Okay, so this was definitely the best issue yet. Glad they came back swinging after a much deserved break.
I'm still not sure anything beats the Hawkgirl issue, but this was pretty good too. Jon's horse for MVP.
Currently Reading:
DC: The Flash, Challenge of the Super Sons, Nightwing

Enjoyed the issue, but minor continuity question - is this the first time we saw Grid since New 52 wrapped up?
This is good news for me because I have read almost every thing on Super Sons (after I started rereading everything about Damian getting ready for his solo) and I have looked for more Super Sons adventures but I couldn't find anything. I don't really care about adult Jon so I'm not invested at all about the complications it poses lol.
Why is it called Challenge of the Super Sons?

Hi-ho Compu-horse! AWAY!
Its good to have this series back. Just having a fun adventure series is kind of cathartic.
I think Tomasi is utilizing the "everything happened" mandate part of writing at DC with this story, because previously they referenced the anti-lasso of truth that appeared in the New 52 Endgame storyarc but today's issue straight up references and cites the Tower of Babel from Mark Waid.
Either way another fun issue, and the ending should play with the scroll of doom concept in an interesting way.

Tomasi, I think, has established himself at this point as a big fan of Morrison so that approach is not surprising.

Today's issue...definitely not as good as the past two. And the art reflected that. I felt like I was reading a fan comic on tumblr. The troll piss joke was pretty funny...then Tomasi ruined it with Damian's OOC reaction. That's been a common complaint people have had with Damian since Super Sons began but I never really saw it until Adventures and Challenge. And even then, it's not very often.
But it's alright. He made up for it a few pages later when Damian tried to make Rora feel better about the drawing of her parents.
Sadly I have to agree with your post. The last two issues were fun, engaging and well paced with some solid moments like Jon's Compu-horse and Damian's science lesson on the genus of the Death Kraken whilst Jon is freaking out about the poison barb. This was the weakest entry in the series thus far in terms of both the writing and artwork.
This has still been a million times better than Adventures so that counts for something at least.
That seems to be a running thing so far. All of the worst issues are the ones with them in the past. In addition to the Faust and Savage stuff just...not being very interesting, it's a total momentum killer.
