Sidekicked Issue #19 – Crime might not pay, but in Central City neither do most jobs

There are thousands of other jobs in our nation, but in the world of comic books only a few are represented. Reporter, scientist, and engineer seem to make up half the jobs in both DC and Marvel comics. But what about the taxi driver? What about the building inspector? What is a Monday like for the thousands of unglamorized workers living in a world of space aliens and sewer monsters? In honor of Labor Day, David and Vincent discuss the best and worst jobs to have in a world of comic book heroes.

David is a cool human and the co-host of the Sidekicked Podcast with Vincent Powell! He hates long walks on the beach, but only because there is so much sand. He knows more about Marvel than DC. He is a feminist, regardless of the fact that he is a guy. You haven't heard of him, well he's a big deal in Latveria.

He has now been drafted by the Uncanny Pome Magazine to unleash his thoughts and views. Along with his partner, David, the two of them analyze the comic book industry for a new generation of fans.
