Man, I grew up on these stories; for some reason, the comics which survived from my mom's collection included the majority, if not the entirety, of the Super-Sons stories, and I loved them to death. In fact, I remember looking around a couple of years ago to determine if they'd ever been collected in TPB, finding to my dismay that they hadn't. And now they will be, a mere four days before the anniversary of when I was from my mother's womb untimely ripped. I know what I'm asking for.

There are some weird story choices in the series...but on rereading them today, for all their logical shortcomings, they also have a lot of soul. Haney was writing from the heart. And it's nice to see that farewell story from the MIA Elseworlds 80-Page Giant get an official release at last.
But I have to admit I'm kinda miffed that someone at DC remembered the Super-Sons. What are the odds this means we'll have to watch while Geoff Johns or somebody like that mangles it in a revival?
I think it probably has more to do with the fact that both Batman and Superman have son-characters right now, with Damien and Chris, respectively.
I don't know...to me, it's just not the Son of Superman/Batman unless they've got a giant Roman numeral II underneath the insignia.
