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.
