Sidekicks three this week as regular hosts Dan (Marshall Law) and Gavin (The Boneman) are joined by semi-regular Davlo to discuss the Bristol Comic Expo and Small Press Expo aswell as the new Star Trek movie. Of course this being the Sidekickcast any in depth discussion and critique quickly descends into queries about Vulcan love organs. From our recordings at Bristol Expo hear Bones nervously ask Mike Carey an X-Men question during the DC Vertigo panel with interesting results in a Sidekickcast Exclusive.

In Stack Attack this episode we cover The Unwritten #1, Flash: Rebirth #2, Invincible Iron Man #13, Captain Britain & MI:13 #13, Solomon Grundy #2, New Mutants #1, Dark Reign: Young Avengers #1, Battle for the Cowl #2, Uncanny X-Men #509, Viking #1 and Superman: New World of Krypton #3...kinda.

We reset the clock in Secrets and Lies as nobody knew what the score was and couldn't be bothered to listen to the last few episodes, call it our own Marvel Re-numbering fiasco. In our ongoing series of reverse Dig This! we take a look at Battle Pope, recommended by forumite Mrs Meanie aswell as another run at All Star Superman vol.1 now that all the Sidekicks have read it. No out-takes after the outro music this week, instead we've got a special Lost vs BSG quiz that you can play along with at home.

The boys kick it dynamic duo style this week due to popular demand so just the original sidekicks Dan (Marshall Law) and Gavin (the Boneman). Of course this means there's no Dig This! but they make it up for it with plenty of completely non-comics banter as the wheels of the show start to fly off!

A packed Stack Attack this episode with reviews of G.I.Joe: Origins #1, Corssed #4, Punisher #3, New Avengers #51, Groom Lake #1, Daredevil #117, Jersey Gods #2, Ultimatum #3, X-Force #13, X-Force/Cable Messiah War Cossover #1, Wolverine #70 & 71 and a whole lot more.

There's a real test for Dan in his first ever solo Secrets and Lies, will he sink or swim without his team-mates around to point him in the right direction? And he's finally listened to Quiet! Panelogists at Work (Q!PAW) for Knowing Me, Knowing You something Gavin has been trying him to do for at least three epsiodes now!

We also take a look at some indy comics courtesy of resident grumpy old man Bluemeanie with his title The Caretakers Uncannily Nasty Tales aswell as his recommendation for the month of Grant Morrison's All Star Superman. Don't forget to stick around after our outro music for the Marshall school of method acting class?!
