So what is the magic number? One...two...oh who cares, especially when you've got another episode of The Sidekickcast to listen to. Gavin and Dan are joined this week by the elusive yet always good value X-Centric Ned for some chat about the latest animated offerings from both Marvel and Dc and then maybe a little comic book talk too just for good measure.

The boys tackle Stack Attack head on with reviews of Devil #1, Choker #1, X-Force #24, Ultimate Comics Avengers #5, Ultimate Comics New Ultimates #1, X-Men Hope, Amazing Spider-Man #623 and Absolution #6.

Secrets and Lies; The comic book news quiz with a twist, who knows what the score is? Who cares? A good time was still had by all and you can play along at home, shouting mercilessly into your generic mp3 listening decive.

A slightly shorter episode this week as both Dan and Gavin get thrown in detention for not doing their homework for either Knowing Me, Knowing You nor Dig This! But don't forget to listen past the outro music to see just how smoothly this operation truly works.

A change in venue brings out the free and easy side in regular Sidekickcast hosts Gavin and Dan. They attempt to bumble their way through the proposed Watchmen prequels/sequels surely offending anyone with more than two braincells to rub between them.

In the reviewaram that is Stack Attack we look at X-Force #23, Batman and Robin #7 & #8, Kick Ass #8, Daredevil #504, Ultimate X #1, Cowboy Ninja Viking #3, Dark X-Men #4 and Milestone Forvever #1.

Dan attempts to close the gap even more in this week's Secrets and Lies, the comic book news quiz that asks you no question but always tells you lies. Knowing Me, Knowing You makes a triumphant return with Punisher MAX #2 and we take a gander at Hack/Slash Omnibus vol.1 in Dig This! Don't forget to hang on past our very telling outro music for some cock ups of the highest order.

For this week only we present to you the hangover-cast, regular hosts Dan and Gavin are joined by Sidekick regular Mikey Bumchin to prove just how apathetic alcohol can make you, with some unsuccessful attempts to answer that timeless question: 'Comics, what's the point innit?!'.

In Stack Attack we review Uncanny X-Men #520, Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth #7, Wolverine: Weapon-X #9, S.W.O.R.D #3 and Drone #2.

Secrets and Lies; the comic book news quiz takes it's first ever victim as one Sidekick can't take the heat. Still no Knowing Me, Knowing You but we gloss over that with a look at Brian Azzarello's Joker in Dig That!. The out-takes after the outro music this week are essential listening, miss them at your peril.

The Dark descends on this extended episode of the Sidekickcast as regular hosts Gavin and Dan are joined by writer Chris Lynch, as always bringing a bit of class to proceedings. The Sidekicks catch up with some chat about Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, the latest Kick Ass trailer, a rundown of Dollhouse so far and of course behind the scenes on upcoming release from Markosia The Dark.

In Stack Attack this episode we review Invincible Iron Man #21, The Siege #1 of 4, Blackest Night #6, The Dark, Battlefields: Happy Valley #1 and S.W.O.R.D #2.

Chris has been in training in order to bring his best game to Secrets and Lies but will he be able to deal with the pressure of being in the hot seat? No Knowing Me, Knowing You until we find Punisher MAX #2, somebody is gonna have to loan us a copy or we''l never know how this would've turned out. MrCola provides this week's Dig That! choice in the form of the first volume of Proof - Goatsucker. Don't forget to listen past the outro music to hear just how smooth this operation really runs.

It's that time of year again for the Bonapalooza so of course regular Sidekickcast hosts Gavin and Dan are joined in the Danger Room by X-Centric Ned and Davlo closely followed by our good friend Mr Jack Daniels. The Sidekicks celebrate Gavin's birthday in style where gifts are given and el vino doth flow, theres even some catch about comics thrown in for good measure!

In Stack Attack this episode we take a run at Cowboy Ninja Viking #2, The Siege: The Cabal #1, Dr Horrible #1, Viking #4, Blackest Night #5, Daredevil #504 and Invincible Iron Man #20.

The score is 10-6.5 to Gavin in Secrets and Lies; the comic book news quiz that is sure to to confound even the most hardcore comic book fan. Will the backup Dan has brought along be enough to keep the pressure on and sniff out the lie?!

We continue our new segment Alt.Uses for Comics with the comic book stab vest. *DISCLAIMER* The Sidekickcast does not in any way support the use of knives as weapons and strongly feels that people should in no way attempt to copy or take safety advice from this bunch of idiots*DISCLAIMER* Nuff Said.

Our Dig That! choice for this week comes from Lil Fat Mikey in the form of The Alcoholic by Jonathan Ames. We'd like to wish everyone out there a happy holidays and don't forget to listen past the outro music for some very drunken out-takes.

Flying solo for the first time in a while, well actually there's two of them but you get the idea, Sidekickcast hosts Dan (Marshall Law) and Gavin (The Boneman) are bringing it back for the little man. We wander down TV memory lane with some Firefly chat which evolves into Dollhouse dissection and somehow make our way over to Reservoir Turtles.

In our comic book review segment; Stack Attack we take a look at Flash Reborn #5, Wolverine: Weapon-X #7, Blackest Night #5, Chronicles of Wormwood: The Last Battle #2, SWORD #1, X-Force #21, Daredevil #502, Supergod #1 and Batman and Robin #6.

It's all down to Dan in Secrets and Lies the comic book news quiz, how will he fair with nobody to watch his back? We experiment with some alternative uses for comic books with varying degrees of success, have you got any ideas for this dodgy new feature? Gavin ambushes Dan in Knowing Me, Knowing You with Punisher MAX #1 in the hope of bringing him over to dark side of Marvel Comics. Dig That! becomes another example of Staurt Tipples' attmepts to frazzle the Sidekicks minds with obscure and mind bending comics, this week it's Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean's Signal to Noise. We fade to black with our favourite colour and some proper stupid outtakes.

A little bit late this week due to all the Sidekicks being gainfully employed and lazy as all hell, Gavin and Dan are joined by Sidekickcast regular Mikey Bumchin for what's sure to be an X-Tastic episode. We start the show by taking a look at the Kick Ass movie and all the Halo media that's floating about at the moment especially the HellJumpers comic book by Peter David.

In a packed Stack Attack we bring back the 2 minute Wonder where Gavin tries to review as many comics as he can in 2 minutes, in his hung over state will he manage more than 3? We also take a look at Blackest Night #4, X-Necrosha, Psylocke #1,Black Widow: Deadly Origin #1, Last Resort #3, X-Force #20, Superman: Secret Origin #2, Haunt #2, Punisher #10, Wolverine: Weapon-X #5, Life Undead, Cowboy Ninja Viking #1 and X-Factor #50.

Can the dream team of Mikey Bumchin and Dan add to Gavin's downfall in Secrets and Lies; the comic book news quiz that tries to pull the wool over your eyes. The Torch #3 is the last hope in trying to get Dan to read something he wouldn't usually in Knowing Me, Knowing You. In a rare Dig That! we have the man that gave us Planet Hulk in the house to gage our reactions to the 2006 Marvel event. Don't forget to listen past the outro music for some ridiculous out-takes.

Lil Fat Mikey makes another return to the Danger Room to show Sidekickcast hosts Dan (Marshall Law) and Gavin (the Boneman) just how much he's fallen down the comic book rabbit hole. We take a look at some comic book animation in the form of Ghost in the Shell, Battle Angel Alita and Iron Man: Armored Adventures.

It's time to crap or get off the pot in Secrets and Lies; the comic book news quiz with Gavin so far in the lead with a score of 9-5. Can all the revision Lil Fat Mikey has done this week bring Dan back from the brink? In Knowing Me, Knowing You, Dan has Mike Carey's The Torch #2 to contend with, can we convince to pick it up for another week? We get a Dig That! recommendation from our favourite comic book dealer Kristian AKA the Comic Guru in the form of Salem Brownstone: All Along the Watchtowers. Don't forget to listen past the outro music for some ridiculously funny out-takes.

The Welsh Coast Avengers take over the podcast once again so we hear from X-Centric Ned and Davlo aswell as your usual hosts Gavin (The Boneman) and Dan (Marshall Law). That's not all though, we also get a special BICS 2009 report from past Sidekickcast guests Crazy Boatman and Lil' Fat Mikey, the Sidekicks are amongst us and doing good works across the lands.

Stack Attack is pretty much Dan's domain this week as Gavin is still suffering from a mixture of post-con blues and exhaustion. We cover Batman and Robin #4, Red Robin #3, Olympus #3, 28 Days Later #2, Thor #603, Wolverine: Weapon-X #5 and X-Men: Legacy Annual #1.

Secrets and Lies the comic book news quiz reaches new highs (or lows dependant on you point of view) as an undecided team go back and forth over their choice over and over and over....
We get DCU animation fan X-Centric Ned's views on the latest offering; Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. We've also got some added extras this week in the form of a Tipple Too Much recorded live from the bar at BICS 2009 and please don't forget to keep listening for some booze enduced out-takes.

It's the night before BICS 2009 (British International Comics Show) and I want to be all bright eyed and bushy tailed so I'll make this brief. District 9, Nicholas Cage as Superman and IMAX Watchmen fill regular Sidekick hosts Gavin (the Boneman) and Dan's (Marshall Law) intro to the show.

Stack Attack hits Giant Size Wolverine: Old Man Logan, Invincible Iron Man #18, Superman: Seceret Origin #1, Blackest Night #3 and Buck Rogers #4.

Secrets and Lies the comic book news quiz with a twist takes a trully traumatic turn for for one of our Sidekicks. New Marvel title The Torch #1 get's the Knowing Me, Knowing You treatment from Dan, will it make the grade?

We kick it old school for Dig That! all the way back to '93 with Vertigo book Enigma from Peter Milligan and Duncan Fegeredo. Don't forget to listen past the outro music for some out-takes just so you don't think we're too perfect.
