I requested to 'read this now' on Netgalley, though I then waited too long to download it, and instead received the title through an inter-library loan after it was published.
It tells the story of the forgotten superheroes, the neglected and disrespected sidekicks. After being taken for granted one too many times, a group of sidekicks form together and initiate a strike. They want to make sure the city's residents grant them some respect, and, perhaps even more importantly, they are looking for some validation from the superheroes that they side-kick for.
I mostly liked the artwork, though sometimes I found it difficult to determine who was who, and which people were the villians, during the fight scenes. That may just be due to the large number of characters as well.
There was just the right amount of text for me; I don't like it when graphic novels and comics become bogged down in long, explanatory text bubbles.
The storyline felt unique. I do wish it wasn't so heavily male oriented, however. Maybe they plan on further exploring the female sidekicks in a future series?
