The Sidekicks Initiative: A Comedy Superhero Adventure by Barry J. Hutchison
4.0
Superheroes are currently big business in the world of ingested media….. but what if they were s**t? I don’t mean bad people(The Boys has that covered), just really frigging bad at it.
And here we have the sidekicks initiative, drafted mostly against their will to save the world.
So this is lighthearted. It’s funny, like laugh out loud funny, but also carries a pretty good story throughout that didn’t just feel stupid(though it was!). There was enough depth here to know that you’re reading a comedy writer than makes a good story funny, as opposed to making funny carry the story.
Seriously this was a great read with excellent humour and excellent characters. Just read it. I don’t want to spoil anything but Randy is just the best! Totally perfect as a character!
