A change in venue brings out the free and easy side in regular Sidekickcast hosts Gavin and Dan. They attempt to bumble their way through the proposed Watchmen prequels/sequels surely offending anyone with more than two braincells to rub between them.

In the reviewaram that is Stack Attack we look at X-Force #23, Batman and Robin #7 & #8, Kick Ass #8, Daredevil #504, Ultimate X #1, Cowboy Ninja Viking #3, Dark X-Men #4 and Milestone Forvever #1.

Dan attempts to close the gap even more in this week's Secrets and Lies, the comic book news quiz that asks you no question but always tells you lies. Knowing Me, Knowing You makes a triumphant return with Punisher MAX #2 and we take a gander at Hack/Slash Omnibus vol.1 in Dig This! Don't forget to hang on past our very telling outro music for some cock ups of the highest order.

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.

It's that time of year again for the Bonapalooza so of course regular Sidekickcast hosts Gavin and Dan are joined in the Danger Room by X-Centric Ned and Davlo closely followed by our good friend Mr Jack Daniels. The Sidekicks celebrate Gavin's birthday in style where gifts are given and el vino doth flow, theres even some catch about comics thrown in for good measure!

In Stack Attack this episode we take a run at Cowboy Ninja Viking #2, The Siege: The Cabal #1, Dr Horrible #1, Viking #4, Blackest Night #5, Daredevil #504 and Invincible Iron Man #20.

The score is 10-6.5 to Gavin in Secrets and Lies; the comic book news quiz that is sure to to confound even the most hardcore comic book fan. Will the backup Dan has brought along be enough to keep the pressure on and sniff out the lie?!

We continue our new segment Alt.Uses for Comics with the comic book stab vest. *DISCLAIMER* The Sidekickcast does not in any way support the use of knives as weapons and strongly feels that people should in no way attempt to copy or take safety advice from this bunch of idiots*DISCLAIMER* Nuff Said.

Our Dig That! choice for this week comes from Lil Fat Mikey in the form of The Alcoholic by Jonathan Ames. We'd like to wish everyone out there a happy holidays and don't forget to listen past the outro music for some very drunken out-takes.

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.

The Welsh Coast Avengers take over the podcast once again so we hear from X-Centric Ned and Davlo aswell as your usual hosts Gavin (The Boneman) and Dan (Marshall Law). That's not all though, we also get a special BICS 2009 report from past Sidekickcast guests Crazy Boatman and Lil' Fat Mikey, the Sidekicks are amongst us and doing good works across the lands.

Stack Attack is pretty much Dan's domain this week as Gavin is still suffering from a mixture of post-con blues and exhaustion. We cover Batman and Robin #4, Red Robin #3, Olympus #3, 28 Days Later #2, Thor #603, Wolverine: Weapon-X #5 and X-Men: Legacy Annual #1.

Secrets and Lies the comic book news quiz reaches new highs (or lows dependant on you point of view) as an undecided team go back and forth over their choice over and over and over....
We get DCU animation fan X-Centric Ned's views on the latest offering; Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. We've also got some added extras this week in the form of a Tipple Too Much recorded live from the bar at BICS 2009 and please don't forget to keep listening for some booze enduced out-takes.

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.

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.

The man who cannot be named takes the reigns of the Sidekickcast so of course nobody is safe especially this episode's guest Sidekick Mikey Mike. Don't forget to play our spot the superhero sneaker game, the clue is right in front of your face.

In Stack Attack this week the Sidekicks cover Batman: Battle For the Cowl #3, Batman & Robin #1, Unthinkable #1, Iredeemable #2, X-Force #15, X-Men Legacy #224, Avengers: The Initiative #24, Herogasm #1 and Dark Avengers #5.

Can Dan (Marshall Law) break into the lead he graciously gave to Gavin (The Boneman) in Secrets and Lies? With Mikey Mike on his side he's off to a good start, these two are quickly becoming the Comic Book News Dream Team. Not just here for the real quiz Mikey Mike takes care of War of Kings for your regular hosts, just so they don't have to read it. As Blackest Night is on the way forum member Mr Cola (Gareth) was kind enough to pimp the Sinestro Corps War to your show hosts, they repay him by reviewing the hell outta it. Don't forget to listen past the outro music for some hilarious out-takes.

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!

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.
