So as you can guess by the cover and by the ending of the last issue, this is focused on Damian and Jonathan, their respective Super fathers are putting then through a boot camp to learn how to work together and as you can imagine it doesn't go smoothly.
The interplay between the 2 super sons is excellent throught the issue, they are presented with several trials to earn their capes and insignias back, they fail at them all because they just cant work together, I really thought I was going to find Jonathan Kent boring as hell and was hoping he would be written out somehow but to my surprise the character is a lot of fun, I have always loved Damian so theres no surpises for me digging his character, though I find not all writers get him quite right, this take is perfect. So the trials are set up so they have to work together to proceed, but even when they try to they just can't stayon the same page. Supes and Bats call time on the trial as their last failure almost leads to the getting splatted, they all return to the cave where the Superdads are attacked and supposedly incapcited by what appears to be Clayface? but he is referred to as Mister Squish? Anyway its another set up and FINALLY the two work together, this looks to be leading to a nice warm and fuzzy ending, right up until the final page when they the dads leave the kids to their own devices for a moment and when they turn around the boys are trying to murder each other with an axe and saw respectively, this last page is just so perfect it actually made me belly laugh out loud, the look on Clark and Bruce's faces is pricelss.
The chemistry between the two supersons is hilarious and I forgot to mention, you also get to see Damian Wayne get hit in the face by a fish, I shit you not. Frankly if there is anyone reading this who could buy this and not be entertained then I find you suspicious as a human being.
Buy this if you like fun.
5/5
Elsewhere in comics;
Aquaman #11 this book just continues to be blood excellent, I am really enojoying this run and am totally invested in the story, I really loved seeing the League come see Arthur when he was in hospitla it was a really nice seen, and it made the ending that much more effective. Uncanny X-Men Annual #1 really strong issue, I am interested in seeing Elixir back amongst the living, this was an interesting development, and maybe a way for Prof X to return, as Elixir now seems to be able to raise the dead, they are still keeping Magneto on the right side of anti hero, dont you dare turn him villain again Marvel.
Batman #11 I should like this way more than I do, it may read more coherently if read in once which I will do when this arc finishes. Trinity #3 I really want to like this but its not grabbing me yet.
He-Man/Thundercats #2 big stupid fun with big swords and monsters, whats not to like
Nightwing #9 great issue reminding us again what an important character Nightwing is, and how in many ways he is like a cross between Batman and Superman. Supes is in town and hijinbx ensue.
Suicide Squad #6 Starting to keep my interest, this mini story in the back though is really grinding my gears I want more main story thank you very much!
Justice League #9 This is really moving in the right directions.
Green Lanterns #11 as is Green Lanterns, I'm actually quite enjoying this arc, well done.
Green Arrow #11 I am still really enjoying seeing Ollie and Dinah together and long may it continue!
Right thats yer lot, get lost.
