Sidekicks

The Sidekicks series, launched in 2011 by Scholastic, follows a team of young superhero trainees as they navigate the challenges of sidekick life under the guidance of established heroes. This single-issue debut establishes a lighthearted, all-ages tone, focusing on teamwork and personal growth rather than grim battles. While the series has only one issue to date, it represents Scholastic’s early foray into original superhero comics for young readers, blending humor with relatable school-age dynamics. Its concise premise offers a fresh, accessible entry point into the genre for middle-grade audiences.
