Superheroes have it easy. They don't have to clean their secret headquarters, wash the alien bloodstains out of their costumes or be responsible for taking Super Mutt out for a walk. No, they leave all that for their sidekicks like me, while they get all the credit!
I'm Junior Justice, but you can call me JJ, and I think it's time we made our own team.

JJ is the world’s greatest martial artist, a master in multiple disciplines including Mongolian tickle fighting. Flygirl is the world’s most acrobatic flyer. Dinomite has a degree in quantum mechanics and can speak 47 languages but all ...more

Really fun!
Cartoonist Gavin Aung Than’s graphic novel champions the underdog in the super hero world, the sidekicks. When Junior Justice -JJ decides he wants to be a superhero instead, he calls a special meeting at a secret warehouse location. He’s tired of his subordinate role and wants to stop cleaning up after Captain Perfect, washing his costumes and organising his headquarters. It’s time to turn things around.

Well, this was brisk and lively fun. Three sidekicks to superheroes meet up together and tell of the stress, woe and denigration they get in their underling role. Unfortunately, their main baddie's subsidiary character, a lump of pink slime stuff, turns up too – but only because he feels the same as them, and is no longer evil. But more unfortunately, their adult bosses turn up and demand they get back to the job of being sidekick. And even more unfortunate – perhaps the most unfortunate possibl

Soon Dr. Enok and all of their old superheroes are determined to track them down and put their sidekicks back to work--but the Super Sidekicks kn

What fun this book is! It will appeal to kids who love the super hero genre, as well as fans of Bad Guys & Dog Man. It is done in a big graphic novel style format that the kids are loving these days.
We have a team of sidekicks who are sick & tired of doing the ‘dirty’ work whilst the heroes get the glory. They quit being sidekicks to form their own super group. What happens next reminds us of the resilience of kids, the power of friendship and the fact that when you work as a team you can achiev ...more

I think kids are going to love this book about 4 superhero sidekicks who are sick of being ordered about by their adult superhero partners. They decide to break free and form their own crime fighting group. But what happens when one of them is kidnapped, on their first day?!
Lots of fun humour in this black and white graphic novel.

This is a lot of fun. Junior Justice, Flygirl, Dinomite and Goo are fed up of being side kicks, so they team up to fight Dr Enok and his robot army. Junior Justice seems to be East Asian; I would have loved this book in my classroom, since the Vietnamese children I taught rarely saw themselves in books. I will be looking out for the sequel.
This is a great graphic novel for skilled early readers. I am adding this series to our graphic novels collection. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. I am positive it will keep readers wanting to read the next one in the series.
This was a cool story!
Considering how much I love Zen Pencils, of course I enjoyed this. Even better that I get to enjoy this with my daughter.

Well written, appropriate to age group, rather formulaic, but I can see that as an advantage given the target demographic. A number of aspects that could have been handled slightly better, because they are subtly reinforcing bad behaviour I dont' want to see modelled to kids. ...more

Funny, clever and modern story. There is enough "kid humor" to keep the readers laughing and actually has a bit of charm for the adults. Over all a fun new series in graphic novels
