SIDEWAYS #3 by Kenneth Rocafort, Dan Didio, Justin Jordan, and Daniel Brown features great art amidst killer action and characterization! Read Full Review

Sideways has a pretty bright future in the DC Universe. He's fun, different, and is going up against some interesting foes. I'm looking forward to finding out what he steps into next. Read Full Review

Sideways #3 puts us in a place where a reader could find more reason to invest in this story. Currently Sideways best represents the superhero side of the New Age of DC Heroes line. His origin, interactions, costume, and encounters so far prove that he is making the most progress to something legitimate. That is if Derek can grow up fast enough to survive the rough patches that comes with this lifestyle. Read Full Review

What's even better is that the art matches the quick and exciting personality of the character, making for an adventurous read for anyone who buys it. Read Full Review

Hopefully, people see what a wonderfully creative book this is, not for its story or plot, but for how it's being created. There are so many old-school elements that have been dusted off and polished that it's extremely interesting and creative. That alone isn't a reason to read it though, but the fact that all of those elements come together and produce a superhero comic that's not dark and gritty and full of death, but instead is fun with a little bit of gore, well that's the reason to read it.

I'm not sure about the four-page backup (by the same creative team) that recaps Derek's origin from his perspective, but the issue overall is a win for DC. Read Full Review

Overall I'm still on board with this book. Looking forward to seeing what's next for Derek! Read Full Review

He's got enemies, has made mistakes, and there are consequences for his actions, all of which makes this one of the more consistent entries in the New Age of Heroes. This is a likable character in an interesting story that will likely get better as time goes on Read Full Review

A fun issue that gets better with each issue. Good story and great art, but needs room for character development. Read Full Review

Overall, Sideways #3 keeps the quality. Granted, I think it should be moving faster and I think it's been consistently wasting its side characters, but I like what's been established so far and the action's good. I give it a solid recommendation. Read Full Review

For a series that launched under a label that promises bold, new heroes and concepts, "Sideways" has still not found a way to be unique and relevant with issue #3. Not a bad comic per se, and with truly beautiful art, but one that seems content on telling an old story with just touches of new ideas. Read Full Review

The comics is making improvements in some areas and taking steps back in others.Sideways #3showed some good action sequences, but the series really needs to manage its tone better. I am not giving up on this series, but I am hoping things settle down soon. Read Full Review

I gave this series a chance and it hasn't lived up to its initial promise in the slightest. The plotting is pretty bad and the art could have used some more work. Everything just feels like a mess, making this the weakest New Age title by far. Read Full Review

Art was fantastic, as always. Some of the dialogue was so-so, though the story was still fun. Some very interesting reveals, which make me excited about what's coming next. Not too sure why a backup story which just retells the origin of the main character was needed, especially in the third issue of the series.

Story is still great. The dialogue is pretty cheeseball though. And how does super strength randomly manifest? That's just lazy giving him super strength.

A story about a younger hero that cares for his family and is not a Nihilist by Justin Jordan and Dan "the dark man" Didio?

Too good to be true but it is a good story and decent art. We know it wont continue.
