A review by bibliocat08
Side-Kicked by Miguel Mendonça, Bong Dazo, Russell Brettholtz
3.0
This comic wasn't bad but it wasn't really great. I liked the premise of the often overlooked and under-appreciated sidekicks getting fed up and taking their skills else where. I did enjoy the hubris of the superhero/villain and the idea that they needed their sidekicks to maintain the status quo in Chicago. I couldn't really tell what was going on at the end. Are they making a super team of sidekicks? Are they just making themselves the superheroes?
My big issue was the play on other superheros by the author. The Fox being Batman, Frostbite being Frozone from The Incredibles, Mr Marvelous being Superman. If it had been more overt and maybe a little kitschy it would have worked better for me but it just seemed like they were burying the lead on criticism of the superhero archetype.
