'''Kobalt''' is a 1994 series by Creator/MilestoneComics.
A street-level vigilante is compelled to accept a new KidSidekick who is woefully unprepared for the realities of crimefighting.
----
!!''Kobalt'' provides examples of:
* BringMyBrownPants: The fourth issue has Kobalt psychololgically torture a man he's tied up by smearing peanut butter on him and leaving for now while claiming he'll let some rats eat him later. Kobalt's captive is so horrified by this that he pees himself.
* {{Expy}}: Kobalt is ComicBook/{{Batman}}, but a more violent and reality-grounded version, if still non-lethal. Page, his KidSidekick, is a proto-ComicBook/KickAss whose dad fed him to Kobalt as an attempted "Scared Straight" experience ([[SpringtimeForHitler that backfired]]).
* FakingTheDead: The 11th issue has Kobalt taunt the villain Dozer by asking if his appearance is the result of his mother having a fling with John Deere.
* KickTheDog: In the final issue, Kobalt's KidSidekick gets both arms broken and quits superheroing forever, chiefly due to the storylines being forcibly wrapped up.
