Dragon*Con 2011 Coverage

Thanks to roving reporters attending Dragon*Con, in spite of me not going to the show you still get some high-quality Venture Bros.-centric coverage.

Dragon*Con 2011 Coverage: A Dr. Who And A Doc[tor] Hammer
Katie Delz of the Hench 4 Life Podcast has a nice write up of the many Venture-related events at the convention including the various panels involving Doc Hammer.

Dragon*Con 2011 Cosplay Photos
And if you're craving more DalekEmpress graciously offered up some of her photos the Venture Bros. cosplayers at the convention. There are some awesome (and obscure) costumes in there, so check it out.

Many, many thanks to both Katie and Vanessa for being Mantis-Eye reporters for the convention and for being the first major contributors to the site (outside of capsule notes) since its inception seven years ago. Thanks guys!

Thanks DalekEmpress for the pics! Gangsta Henchman rule! Lady Henchmen are cute. Doc and JP should have Dr. Mrs. The Monarch start a woman's auxiliary. Naked Brock was a bit more than I needed to see. Shore Leave outfit from Assisted Suicide is very accurate right down to the colors. Cracked up when I saw post-op Hunter from Nighting-Ales job. Was that supposed to a zombie Molotov in that last pic? Glad to see I'm not the oldest Venturoo at 45.

Did anyone see the Goth panel? I'm curious why Doc said it was a bust.

My theory to why he said it was a bust is because they had to switch rooms last minute. The room they usually do that track in is a bit smaller, but their audio/speakers blew out. So they moved it to the ballroom in the Westin. Which is the second largest ballroom in the con.

Putting the amount of people who would usually show up to that panel in a giant ballroom (about 100 or so) looks weird. So, that is my guess.

How was the panel itself? Insightful? Funny?

The panel itself brought up some good points. Stuff in the ballpark of everyone wearing Joy Division shirts nowadays, how much easier it is for younger kids to discover goth bands via the internet, "goth clubs", and so on.

I recorded the whole panel on a friend's flipcam. I'm waiting for them to upload it. But I'd say despite the whole giant room/small crowd thing, it was a really good panel.

First footage! Title revealed! https://youtu.be/eXJ5OM9RfV8 Synopsis and cast too! “In The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, a nationwide manhunt for Hank Venture leads to untold dangers and unexpected revelations, while the Monarch is literally out for Dr. Venture’s blood. An imposing evil from the past reemerges to wreak havoc on the Ventures, the Guild, and even the Monarch marriage—it will take friends and foes alike to restore the Ventures’ world to order… or end it once and for all.” The voice cast includes the returning James Urbaniak as Dr. Venture, Patrick Warburton as Brock Samson, Michael Sinterniklaas as Dean Venture, Chris McCulloch as Hank Venture, and The Venture Bros. co-creator Doc Hammer as Dr. Mrs. The Monarch. (Hammer and series co-creator Jackson Publick also wrote the script, and Publick directed.) Other voice cast members include Nina Arianda as Mantilla, Clancy Brown as Daisy and Red Death, John Hodgeman as Snoopy, Hal Lublin as Clayton, Jane Lynch as Bobbi St. Simone, Charles Parnell as Jefferson Twilight, Jay Pharoah as Nuno Blood, Steven Rattazzi as Dr. Orpheus, JK Simmons as Ben, and Dana Snyder as The Alchemist. A project of Titmouse, Adult Swim, and Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, all that radiant baboon heart blood will be gushing forth later this year.

Okay, Venturoos. Here's what ya get for the Extras, at least on the DVD version. I felt it was a little light, but that's just my opinion. Deleted Scenes (as always) - Some are B&W sketches with the dialog, others are animated with the dialog. Ghost in the Pro-Blem - An extended view of the distorted images of events from the Pro-BLEM's point of view. Maybe there are some clues hidden in it if you like frame-by-frame advancing. Maybe not. Sirena Goes Off... - Cristin Milioti ad-libbing way more dialog than the script calls for. Poor Rocco. Promo - Basically the season 7 promo. Maybe there's Easter Eggs to find. I haven't done any extensive searching yet. If anyone finds any feel free to post them here!
