Sideways Vol. 1: Steppin’ Out (New Age of Heroes)

When high school junior Derek James fell into the Dark Multiverse and came out on the other side with the power to create rifts through space, he didn't make a vow to use his powers for good. He just wanted to make a splash as the first superhero to livestream his exploits for his fans--Sideways

But soon Derek finds that peddling his powers for likes and followers isn't the dream life he thought it would be. There are some serious bad guys out there, including a few who'd like to tear Sideways apart to learn about the Dark Energy that makes him tick.

The world needs Sideways to be a hero. His mom needs him to stay safe and out of trouble. And Derek needs to figure out how to use his rifts without hurting anyone...or destroying the planet.

Sideways is a new kind of hero, rising from the pages of Dark Nights: Metal, created by artist Kenneth Rocafort (Red Hood and the Outlaws) and writers Dan DiDio (The Kamandi Challenge) and Justin Jordan (Green Lantern: New Guardians) Collects issues #1-6.
