With the conclusion of Sideways #4, Derek is really living up to the name when everything he tries to do comes up sideways. Things aren't getting better for the kid, and I think the strength of this story will come when he reaches a point to become humbled. A lot of our new heroes we admire because they had something tangible to achieve. In the case of Sideways that is both refreshing and risky when he loses appeal as a character. Read Full Review

Sideways is a delightfully clueless addition to the New Age of Heroes. He's fun and determined even if he's going to get people killed before he figures out how to properly use his powers. Read Full Review

Sideways is just about the only DC comic I'm keeping up with. Mostly because of the bizarre makeup of the creative team. It's an experiment that can only happen in comics, and while it's not nailing everything, it's not doing anything so wrong that I would say it's failed. Instead, I'm very curious to see where it's going to go next and hope that there's a lot more story to come. Read Full Review

Of the entire line, this is right next to The Terrifics for me as the best. Read Full Review

This issue shows why readers should get behind the New Age of Heroes initiative. The series has improved with each issue and Sideways #4 shows how great an original hero like Sideways can really be. I hope the humor and character development continue to be captivating. Read Full Review

Sideways still has potential. There is always a tease of a larger narrative working its way into the story. I just need that narrative to do what superhero stories do best – give us a superhero that aspires to be great and learns something along the way. Derek as he is, seems like a self-centered kid using his powers for the wrong reason. Thankfully, I think the story is pushing Derek toward more and more situations that are way over his head.

Everything about the character and his supporting characters is compelling. I struggle to find a reason to care about the lead. Read Full Review

In Sideways #4, the story finally starts to get stale, as the main character finds himself in a bit of a loop. Read Full Review

This is such a weak series that has already run out of creative steam in its fourth issue. What a milestone! The characters are running in place and these boring, paint-by-numbers villains don't add anything interesting to the story. It mostly looks pretty and that's honestly all this book has going on.

enjoying it.

Pretty decent, some interesting world building, but the series keeps moving forward very slowly.

Even though this issue, in comparison, is weaker than the previous ones Sideways continues to be a fun and enjoyable book.

Derek continues his "career" as a super-hero and there is still a huge amount of work and training ahead of him.

And as always Kenneth Rocafort does not disappoint.

Unsatisfying ending to the initial arc.

You know what is going to happen in the next issue if you ever saw or read Spider Man.

Dan Didio, master of darkening comics.

Justin Jordan, writer of himself and his opinions onto every character.

Too bad, the first 3 issues were at least worth paying for. Past this, not worth the price of admission.

what a waste of paper.
