Even More Comic-Con Madness
For those of you attending SDCC this year, you already know about the Venture Bros. panel with Jackson and Doc, of course, but did you know they'll also be autographing things at the Adult Swim booth on Saturday? Check out Adult Swim's kind of creepy SDCC page for more info on non-Venture stuff, but the deets you want are Saturday, July 26th from 12pm until 1pm at the Adult Swim booth, #3721. Also make sure you get your butt to the Adult Swim booth sometime earlier in the day (the earlier the better) to pick up tickets for the signing, because you'll need one to get an autograph.
Additionally Entertainment Earth has a couple of convention exclusive Venture Bros. items that you can purchase at their booth (booth #2343):

Join The Venture Bros. Panel at SDCC 2014
Comic-Con is slowly releasing the schedule, but the most important event for Venture Bros. fans is this year's Venture panel. It will be on Friday, July 25th at 12:15pm:
The fifth annual [adult swim] panel block at Comic-Con will be kicked off with the cult-favorite series The Venture Bros. Co-creators Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer take the stage to discuss the upcoming sixth season of their original series and to answer fan questions.
I'll have the full slate of Venture Bros. events and activities all in one place for you to peruse once all schedules are finalized. Until then, get your costumes ready!Book It: Venture Bros. Between Season Special Later This Year
Saw over on Adult Swim Central that the Venture Bros. between-seasons special has been formally announced and slated for release sometime this year:
THE VENTURE BROS. SPECIAL - Space. The final frontier, where no one can hear you scream, revenge is only served cold, and the drinks are comped in the casino. Join the Ventures—and pretty much everyone they’ve ever crossed paths with—as they rocket to the Gargantua-2 space station for an epic, hour-long adventure that will change the Ventureverse as we know it forever. Created and directed by Jackson Publick and written by Publick and Doc Hammer, both of whom also provide voices for the special, The Venture Bros. Special is being animated by Titmouse, Inc. The half-hour animated special premieres on Adult Swim later this year.
No word on if the special is an hour or half hour, but either way, Venture Bros. on the way in 2014! Thanks to Papa Thorn and Adam for sending me the news."Art of the Venture Bros" Art Book Officially Announced by Dark Horse
It was laready mentioned by Jackson and Doc last Comic-Con, but Dark Horse has formally announced The Art of the Venture Bros., a huge art book chock full of Venture history.
This massive coffee table book includes original artwork, character designs, storyboards, painted backgrounds, and props from every episode of The Venture Bros. to date, with accompanying commentary on the development of the series from cocreators Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer!
Check out the earliest sketches of all your favorite Venture Bros. characters and the genesis of the ideas that became some of the show’s funniest episodes.
To top it off, comedian Patton Oswalt pens a very special foreword!
Venture Bros. Back On The Air
After a lengthy hiatus, Adult Swim is finally putting Venture Bros. back on the air. Starting this Sunday, April 6th, at 8pm Eastern/Pacific time (adjust for your timezone accordingly) you can catch a one-hour block of episodes from the very beginning, season one. The second episode in the block will also reair the next morning (or later that night, depending on your sleep schedule and employment status) at 5am. You can always stay on top of the schedule (except when I forget to update it) by checking the official Mantis-Eye Venture Bros. schedule. Official for this site, but not Adult Swim, that is. They have their own, but it's got a bunch of other shows on it so it's harder to figure out.
Reminder: Venture Bros. Season 5 DVD and Blu-Ray on March 4th
I know it's been a while, but time apart is good for us, I swear! We'll be back together before you know it! At any rate, just a quick reminder that the Venture Bros. season five Blu-Ray and DVD are out in a few short days: on March 4th! If you're into it, there's still plenty of time to pre-order them from Amazon and get them just in time. The Blu-Ray version is $24.96 and the DVD is $18.96. You could also go out and buy them from the store if you prefer, but you're on your own in that case.
Venture Bros. Season Five DVD/Blu-Ray Revealed!
Sometime earlier today the art and release date for the Venture Bros. season five DVD/Blu-Ray was released! You can check out the art below (click for a bigger version) and the release date is currently March 4th, 2014 for both formats. All season five episodes will be included, as well as "From The Ladle To The Grave..." and "A Very Venture Halloween" (technically part of season five's arc). You can also pre-order the DVD version on Amazon for a mere $17.49. No specific word on any extras just yet, though there will be the usual episode commentaries from Jackson and Doc.
Super Late: NYCC 2013 Wrap-Up
We may be in the middle of the long Venture-gap but that doesn't mean I can't update you with a list of interviews and videos from this year's NYCC! Sorry for being tardy, but that's just how it goes sometimes.
- PSNation has a nearly 10 minute video of a round table discussion Jackson and Doc had with various members of the press. Promises of season six, along with some good character discussions. Well worth watching!
- Kastor's Korner has a nice summary of a talk with Jackson and Doc along with 12 minutes of audio from the interview. Lots of insightful and interesting stuff in there, worth listening if you have the time!
- Short interview by Open The Fridge. Doc and Jackson provide some musical insight and, I guess if you ever wanted to see a guy wearing a Flash t-shirt and a sports coat interview Jackson and Doc then this is for you!
NYCC Venture Bros. Panel Video
Adult Swim has posted a video of (most?) of the Venture Bros. panel from NYCC earlier in the month! Since we're in between-season limbo there's no new footage or anything, but plenty of Jackson and Doc. If you've got 45 minutes, you should check it out!
Venture Bros. Panel at NYCC 2013
As is the custom, Jackson and Doc will be hosting a Venture Bros. panel at this year's New York Comic Con. The panel is on Friday, October 11th at 4pm on the main stage, 1-D. NYCC runs from October 10th until the 13th this year. No word on any potential special guests just yet, but stay tuned.
