With Daniel Marshall still out of the picture, Gavin resorts to a different tactic in the search for a new co-host, he replaces one Daniel with another as Daniel Clifford takes to the hot seat. There's a lot of talk about Daniel, mostly by himself and then they look at some comics. In fact a lot of comics.
Stack Attack sees the majority of the The DC New 52 in one hit, foolish some may say...they'd be right.

Secrets and Lies; the comic book news quiz with a twist has a new challenger and one that is maybe up to the task. Daniel brings with him a choice for Dig That! as the new duo review The Amazing Spider-Man: Origin of the Species. Then everything changes...
