Venture Capital: Jackson Publick Confirms Two More Seasons and a Special

Today's the day that the Venture Bros. Season 4, Vol. 2 DVD and the Complete Season 4 Blu-ray hit stores - and come home with me, so I can finally watch the uncensored season finale and learn the terrible truth of what a Rusty Venture really is. 

Now that in of itself is the awesomesauce - but there's more.

Jackson Publick has announced on his blog that they have officially re-upped with Adult Swim for two more seasons, in addition to a "long-form (60-90 min.) Venture Bros. special".

I don't know what form said special will take but I'm relatively certain it will be amazing.

Venture Bros. is the best thing to hapen to TV since 1967's Spider-Man series. OK, Joss Whedon is also awesome, but he's in a class unto himself, he doesn't count, and in any event he's moved on to the web, comics, and gigantic big-screen blockbusters.

The Venture Bros. are the best thing on TV, just as surely as Jackson Publick is the best thing on LiveJournal and this is the best news I've read all day.

Go, Team Venture!!

Wolverine Meets Brock Samson

If tough guy stares could kill...! Brock and Wolvie meet up, and geekgasms commence. All we need is Golden Age and/or Pre-Crisis Batman and this is pretty much Valhalla, right here.

Ask an Adult Swim employee anything.

That's what the anonymous gentleman said, as he posted on 4Chan. So this is happening right now. He (or she? Probably "he") is taking potshots at Seth Green "smug little shit", and getting a few in return.

And now for the best Pete White cosplay you'll see all day...

Just because. Here you go, fella!

Boondocks Season 3 DVD gets release date

At long last - according to Amazon.com, at least - we have a release date for the highly-anticipated DVD release of The Boondocks: The Complete Third Season.

Drumroll... November 9!  Just 6 days from now.

Assuming Amazon is correct.  They've estimated the date on this one once or twice, and subsequently postponed it - they could have been getting their information from the distributor, who isn't in direct communication with Adult Swim, or Aaron McGruder might be throwing in last-minute extras - these things are beyond my knowledge and control.  

However, it seems very unlikely that they would finally post a release date, less than a week from today, without a great deal of confidence in its accuracy.

And Tuesdays are "new DVD release days" after all. And Wednesday is new comics, and Thursday we try and explain why we can't afford this month's rent.

Anyway, I pre-ordered back in June and I've just received an e-mail telling me to expect my DVD by November 12.  You can place your order for the excellent third - and in all likelihood, final - season of the Boondocks on DVD here.
