In 2016 i picked up a comic from a goodwill in my town that came along with a box of various other comics. I lost it the same day but i did manage to skim through it while riding back home. I cant remember the title, the author, the artist, or who published. although i know it wasn't DC or marvel specifically and i'm 90% sure it wasn't by image. It was probably the second to last issue and from what i remember its plot focus is that the main superheroes of this world are captured by some otherworldly force and held captive in some sort of pocket dimension in order to keep them from stopping earths destruction. Some seem to be an expy of superman with a flashy cape and a big defender of justice attitude and all of them have hints of traits from heroes of the silver age. The only heroes left on earth are their sidekicks. Two that stand out in my mind is a African american boy dressed like a birthday magician and a android with human flesh skin. With the world at stake these kids take it on themselves to save the world but are barely equipped to do it. they end up almost killing themselves and severely shattering every moral code for the greater good. From what i interpreted the boy magician side kick does this allot and gets his hands very dirty and the android sidekick ends up severely damaged. there's also a girl sidekick with light brown skin if i recall but all i know of her is that shes there. I know this is not be allot to go on but I've searched google as much as i could but nothing remotely similar comes up. I even went to my local comic book shop to describe it and no one had heard of it. Really hoping someone could help me out because it sounds really interesting and id like to continue reading it.
