About the series
From 2014 to 2016, Sidekick was a two-issue Image Comics series from writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Tom Mandrake. The story explores the dark, grounded aftermath of a superhero's death, focusing on the former sidekick left to navigate a world without his mentor. It’s a compact, character-driven tale that strips away the usual caped heroics for a gritty, psychological examination of legacy and identity.
