Just as DC fans voted in a telephone poll to kill off Robin, radio listeners proclaim how annoying kid sidekicks are and how they wish they were dead. They soon get their wish as a bomb kills off four sidekicks and the heroes start to search for replacements.As with many other comic book satires we soon learn the heroes are not as pure as we think. One is proudly out of the closet and looking for a new boy toy, another is a racist, all of them are killers. The villain of the piece is the disturbing Doctor Blasphemy, one of the most chilling designs I've seen in a long time.Veitch's art is fantastic, not just the character designs and action but the panel layouts and choice of scenes are fantastic. Throughout the book he uses a two page layout where each sidekick gets a quarter, their experiences neatly paralleling each other. When he needs an establishing shot for the city of Slumburg (great name!) he doesn't just show buildings and bridges, he shows slaughterhouses and sewers. From the disturbing cover onward the book is a visual treat.So why a low mark? The ending. It ties in loosely with the Maximortal (another of Veitch's works) but really makes little sense and says nothing. The book is all set up (and very good set up) with no conclusion.Books like Marshal Law, the Wyrd, the Boys, Planetary and the Pro have also done the whole 'heroes are scum' satire and work better as stories. A gay Batman, a castrating Wonder Woman and other spoof are fairly obvious and have been overdone. Bratpack has moments of brilliance but does not hold together.If, after reading this you're still interested, wait. There is a hard cover coming in 2009 that will have all the covers (none are reprinted here) and sketchbook pages. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not Your Father's Superheros *by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2016* I bought the series when it first came out. Bought the trade when I could not find my originals. Bought this copy for my nephew. He's into comics and I knew he would like this one. Mr. Veitch takes all that we know about superheros and does a 180. The characters are familiar but the story is not. Way not. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true underground comic gem! *by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2016* Interesting take on the super heroe sidekick genre. Novel story by writer/artist Rick Veitch. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/182787770-bratpack](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/182787770-bratpack) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
