We are willing to bet that at least a few of you had “a new Super Sons series” on your holiday wishlists, and if you did, then you’re in luck! DC Comics just announced an all-new digital Super Sons title will be launching on December 14th!
The new series, named Challenge Of The Super Sons, will come from the mastermind behind the original Super Sons series, Peter J. Tomasi. This time around, Tomasi will be paired up with artist Max Raynor. The story will focus once again on Jonathan Kent and Damian Wayne, picking up right where the last Super Sons book left off in 2018 (which is probably for the best, considering Jonathan is currently aged up and living in the future 31st century while Damian has just stepped down from the Robin mantle).
This new Challenge Of The Super Sons series is set to be published digitally in fourteen weekly chapters (priced at just $0.99 each!) beginning on December 14th. There is a planned “mid-season break” about halfway through the series publishing run. DC Comics has not yet said if this title will be released in physical print format at this time.

New ‘Super Sons’ Comic Book Series Starring Superboy and Robin by Peter J. Tomasi and Max Raynor Launches December 14!
This December, the Super Sons return! Jonathan Kent and Damian Wayne—DC’s World’s Finest Friends—are back in an action-packed new comic book series from writer Peter J. Tomasi (Detective Comics, Super Sons, Batman & Robin)! DC’s new series, Challenge of the Super Sons, debuts digitally on December 14, 2020, with the first of fourteen 99-cent chapters.
Picking up where Tomasi’s sensational Super Sons and Adventures of the Super Sons left off, Damian and Jon—the assassin-trained son of Batman and the boy-next-door son of Superman—tackle their greatest threat ever: the deadly DOOM SCROLL. Whoever (whomever? We can never tell) has their name inscribed on this ancient and magical parchment will be killed post-haste. Now, the evil powers-that-be have written the names of the Justice League on the deadly doc, and Superboy and Robin are the only ones who can save their dads from certain doom! The catch? No one can know it was the boys that saved them.
DC’s Super Sons saga began in 2017 when Tomasi and Jorge Jiménez launched Super Sons within DC’s Rebirth line of comics. Challenge of the Super Sons picks up directly after 2018’s Adventures of the Super Sons maxi-series left off—the boys are, indeed, back in town.
“Stories about Jon and Damian at this time in their lives allows me to tap back into those early years of my own life of being a crazy kid, while also allowing me to mine the fertile ground of my own son’s current adventures,” said Tomasi, “which in turn helps keep me tapped into the general zeitgeist of today’s youth and what they’re going through and thinking about. Jon and Damian are so different—the angel and the devil on your shoulder so to speak—with each one having such a distinctive backstory and perspective that the drama between them is organic and damn easy to bring to life on the page. Best of all, it’s a helluva lotta fun!”
Tomasi joins forces in this third Super Sons volume with artist Max Raynor (Batman/Superman), with additional guest spots by Jorge Corona (We Are Robin) and Evan Stanley (Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Boom), for another romp through the DC universe alongside everyone’s favorite Super Sons! Cover artwork for the new series is by Jorge Jiménez.
Challenge of the Super Sons debuts digitally on December 14, 2020, with the first of fourteen weekly 99-cent chapters. There will be a season break in the middle of the publishing run.
