We change things up this episode with X-centric Ned moving to a 'every other show' slot, your regular hosts Dan and Gavin are joined by Mikey-superfan-Mike, how will they fare against the angry fanboy?

The sidekicks finally get some email and blow their chances of getting anymore in one fell swoop with their unhinged, unresearched, unrestrained answers. Stack Attack bulges with comic goodness this week with Magneto Testament #3, Captain Britain & MI:13 #7, Wolverine #69: Old Man Logan part 4, JSA Kingdom Come Special: Superman, Batman: Cacophony #1 and much more in a quick fire rundown.

Battlelines are drawn in Secrets and Lies as the teams are level at one a piece and Dan brings in a ringer in the form of Mikey-Mike, will he sniff out the bare faced lie amongst the threads of truth?

Find out why Dan needs to take a punishment in Knowing Me, Knowing You. Nuff Said!

Probably the best game ever invented whilst being the worst feature in an audio podcast, Challenge Mikey takes centre stage in any other business.

Be sure to listen past the outro music for not only the triumphant return of the out-takes but also a short promo from another comic book podcast and friends of the show Geek Syndicate

This week on The Sidekickcast we see the triumphant return of some Sidekicks that have been MIA with the return of X-centric Ned and Alex's final chapter review of The Dark Knight Returns in Dig This!

Stack Attack plays catch up as we now have access to our comic book shop once again so we're able to pick up on the important issues we may have missed over the last month. Reviews include Magneto: Testament #2, 1985 #6, Back to Brooklyn #2, X-Men Legacy #216-217, Uncanny X-Men #503 and we catch up with Ultimatum in the Ultimate Universe.

X-centric Ned fulfills his promise to delve deep into the events that lead to Angel's original fall from grace to become the recently returned Archangel. You may think you know the X-Men but this may shed a whole new light upon them and their motivations.

With The Boneman taking a 1-0 lead last time in Secrets and Lies will the rest of the Sidekicks be able to even the score this week and weed out his carefully crafted falseties. And will the Sidekickcast's tough customer Marshall carry on reading Marvel Comics' The Twelve, find out in Knowing Me, Knowing You.

We'd like to take this opportunity to say that whatever you hear in this podcast we are all very big fans of Mr Kevin Bacon and wish him well, no matter how it may sound.
