you sound like your dad.
Superboy: Thanks, I’ll take that as a compliment.

Kraklow: The best I can.
Oh, my heart. That’s amazing.
Damien: Can I get a cup of coffee, too, Superdad?
Clark: Stunts your growth. Jon says you need all the help you can get.
Like this really sassy superman.

It was really nice to see Kraklow help Superboy and Robin out. He changed for the better and ended up dedicating himself to saving the world he was partially responsible for destroying. Superboy and Robin gave everyone in that world new hope. Superman was as usual, proud of the boys. This was a nice conclusion to the arc. The timing for the arc did feel clunky, though. It was technically a four part arc but really felt like the meat of the story was confined within these last two issues. It was a nice filler, though.

A satisfying conclusion to the arc. Was a bit confused by the change in art style midway through the issue. I'm excited to see how Damian's character is handled going forward, cause i can see him feeling that Jon might be the better superhero - after all, he has the powers and

Java me up, Superdad
End of the arc. There's a cool setup at the end for a new comic run that seems like it would have potential.
Once more, I beg that this series runs for literally ever and ever. I can't believe we're only on issue #9!

The story was ok, el villano fue vencido (por ahora) y los mini-heroes deben creer en un antiguo villano para que protega a los chicos de otra dimensión.
El mensaje del villano fue muy positivo, sin embargo este issue me dejó con ganas de más.

This book continues to impress. What a wonderful story. I feel like we got a lot in 4 issues. It didn't feel like any scene was a waste. Masterfully done!

Why did the art style change all of the sudden!?
