Can the Super Sons go back to what they used to be?
Jon is remembering the simpler times when he was a kid and Damian has arrived to help him do so by going into an adventure like in the old days.
Oh, how I missed this and is pretty clear that Peter Tomasi did too.
Super Sons was probably one of the best books out there when it was being released. Tomasi gave both Damian and especially Jon an engaging personality along with an entertaining and charming friendship, nobody has nailed the dynamic between these two like Tomasi did and it seems like he's very aware of that because of how this story starts right away.
The chapter opens with Jon missing the simpler times when he was a kid and I'm pretty sure that Tomasi speaks for all of us here. The fact that he's addressing how things were better when Jon was a kid before the abrupt aging he suffered makes you realize that he wants to write stories about Kid Jon once again (and is probably waiting for this whole grown up era to stop already), but he doesn't leave things there since he actually explores how this affected both Jon and his parents and gets solid character work from it.
The best part starts once Damian arrives obviously and I was also missing Tomasi handling the character. Damian here is just fun, constantly teasing Jon and taking himself too seriously in a childish kind of way and well, that's Damian all right. The interactions between the two as written by Tomasi are enjoyable as ever despite of all the issues that happened between the two since then.
The plot is mostly an excuse to get these two back together but it still presents good moments like the protagonists understanding a monster who is destroying the Fortress of Solitude or simply fighting Natzis which is always entertaining to watch.
Viktor Bogdanovic's artwork is always pleasent to see. His style reminiscent of Greg Capullo's is beautiful as ever with expressive characters and following the story perfectly.
Good read, hope to see Kid Jon once again.
