Sidekickcast Episode #31 - Pink it's Not Even a Question

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.

Nice review of SWORD, I couldn't agreement more. I'm loving Gillian's work at the moment, his Beta Ray Bill: Godhunter was great and will probabely link into SWORD at some point (Agent Brand played a small role).

Concerning Batman and Robin 6: I think the last panel was the fried body of Batman from Final Crisis. I assumed Dick was going to use a Lazerus pit to try and resurrect Bruce (after being taunted by Jason). Also, take your Batman and Robin 6 comic in hand and click here:

Gillen really does seem to be on fire at the moment, I was going to cancel Thor once JMS left in fact I think I have but I'll keep getting it whilst Gillen is writing just because I think he's a great writer.

Good call on the Fried Batman Body we totally missed that and you're right about the album cover too totally missed that homage. We do love it when they do that though like they're doing with the current X-Force run so far we've had The Lost Boys and Interview with a Vampire I think.

Believe it or not I do actually look at the solicits I just have the memory of a geriatric goldfish and find it very difficult to remember what's going on but thanks for the link I'll check it out.
