Adventures of the Super Sons

by Peter J. Tomasi, Dan Mora (Cover Art), Protobúnker (Colorist)

Jon Kent learns it’s better to be dead than red…Kryptonite, that is! Traveling the cosmos to get home and escape the intergalactic teen baddies known as the Gang, Superboy and Robin wind up on the so-called “Planet of Mystery.” There, Superboy deals with Red Kryptonite exposure, which throws his powers out of whack, while the planet haunts and taunts them both with nightmare creatures. They’ll need to wrap up this rest stop ASAP though, as the Gang is hot on their tails looking for a pound of flesh—which is a lethal amount when you’re a tween!

Another pretty great issue! The chemistry between Jon and Damian is great and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next issue!

[Dylan Hope · Rating 4 out of 5]

My favourite issue so far, as I love comics with a haunted house feel to it. I love Jon and Damian's relationship and the humour is great. Not the best series I've read, not even close, but I'm still really enjoying it so far.

It was actually okay until the last couple of pages... *sigh... not a good series so far. Everything is so over the top tongue-in-cheek that it’s actually not even funny. I wish it were, but unfortunately it’s just bad.

A kinda disappointing follow up to the last issue which made me feel like this book is back to spinning it's wheels. I am starting to consider dropping this one.

I mean, it's 100% pure silliness, but it's so darned good, too.

The jokes almost all land with a natural wit that just flows straight off the page.

Amazing.

You just gotta love this series, every issue is greater than the previous one.
