Sidekickcast Episode #25 - The Welsh Coast Avengers

The World's (or at least Wales') Mightiest Heroes assemble for the 25th episode spectacular of Sidekickcast. The Sidekick role call includes regular hosts Dan (Marshall Law) and Gavin (The Boneman), Davlo graces us with his brain power and an X-Centric character from the old days makes a dramatic return. Did you make it to Avatar day? No? Well the Sidekicks have got you covered with their preview of the exclusive Avatar footage presented by James Cameron.
In Stack Attack this week The Sidekickcs review Batgirl #1, Daredevil #500, Viking #3, Poe #2, Cable #17 and Superman #688. Chris Claremont's X-Men: Forever #1-5 get's the X-Centric treatment, will it live up to past glories?
Dan assembles a crack team of comic book knowledge in our pub quiz-esque comic book news game Secrets and Lies. In Knowing Me, Knowing You, Dan tackles the sequel to last episode's choice; Superman: The Stand on Krypton whilst Gavin supposedly takes a look at The Losers vol.2. We end the show on a high brow note with The Arrival this week's Dig That! choice from comic book artist Stuart Tipples and the usual out-takes play out after the outro music.

Sidekickcast Episode #24 - Second Time's a Charm

Almost the podcast that never was, the Sidekicks Gavin (the Boneman) and Dan (Marshall Law) strike back against Loki the God of Techno-mischief by recording this episode not once but twice. You know what they say 'Second Time's a Charm' and Godzilla, Playboy and Wolverine's family tree help prove these are wise words.
In the review-a-thon that is Stack Attack we cover Invincible Iron Man #16, Halo: Helljumper #1, Blackest Night #2, Justic League Cry for Justice #2, Chew #2, Absolution #1 and The Marvel's Project #1.
The comic book news gameshow should be a complete bust this week due to the double recording but it's never that simple with Secrets and Lies. Dan got Superman: Last Son of Earth whilst Gavin got The Losers volume 1 in a pretty kick ass edition of Knowing Me, Knowing You, surely they'll both love each other's choice? I Luv Halloween from TokyoPop get's the Dig That! treament in the Sidekick's efforts to better themselves through their listener's recommendations. Keep on trucking past the outro music to hear the sidekick cock ups and outtakes.

Sidekickcast Episode #23 - Black Lanterns & Silverfish

In the latest episode of Sidekickcast your hosts Gavin (The Boneman) and Dan (Marshall Law) bumble through the headlines from the San Diego Comic Con; that most massive multi media convention from across the pond. They show once again how little they know but how much they love all things comics. This episode sees our best competiton yet so make sure you listen out for the extremely easy question and get emailing in for your chance to have the power in your hands.
In a machinegun style Stack Attack we review X-Force #17, Captain Britain & MI:13 #15, The Last Resort #1, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep #1, Battlefields: Tankies #3 and Ignition City #1-2.
Gavin has a somewhat ridiculous lead in Secrets and Lies; the comic book news roundup quiz so every point counts as Dan tries to claw his way back to the top. Apparently Dan stole Howard Chaykin's Elseworld Batman book Thrillkiller from the Danger Room last episode as he's now taken to self medicating his Marvel Zombiedom in Knowing Me, Knowing You. The Crazy Boatman provides this weeks recommendation for Dig That! in the form of David Lapham's Silverfish from Vertigo. Don't forget to listen past the outro music for some of the usual hijinks and out-takes.
