    Both characters are intriguing rogues, in different ways, but they're also kids who have only had toxic influences in their lives. I could easily see this being the start of a redemption arc for the two of thembut I could also see them making themselves much worse with each other's help. Read Full Review

    With Jonathan Kent and Damian Wayne not hanging out with one another as much as they once did, thanks to the former's growth spurt, Sinister Sons has captured the feeling of fun that the Super Sons had in spades. Read Full Review

    A fun duo begins their journey in this almost mirror universe take on something similar to the Super Sons. Read Full Review

    Sinister Sons #1 isn't a bad debut at all. It has a focus and a need to achieve and it does it well. It's just not what readers really want to see, which is the two leads likely not get along while working together. It's the setup leading to the eventual payoff. So, on its own it flounders a bit but as a part of the overall story, it's likely to be a solid opening chapter. Read Full Review

    These sons may be sinister, but there's a lot of emotionality and potential in their pursuit of fate and legacy. Read Full Review

    There's just not much to grab the reader in this first issue. The characters are very strongly defined, but they just didn't grab me. Read Full Review

    I dug the prequel story thats starts in Green Lantern #4 and builds to Sinister Sons. I particular like David Lafuente's art. He has a modern looking manga style with charm, a la Scott Pilgrim but all his own. Will continue to check on this one month to month.

    Nothing very compelling here. The planet of supervillain kids in the last Super-Sons series was a lot more interesting.

    I hate the idea of Sinestro's son, no matter he is his true son or not. Tomasi, just stop this farce. Write your overflowing paternal love for Ghost Machine or something. Stop messing up DC's characters.
