Things get real at Sidekick central, find out just why everybody hates Dan?! This week your regular team have a man down as X-centric Ned takes a much needed rest but Dan (Marshall Law) and Gavin (The Boneman) are in full effect and joined by new sidekick John (Gutterballs) and the Wizard of the World Wide Web Neil (The Boatman).

Reviewed in Stack Attack this episode we have Secret Invasion #7, New Avengers #45-46, Mighty Avengers #19, Daredevil #111, Back to Brooklyn #1 and Invincible Iron Man #1-6. With no X-centric Ned this week we had to think fast and replace him with something just as high brow, so we came up with Secrets and Lies, our very own comic book gameshow. The question you've waiting two weeks to find will be answered in Knowing Me, Knowing You, will Dan be able to see past dopey names and enjoy Marvel's The Twelve?

Neil tackles Mark Millar's Superman: Red Son in Dig This!, will he dig it? Do you dig it? Why not let us know by joining us on the comic forums. And we finish off with some movie talk with the DVD release of The Incredible Hulk and recent releses at the cinema.

Don't forget to listen past our outro music for hilarious (some may say) out-takes from your Sidekickcast team.
