Adventures of the Super Sons #8

Issue eight of this 12-part maxi-series finds Jon Kent and Damian Wayne living up to the tagline "Renegade Heroes on Prison Planet" — and Dan Mora's cover delivers that premise with real energy. Superboy launches heat vision while Robin swoops in blade-ready, the two of them squaring off against a crowd of grotesque alien creatures in what looks like a sprawling otherworldly cityscape. Peter J. Tomasi and artist Carlo Barberi keep the friendship between these two sons of the World's Finest at the heart of the series, and this installment promises the kind of wild, high-stakes adventure that makes the Super Sons such a genuinely fun corner of the DC Universe.
