Book Review: "Super Sons Vol. 2: Planet Of The Capes

Super Sons Vol. 2: Planet Of The Capes by Peter J. Tomasi

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book contains two stories.

First up is the four-issue Planet of the Capes which has Jon and Damian meeting up for some crimefighting as part of Jon's parents approved schedule for him learning to be Superboy. The adventure was supposed to end with Damian heading off on an adventure with the Teen Titans. However, things go horribly wrong and the Titans have to get Jon out of his pajamas and back into action after Damian is turned into a senior citizen.

The book is a lot of fun. Jon gets to interact with the Teen Titans and show his stuff and then they're whisked off to another world. The story is light and fun, and it moves at a really good pace. Being a four-issue story helps. A lot happens in that story but it has to happen to quickly.

"One Fine Day" is a nice little one-shot that focuses on the characters relationship and has fun with that. They also get a change to Damian's status quo. (That's not very good or well-thought out, but I can forgive that.)

Overall, these characters continue to be fun and this book is a delight to read.
