Thick as Thieves: A Graphic Novel (Sidekicks) by Dan Santat captures the lively adventures in Metro City with humour and suspense.

Captain Amazing, the longtime hero of Metro City, has retired and is enjoying a much-needed vacation at the World's Biggest Ball of Yarn. But while he's away, trouble brews at home! A massive data breach disrupts the Society of Superheroes, and a flash drive containing sensitive information about Captain Amazing and other heroes falls into reckless hands.

Meanwhile, an unannounced visitor named Whipley arrives at the captain's house. His pet sidekicks—Manny, Roscoe, and Fluffy—are sceptical of the stranger's intentions. The only sidekick excited by the visit is Shifty. Could Whipley be Shifty's loving, long-lost brother as he claims? Or is he framing the sidekicks for his personal gain and vengeance?
