'Super Sons Vol. 1: When I Grow Up' by Peter J. Tomasi and Jorge Jimenez is a team up book that features the sons of Batman and Superman together. I was less crazy about the villain in this book, but I love these two characters together.
Damian is Batman's son, and he is just like Batman would have been, had he been allowed to be Batman as a kid. Superboy is a gangly, awkward kid that is just as much of a boy scout as his dad. These two team up when Damian learns there has been a break in at Lex Luthor's headquarters and someone has stolen some technology. That technology leads Damian and Jon into trouble and fighting robot doubles of themselves.
Along the way, there is Damian bragging about being in the Teen Titans and telling Jon he can't be since he is not a teenager yet. Damian is a bit of a brat, but I like him a lot. I especially like when the boys end up grounded. In a one off story, that happens and Jon has to deal with the family moving away from their farm and to the big city of Metropolis.
This was just a lot of fun to read. The main villain was not all that interesting to me, but the story and art were just great and I can't wait to read more of these two.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Just a little something to clear my pallet after that harrowing rendition of Batman versus Joker (death in the family)

This is such a hecking fun series! Damien Wayne (13) is the cynical, bratty bad boy and Jon Kent (10) is the dreamy, wide-eyed goodie-goodie still starting to develop his Super powers. Tomasi does an excellent job of setting it up and keeping the tone and pacing consistent and strong.

I usually vibe pretty well with lighthearted comics, your Ms. Marvels, your Batgirls, but this just didn't click with me. Damian is turned up to eleven in the annoyance factor. Just couldn't wait to get through it.
robotswithpersonality's review against another edition
They're just so snarky! Considering the age range of the protagonists, there's a strong possibility of angsty or saccharine and this is neither. They're trying to do good or fight bad, they're messing up but they're learning and they've got guardians and parents looking out for them, and they're figuring out if/how they can work together. The Superman: Son of Kal-El series was my first introduction to Jon and Damian's friendship and I'm happy to read further about the foundations.

Asombrosoo💗 adoro tanto a Damian y Jon🥺. Son dos kiddos tan inmaduros pero a la vez tan preciosos, aún siguen explorando sus habilidades y es maravilloso como éste es el inicio para éste bonito equipo de dos.
Damian es súper egocéntrico pero no me sorprende ni un poco, siempre ha sido así y así lo amo. Jamás había explorado nada sobre Jonathan y me ha dado tanta ternura, él aún tiene mucho que aprender y espero que Damian lo ayude con eso.
La historia inicia muy bien, me encantan ambos y me encanta que Batman y Superman aparezcan, amo verlos siendo padres. Espero con el tiempo Robin y Superboy demuestren de lo que son capaces, los adoro muchoooo.
Me encantaría darle más ⭐️ pero detesté tanto al villano, me pareció tan uggh, pudieron haberles dado algo mejor🥺.
