![]() After all that mess with the Titans of Tomorrow and Evil!Tim Drake, it’s nice to finally see Damian and Jon in school, a setup that was promised months ago but has only appeared now. Image via DC ComicsĬorrina: Are we over a year into this comic already? Interesting! It has been uneven but when it’s good, it’s very good. I don’t know if I quite buy their friendship entirely yet, but this issue is definitely a step up in that direction. ![]() The banter between Damian and Jon, while still pretty acerbic on Damian’s end, is less overtly hostile than it tends to be. I’m not sure if she wants him to do anything particularly evil or if she needs his help against a worse evil, but I remember that Talia in Damian’s solo series was a lot more of a grey character than Morrison’s version. However, the issue shifts focus nicely from normal kid drama to the appearance of Talia Al Ghul, trying to recruit her son for a secret mission. There’s no reason Damian should still look like the pipsqueak he does here (Tom King and Joelle Jones’ take was the only one who actually looked like the young teenager he is). I do have to say I have a few quibbles with the art across the board in this series – Damian is a teenager and Jon is ten. Despite this, Jon notices he’s isolated and tries to get him to be a little nicer – without any success, as is normal for Damian. After getting his class assigned extra homework, he’s instantly the most hated kid in the school, but he doesn’t seem to care. Damian…not so much, as he can’t seem to turn off his smarts and arrogance. Jon seems to be fitting in fine, having no problems taking dives on the kickball field to preserve his “normal kid” vibe and making another frenemy in the process (this kid seems to attract friends who are unusually rude to him). Super-Sons #13 finally makes use of the title’s best strengths, setting the majority of the story at the Metropolis West-Reeve school that Damian and Jon now attend. Ray – Super-Sons is up and down a lot, but when it’s on its game, it’s one of the most fun titles DC puts out.
