Sidekicked Issue #21 – Not all origin stories are created equal

It’s Origins Week at POMEmag, which is perfect for Sidekicked because Origin Stories are a huge part of comic lore! However, just because a comic book character is popular doesn’t mean they have a good origin story. So why are some origin stories sensational, and others so-so? How have origin stories changed over time? Are origin stories even popular in comic books? Let’s hear what the boys are saying this week.

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.
