SIDE-KICKED GN (2025)

The infamous "Sidekick Strike" might have ended, but Chicago is still reeling. Can the vaunted super-heroes and their former "boy wonders" work together when the super-villains' former underlings unite? What about that impending alien invasion? And how many times can a foot be inserted in a mouth while addressing an all-female team looking for equitable treatment?

"The sold-out Side-Kicked is back, and Darby Pop has added two additional origin stories, the winning entries from our most recent 'Breaking into Comics' contest! It should come as no surprise to learn that, within the super-hero 'community,' egos run rampant. But how does all that free-flowing narcissism impact those standing just outside the spotlight? Chicago finds out when five of the city's most loyal Sidekicks finally grow tired of being disrespected by both the prima donnas they work with and the citizenry they strive to protect. And it's not like the Windy City needs another labor upheaval!"
