This Is Getting Graphic

This year's summer event begins not with a bang, but a whimper, as we delve into Marvel's 2005 crossover House of M with special guest Alex Hanbury! After drugging and traumatizing Wanda Maximoff for months, Charles Xavier has tried nothing and is all out of ideas. Let's hope the X-Men and Avengers have better suggestio--PUT HER DOWN?? EXCUSE ME? But when they show up to execute this grand plan, a blinding flash of light resurrects Gwen Stacy! No, really, we're serious. Oh, and Magneto has a castle now. Yay. What other strange changes have come to this world? Did Wolverine really only order pizza for himself? And is Panera really the best meal for human extinction? Strap in, folks... it's gonna be a loooooong summer...

It's a double feature on This Is Getting Graphic as we take a look at two Silver Age stories! First, it's the debut of Krypto the Superdog as teenage Clark Kent finds that owning a superpowered pup is more trouble than it's worth. Then, Aquaman finds himself saving a newspaper catering exclusively to sea folk. Yeah, a real page turner there. Will Smallville survive Krypto's attempts to reduce it to a smoldering crater? Will Clark Kent ever stop gaslighting Lana Lang? And is the Bermuda Triangle far enough to get away from the LIBERALS?? Join us for dogs of mass destruction and misogynistic seamen!

Justice, like lightning, strikes when least expected... but we like to be topical, so here's the Thunderbolts! After New York's greatest heroes perish in battle with a supervillain threat made of Charles Xavier and Magneto's worst parts, new heroes must rise to the occasion... and from their studio apartment above the pizza place, the Thunderbolts answer the call! But these new heroes have a secret that may shake the very foundation of the Marvel Universe... and the Statue of Liberty. That's kind of a problem. What is this new superhero team hiding? Why does Meteorite hate banana daiquiris? And WHY DOESN'T ANYONE BELIEVE THE LAVA MEN ARE COMING TO GET US?? Join us for a story with a twist that must be seen to be believed!

Face front, comics fans, and come on a journey with us into the very first crossover between DC and Marvel, SUPERMAN VS. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. Huh... seems to be a bit of a power disparity right out the gate... place your bets now! When Lex Luthor and Dr. Octopus find they have more in common then they thought, they team up to launch an incredibly convoluted scheme, rather than becoming the hot new celebrity couple. Can the combined might of Superman and Spider-Man stop their villainous rampage, or will the two kill each other first? Why is Superman so condescending to those tribesmen? And... is that a flying octopus? Join us for a look at an epic adventure, as well as learning more about J. Jonah Jameson's sex life!

HELP. WE'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED AGAIN AND PUT IN--

Ignore them. All is well. It's me, Alex, host of This Is Getting Graphic. As the boys take a little nappy time, we're going to talk about Superman! While a mysterious Kryptonian computer matrix starts to hijack Clark Kent's entire life, a space flight goes horribly wrong and sends a crew of four--including a scientist, his hot wife, a wisecracking teen, and a surly pilot--careening down to Earth where they develop strange and bizarre powers. Hey, wait a minute... this sounds awfully familiar. It's okay, though... Gangbuster will help us! Will Superman come to his senses and save the day? What will these four intrepid heroes do with their new powers? And WHO'S GOING TO GET THE STATUE OF LIBERTY OFF THE MOON?? Join us as Jose Delgado can never catch a break, and Happy April Fool's Day!

America is in a time of turmoil... enemies of freedom roam the streets, and people are scared for the future. But enough about 2025, let's talk about the first appearance of Captain America! Witness a patriotic boy become a patriotic MAN... with four pecs! Watch as he takes down the enemies of freedom, including spies, saboteurs, and... a geek who lives in his mom's basement? Oh, and the Red Skull's here too. No, not that one. And did we mention BUCKY is here?? In a time of division and fear, it's good to know that we still have a hero ready to punch Nazis in the face. America is for everyone, and so is This Is Getting Graphic! We love you all.

The epic crossover between IDW's Star Trek comics and DC's Green Lantern mythos continues as we discover that Hal Jordan isn't the only Lantern to have crossed over to the new dimension! Things are gonna get angry, they'll get greedy, and they'll get... loving? As Atrocitus, Larfleeze, and Sinestro wreak havoc across the Alpha Quadrant, the newly deputized Lanterns aboard the Enterprise need to learn more about their powers... like Dr. McCoy learning he can summon... tomato soup. With compassion. Will that be enough to stop these sinister Lanterns before they burn the Federation to the ground? Can the Guardians of the Universe ever do anything right? And is that Commodore Decker from "The Doomsday Ma"--oh. Never mind. It's the episode that JUST CAN'T STOP SETTING THINGS ON FIRE.

Prepare to enter the comic crossover of a lifetime as IDW's Star Trek comics meet the unstoppable force of DC's Green Lantern mythos! After Nekron (who already should have been defeated in Blackest Night, but go figure) basically ENDS THE UNIVERSE, Guardian of Oa Ganthet enacts a wild plan to protect the light of the emotional spectrum forever! But what does J.J. Abrams's affinity for lens flares have to do with it? Will Ganthet succeed in his dumb, dumb plan? Is Hal Jordan just mad at Captain Kirk because he's wearing a yellow shirt? And IS THAT A DRAGON?? Join us and see what happens, both in brightest day and blackest night, and going where no man has gone before!
