This book straddled the funny – cheesy borderline, but this is on purpose as the author clearly set out to write a fun story with tongue firmly held in cheek.
I really enjoyed the backstory of Bucky, the writer made him much more of a badass than what I imagined (Bucky, not the Winter Soldier).
The subject matter is serious and dark. Emotional leaders making bad decisions, abusing their authority.
Mr. King lets The Joker and The Riddler to shine in this issue. I have never found The Riddler to be much of a challenge in previous incarnations, but this Riddler is a true equal to The Joker, just as manipulating, devious and evil.
The narrative merges fact and fiction, to tell two stories that even though are worlds apart, are still connected through a common language, ideology, politics, and art.

Graphic Novel Review: Super Sons (Rebirth) Vol. 1: When I Grow Up by Peter J. Tomasi & Chris Burnham
I noticed that I’m enjoying this book way more than I should. It was a real nice surprise and I’m glad my friend recommended it to me.
The prose flows, the story is mystical and powerful at the same time
A good story but not one that gets a hold of you and doesn’t let go
The artwork is excellent this is how I imagined James Bond to be when I was reading the Fleming novels Someone is assassinating allied agents-James Bond is next
