Challenge of the Super Sons

Newest addition to the Super Sons saga by Peter Tomasi started on December 14th. It’s planned for 14 digital chapters collected in 7 printed issues, first of which is planned for April 13th. After the 7th chapter which will be released on Monday January 25th is a “season break” planned. No words when it will come back after it. 
The books is starting where Adventures of Super Sons ended. Tomasi is omitting that Jon Kent was already aged and starts being member of Legion of Superheroes. He is writing adventures from times when Jon was young, full of energy and so he could be a partner of such a brat as Damian Wayne is. Art by Max Raynor and Jorge Corona (issues 4 and 5) is very good, a little bit childish, but no sweet.

It is the successor to Wonder Woman: Agent of Piece and Sensation Comics featuring Wonder Woman.

The Next Batman: Second Son

For February DC exactly announced only one title in recent days, but it is very possible that we will also have the Static Shock series. It was announced at DC Fandome in august as part of Milestone relaunch, but no details we have since - no release date, creators... . But it can be changed quickly,  Sensational Wonder Woman was announced with every detail 3 weeks before start. And in this week's DC Universe Infinite announcement was a very big part for Milestone comics so it is possible. 
But this only one February series is a big one, even if it is mini. It’s The Next Batman: Second Son by John Ridley. We know now that new Batman in his stories in Future State: The Next Batman anthologies is Tim Fox, but the digital first Second Son title has described his origin and family.
