Join us as we discuss how cool a mashup of vampires and pirates can be, heavy metal songs, the age of sail, and what Marvel character secretly has vampire eyes.

Summer's Day Doomsday continues as TIGG takes a look at issues #3-4 of the DC Comics and Watchmen crossover, Doomsday Clock! When a blast from the past quite literally makes a splash in Metropolis, Ozymandias gets punched in the face by karma in the form of the Comedian. Meanwhile, the world's worst detective enlists the help of the greatest as Rorschach informs Batman of his situation... and is promptly locked up in Arkham for his trouble. Let's hope this doesn't induce an issue-long flashback of his traumatic backstory! Will Rorschach be able to escape Arkham Asylum? Why are so many circus folk punching each other? And what martial arts style is known by the Mothman? See what you want to see, comic fans...

It's June 8, 2026. This Is Getting Graphic's summer event begins with a look at the first two issues of Doomsday Clock, the official crossover between Alan Moore's Watchmen and the DC Universe. Nuclear war is back in a big way in the Watchmen universe, and Ozymandias's squid plan didn't work. Shocker. He and a new Rorschach recruit the criminals Mime and Marionette to attempt to find the all-powerful Dr. Manhattan, which is the only way to save their world. Good luck, kiddos. Oh, and also Superman has a bad dream. Will our protagonists track down Dr. Manhattan and save their world? How does Bruce Wayne keep passing corporate mandated psych exams? And do you think Rorschach likes pancakes? I am tired of this world, these people. I am tired of being caught up in the tangle of their lives. This podcast might help. Listen and find out.
