Sidekicks: The Transfer Student

In this 2002 one-shot from Oni Press, Sidekicks: The Transfer Student introduces a new student at a school for superhero sidekicks, exploring the social dynamics and training of young heroes-in-training. The issue, written by J. Torres and illustrated by Takeshi Miyazawa, captures the lighthearted, character-driven tone that defined the publisher's early 2000s output. Though brief, it stands as a snapshot of Oni Press's willingness to play in the superhero sandbox with a fresh, indie sensibility.
