Venture Bros. Comic-Con Panel Video
As Jackson promised the Venture Bros. panel from this year's Comic-Con is already up on Adult Swim in video format. I know, you've probably already seen the various handheld filmed ones floating around, but here's the official one. Enjoy!
The Sketchbooks Are Alright
With the end of Comic-Con comes the end of the Mantis-Eye Comic-Con Giveaway which means no more free sketchbooks! While that's lame for all but the four lucky folks who won, I do have some bonus news for the rest of you. For only ten measly dollars (plus an additional three for shipping) you can have your very own sketchbook complete with sketch of your choice. Not only that but you'll be supporting an awesome artist and guy who helps bring Venture Bros. to life, which would be pretty cool of you.
Meanwhile thanks to everyone who participated and sorry to the two dudes who answered that they were going to Comic-Con. You never had a chance, but I do appreciate your honesty.

Impressions From The Venture Bros. Panel
Today's Venture Bros. panel featuring Jackson, Doc, James Urbaniak and Patrick Warburton apparently went well, and various web sites will provide info about it to you, the reader! Cool, right? These will be updated as a find them:
- UGO has another article with some details on what happened at the panel. (Thanks Robert!)
- io9 has an interview with Jackson Publick which goes into some stuff that will go on in the next eight episodes, plus some other random stuff. (Thanks again, Robert!)
- AV Club has some insights into the panel (including comparing it with other panels). Scroll down a little to find it.
Adult Swim Panel Impressions
UGO has some impressions of yesterday's Adult Swim panel which included Doc & Jackson (along with teams from other shows). There was some Venture Bros. news that we already knew (season start, DVD release) but also some interesting tidbits such as:
Doc Hammer feels the upcoming episodes to be "better," with less Sgt. Hatred, but more Brock Samson and Shore Leave, and possibly even a few musical numbers. "Buckle up for a bumpy season."
BifBangPow! Venture Bros. Figures At Comic-Con
ActionFigurePics.com has a look at the BBP Venture Bros. figures which includes not only the figures that we've seen but shots of wave two figures: Classic Dr. Girlfriend, Dr. Orpheus, Hank (yes, Hank) and Phantom Limb complete with hilarious clear arms and legs. These ones look less prototype-y than the original set we saw way back when.

Venture Bros. Stuff At Comic-Con 2010
For those of you attending Comic-Con 2010 in San Diego this year I've put together a schedule of all the Venture-related happenings. This includes all the panels and signings as well as any unofficial meetups I could find (so far only one). Be sure to let me know if there's anything else that should be added, and have fun to all attending!
Jackson Talks About Venture Bros. Season 4.2 And The DVD
With a decent amount of confusion surrounding the announcement of Venture Bros. season 4.2's start date as well as the 4.1 DVD, I decided to go straight to the source to get some clarification on the whole thing. Super thanks to Jackson for taking some time to set the record straight and provide some useful info.
September 12th Bump Confirmation
Many thanks to BumpWorthy.com for being awesome. For those of you who haven't seen the mysterious bump (like me) here's a grab from it:
Here's a video of the entire thing which includes start dates for a couple other shows.

Season 4.1 DVD Coming October 26th
Fresh on the heels of the premiere episodes of season 4.2, the first eight episodes of Venture Bros. season 4 (dubbed 'Volume 1' on the packaging) will show up on DVD on October 6th. No news on what the set will include, though it is apparently a two disc set, so expect commentaries from Jackson, Doc and friends at the very least. Note that, as Jackson mentioned in his blog there won't be a Blu-Ray release until the complete season four can be put on it. So if you're buying on Blu-Ray you won't have anything to worry about until at least next spring, but DVD folks will have two sets to buy.The set has a suggested price of $23.98, so you may be able to snag it for $20 some places. Many thanks to Robert Sullivan for sending me this news; he is apparently better at finding this stuff than I am!
