After the devastating loss of one of the most important people in his life, Derek James tries to throw himself into being the hero Sideways to distract himself. Unfortunately, new villain the Showman has arrived to tear those wounds right back open.
This is the best issue of Sideways to date, and, if it's a sign of what's to come, the series is only going to continue getting better. Read Full Review
That aside, we have a pretty strong issue. Sure, the villain of the week is nothing to cry home about, but he serves his purpose narratively. Sideways is easily becoming a great addition to the DC Universe. With hints of a greater destiny at hand and a shocking ending, it looks like we've got some good stuff coming. Read Full Review
Sideways is the start of something good. It is a series with the heart and soul of old school Spider-Man but bringing its own mix to the table. Read Full Review
Sideways #5 was the issue we needed to see that there is still more to offer with the right steps taken towards Derek evolving as a hero, and as a person. Teen drama can bite, but sometimes its just something you have to get used to in order to get to what's actually appealing. Read Full Review
There's an overarching mystery involving Derek's mother's employers and their interest in Derek, but I wouldn't be nearly as invested if this title hadn't done a good job of getting us invested in Derek's story in the first place. Aside from The Terrifics, this is probably my favorite of the line. Read Full Review
There is a more focused story developing in this book and it is making for a more engaging narrative with better character development. Read Full Review
This may be the best issue of the series yet. The art is fantastic and the story does exactly what I've been wanting to see since the beginning. Some beats don't work and need to be explored further, but on the whole, I was satisfied with this. Read Full Review
I love DC comics with all of my heart, and it pains me whenever I have to give a bad review. Unfortunately this is on the worse end of comics I have read, but I am hopeful that they can pull things around. Read Full Review
They have nailed what works about a young hero with Sideways. I think this may be my favourite new hero from the New Age line.
Slight step-back with a fill-in team, but still not bad. There's not much to push the story forward but there's a lot of good characterisation.
OMG this is like so youthful lol I can tell the writer is totes connected 2 the youth.
Justin Jordan and Dan Didio started with an interesting premise but lost it fast with the politics and pushing the justified hatred narrative that is the drug of the moron masses.
It is sad they had 4 solid issues and the this one is atrocious garbage.
Maybe one Dan will realize that the Dark Knight is one comic story, there can be others.
Maybe Justin Jordan will grow up one day and be a professional. Every story written by this guy changes characters to be a mirror of him. A writer who can't write characters that he would disagree with is at best a fan fiction writer who had enough connections and back room deals the get a job he does not deserve. At worst he is an activist who wants you to pay for prop more
