Jon is ready to tell what happened to him to Damian but sadly, this won't stop him from joining a new team.
I was expecting to hate this... and I still did.
Brian Bendis offers a new installment where he tries, and the key word is "tries", to write the Super Sons but he completely fails at creating the dynamic that Peter Tomasi invented. First of all, Bendis can't write Damian, like, at all, he writes him as overly childish and silly at times which is something that Damian can be admitedly but not to this level and it was pretty obvious from the beginning he can't write Jon and it's even more obvious once that you see their interactions.
The dynamic between Jon and Damian as written by Tomasi was pretty good because it depicted the former as overly serious and the latter as more of a normal kid, both personalities clashed but ultimately became friends. Here is none of that clash, Damian as mentioned before is overly goofy and for some reason Jon is too pleasent instead of the little kid who liked to annoy Damian at times, they're written to safe, probably to compensate for how unlikable Bendis portrayed Jon early on his work but this still feels wrong. Also, hugs don't automatically make a story more charming and a grown-up Jon messes-up the classic dynamic.
David LaFuente's artwork is the only thing that seems fitting here due to his semi-cartoony style that gets good character expressions and storytelling.
Bad, just bad and the fact that Jon leaves the present to go to the Legion makes things worse.
