Publisher's Summary

Once, they stood next to justice. Now they're standing up for it...

When sworn protectors of Earth, the Justice Platoon, are all horribly killed, their former arch-enemies come crawling out of the woodwork. Outnumbered, outgunned, and out of options, the US government has no choice but to activate the Sidekicks Initiative, dragging the Platoon's middle-aged ex-sidekicks out of retirement.

Now these three reluctant, out of shape former child-wonders must work together to stop the rising tide of supervillainy, avenge their former mentors' deaths, and bring the world back from the brink of destruction.

Assuming they don't kill each other first.

Featuring anaphylactic shockwaves, unexpected hippos, and an aggressive man shouting at butterflies, The Sidekicks Initiative is the first book in the action-packed new series from internationally best-selling Space Team author, Barry J. Hutchison.

enjoyable

Hutchinson and thron team up to make a very enjoyable story.
I love marvel but what do you do when the a-list can't save the day? this book explores that and it's a lot of fun. I'm sure Hutchinson comes up with some of his ideas by typing some letters and seeing what autocorrect comes up with. some truly random stuff in here and it's fan-f-ing-tastic. some good laughs in this book.
this does not take away from the character development. I loved how much I felt like pulling for the main character and how well his motivation was built up. it's the perfect mix of story and ridiculous humor.
and thron, one of the most enjoyable narrators I've ever listened to.
if you've never listened to Hutchinson this is a great start to try out his work. if you like this then check out the space team series. if anything I think it's even better for the same reasons, just dialed up a few notches.
