I've never really been a fan of Straczynski, but I guess I just never read the right stuff. I never read Midnight Nation or Rising Stars, his early creator owned books. I read a few sparse issues of various corporate superhero books and wasn't that impressed. Recently, he returned to his creator owned Joe's Comics imprint to go back to original content. I mentioned a couple months back that I tried out Ten Grand because of artist Ben Templesmith and really enjoyed it. So I figured, why not try out his new one Sidekick with artist Tom Mandrake. I might like this one even better.

Anyway, back on track, Sidekick takes place in a world with Superheroes but reads more like a story of a washed up child star. There are some pretty dark and uncomfortable scenes. Check it out.
