Probably best issue so far.
Such a good issue. So many highlights, like Damian the clown, Jon's whole thing with the gas, even Damian explaining everything to a recently knocked out Hawkgirl... Whom he knocked out in the first place.
That's more like it. I'm back on board. If they can keep up this kind of quality, this could be a lot of fun.
The issue had some really great character beats, and I loved the play on the Adam West, "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb" bit with the poison gas...but the over all plot of the book so far is still really poorly conceived. The non-linear time traveling just doesn't make sense and it isn't getting any better.
I agree with this.The plot overall doesn't have much going for it.The Character interaction is the saving grace.Still a bit lacking on personal aspect to the story.
"People’s Dreams... Have No Ends"
What happened to this title? When is it continuing?
Yeah it's on break till March. A weekly series takes a lot of work. They earned this.
March 15, huh? Good to know. I'm subbed to them on Comixology too but I had no idea you could check when the next issue is expected to come out.
It's official. Challenge of the Super Sons is back, with at least 3 new issues, starting 15 March.

BOOP BOOP BEEP BOOP (that’s computer-talk for “Cyborg is in BIG TROUBLE.”) As Jon and Damian rush to save yet another Justice Leaguer from the death foretold to them upon the dreaded DOOM SCROLL, the super sons had better move quickly! It seems Cyborg has already fallen victim to an attack courtesy of GRID! But remember, if Cyborg finds out the boys saved him, the DOOM SCROLL’s curse will take the life of an innocent…Superboy and Robin won’t let that happen, though. Right?

Hey Aquaman, what’s KRAKEN? As the guardian of the deep finds himself in the clutches of a gigantic underwater baddie courtesy of the deadly DOOM SCROLL prophesy, the Super Sons stand ready to assist!

And after this encounter proves a little too close for comfort, Superboy and Robin are shocked discover the next names on the doom list: their own!

Digital Release Date: 29 March 2021.
Journey back with us once more through the mists of time to uncover the secrets of the Doom Scroll! Picking up where we left off in Chapter 5, Superboy and Robin have been rescued from the clutches of some truly wicked spells by their new ally, Rora. As Rora rushes to help the boys return to the present, their pursuers close in and prepare for attack – and Vandal Savage and Felix Faust are one deadly duo that mean BUSINESS.
Finally.
And I got unrelated question, I just noticed that DC some time ago has released a second omnibus - Expanded edition. Next to original series it also collects Adventures and Dynomutt special. Is it just me or is it a bit weird to release a second omnibus for Super Sons?
