About the series
Mark Waid and Peter Krause, the team behind Irredeemable, reunite at IDW for a sharp, modern take on the superhero sidekick dynamic. Launched in 2015, this series follows a retired hero who must reluctantly team up with his estranged, insufferably arrogant son—a former sidekick turned celebrity vigilante. Over eight issues, Waid and Krause explore generational conflict and the messy reality of legacy, delivering a character-driven story that deconstructs heroism with wit and heart. It’s a must-read for fans of grounded, psychologically complex superhero storytelling.
