Super Sons #1 preview: The next generation of Batman and Superman unite

A new generation of the world’s finest takes on new threats in Super Sons #1.

Batman and Superman are worlds apart, yet most of the time they are close allies and might even be each other’s best friend. So it’s only natural that their sons, who are budding superheroes in their own right, might naturally team up as well, just like their famous superhero fathers.

But it might be said that Jon Kent and Damian Wayne have even less in common than their respective fathers. Can they get along and become the next generation of the world’s finest superheroes? Check out a preview for Super Sons #1 below, courtesy of the A.V. Club:

I definitely feel like this is a kind of story comics doesn’t do enough of. You don’t see Spider-Man’s daughter teaming up with the Human Torch’s son or anything like that. It doesn’t have to be a constant theme, but I really like the idea of superheroes who are best friends and if and how their kids get along.

Super Sons looks like a really fun book, so be sure to check it out when it’s available tomorrow, February 15th!
