Darby Pop Publishing has had numerous up-and-coming writers and artists collaborating with us over the years. Each month, we’ll be highlighting the most recent work by one of these industry professionals who passed through our doors on the way to making their sequential storytelling dreams come true.

One of Darby Pop Publishing’s fan favorite series is currently in the midst of a brand-new Kickstarter campaign: Side-Kicked!

That’s right — Russell Brettholtz is hard at work trying to get Side-Kicked #6 (and #7 and #8 and…) into your hot little hands. And you can help him by forking over a very modest amount of your hard-earned cash over at his kickstarter! 

Even better, the issue is already “done”; the Kickstarter is simply a means to help Brettholtz get this all-new content over to the printer and on its way to rabid fans. “Having physical copies to sell of Side-Kicked provides me with the necessary funds to continue paying my art team to produce this series (and reduce the funding goals for future Kickstarter campaigns to create Chapters 7-9),” Russell explains.

Picking up where the original satire left off, this comedy/adventure finds the new Chicago super-team of former sidekicks facing a brand new threat:

“Sick and tired of being disrespected by the super-heroes they work with, taken for granted by the citizens, and ignored by the media, the sidekicks of Chicago WENT ON STRIKE.

The strike is now over and the sidekicks have teamed up with some of the heroes they formerly worked with — creating Chicago’s first super-team. But will an alien threat destroy the new status quo the sidekicks fought so hard to establish? And what’s the endgame for the former henchmen to Chicago’s greatest super-villains – who are consolidating their own power, filling the vacuum left due to the imprisonment of their former bosses?”

Fans of the original Side-Kicked, and/or those looking for a unique spin on superherodom beyond the “Big Two,” would do well to check out Russell’s campaign. The Kickstarter runs until August 7^th and features reward tiers like Enhanced Digital Deluxe Editions, original art,, and even “catch-up deals” to help you partake in the full story to-date!

And – truth be told – we’re big fans. But, you probably already knew that.
