Some thoughts about Sideways #8

Can Sideways help the Seven Soldiers of Victory?

Zatanna has recruited Derek to go on a mission to save the Manhattan Guardian but they will soon realize their forces are not enough to do it.

A few issues with this chapter.

First of all, Dan Didio follows the story of this particular team pretty faithfully by including an understandable explanation about why the Sheedah could come back and how that is connected to the Dark Multiverse (mind you, I wish that the Dark Multiverse was left behind already since I got tired of it). The characterization is pretty solid due that Derek still proves be very likable and the rest of the team receive little, yet appropriate portrayals.

The thing is that halfway Derek leaves the mission in a kinda cluncky manner. It has a sensible reason due that Zatanna didn't want him to die along with the rest but it makes me question the point of even including in the initial attack in the first place and puts everything at a not particularly interesting cliffhanger.

Max Raynor and Trevor Scott handle the art and they do a solid job at maintaining a consistent style during the whole story.

Not bad but it could have been better. Hope the next one is an improvement.
