Holy sidekick, Titan!

One of the most intriguing and fun elements of the superhero mythos to me is that of the sidekick. Since the early 1940's the superhero sidekick has been a staple in comics. From Aqualad to Bucky, Speedy to Toro, and Kid Flash to, what is arguably the biggest of all sidekicks, Robin, the sidekick has been easily one of the biggest elements of the superhero, and I can't wait to explore this archetype in the world of Titan. Book 3 "Shadow Games" will be the first time that I will tackle the world of sidekicks in Titan. In that book it will be Titan that experiences something of what it is like to be a sidekick himself. later in the series, for a time, Titan will also be getting a sidekick of his own. This is a favourite superhero element of mine and I think there is plenty that I have to say about sidekicks and much that can be harvested for great stories.I know that does gice a lot of detail but I don't want to say any more that would act as spoiler, but I think it will be very fun to explore.
