So SuperSons The PolarShield Project was a thing..... that I read. Aah. Okay this title shouldn't have been called Supersons.

It has non of their charm that made the supersons.
It has original characters not found in the main comics.
It just baffles me why attache the Supersons name to this when it's not true to the core concept. It's not even the Supersons in name.

I get that the name Damian has pejorative meaning but it has symbolic meaning in the story which was why he's named as such. It has a meaning that's pretty significant and central to who the character is and his story.

The folly of having a writer who isn't familiar with the comics and content is that they are not familiar with the characters and content. So you end with characters who are not like themselves. You end with something alien and unrecognisable defeating the purpose you set out to achieve in the first place.

How is this supposed to help new readers into comics when it doesn't feature Characters from the comics?


It makes me really sad that this will be someone first introduction to the SuperSons. It is nothing like the real deal and the characters are painfully generic and unimaginative.

John is moody and Ian is a broody generic pampered bat looking for a fight.

I know I'm not the target audience for this book and target audience will likely find Ian Kewl in that Spy kids Nick junior way but it made me sad.

I didn't much care for this either. Not just the liberties they took with the characters but the story itself seemed lackluster. It misses the mark on what the Supersons are about.

If DC wanted to hook new readers then Tomasi's Supersons was already doing that and was already being recommended by parents for schools. They could have had the man himself do a Zoom title.

My daughter who is a huge Damian fan thought it was "meh" [her words] my son who isn't as big a comic/Damian fan though he loves the Supersons liked it and can't wait to finish it. my Daughter is going on 13 and my son is 9. So my son is more the demo that this title targets.

My son also didn't seem to mind the change in the characters though my daughter found it offensive.

We will continue with the Zoom series in my household.

Jon is very cheery for someone who spent years being tortured by Ultraman.
I'm looking forward to the Supersons meeting up again but not looking forward to bendis writing it.

I forgot that she came up with those nicknames. I wish we had more Babs and Damian interactions. They have surprisingly very few scenes together
