Super Sons #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first story arc of the Super Sons series, part of DC's Rebirth initiative, focusing on the unlikely partnership between Damian Wayne (Robin) and Jon Kent (Superboy). As the sons of Batman and Superman, the two young heroes clash over their vastly different upbringings and methods while reluctantly teaming up to face threats that test their abilities and their budding friendship. The collection includes issues #1–5 of the 2017 series, along with the Super Sons: Rebirth one-shot that sets up their dynamic.
In "When I Grow Up... Part One," Superboy, struggling with the weight of his new reality, storms off to the Batcave seeking connection with Robin—only to find himself in a heated clash with the younger hero. When their fight escalates, Alfred steps in with a quiet revelation: their fathers once faced the same rift, before forging an unlikely bond. Written by Peter J. Tomasi and illustrated by Alisson Borges, with colors by Hi-Fi and letters by Rob Leigh, this issue captures the emotional core of two young heroes navigating legacy, identity, and the fragile path to friendship. The cover, by Jorge Jiménez, captures their tense standoff with striking precision.
In "When I Grow Up... Part One," Robin teams up with Superboy to uncover a mystery tied to Lexcorp, but their investigation takes a sharp turn when they face Lex Luthor face-to-face—just as things start to get interesting.
In "When I Grow Up... Part Three: Sibling Rivalry," Robin and Superboy face off against android versions of Batman and Superman, manipulated by the cunning Kid Amazo—only to find an unexpected ally in the villain's own sister, whose motives remain shrouded in mystery.
