The creators of Adult Swim's cult hit The Venture Bros., Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer, held a decidedly "adult" panel to promote the Season 3 "uncensored" DVD and Blu Ray release of the show and to bring their wild and crazy brand of humor to the fans at Comic Con. The DVD and Blu Ray will hit stores on March 24th and is the very first Adult Swim show to be released in the Blu Ray format.
Joined by The Venture Bros. voice actor Michael Sinterniklaas, the duo answered questions from the crowd (with tongue firmly in cheek most of the time), and screened deleted scenes included on the Season 3 set. Also included on the Blu Ray version is a 20-track CD including all of the music from Season 3 - although they did mention the music would be available separately for non-Blu Ray customers as well.
As for the upcoming season, the duo is currently in production and didn't have any new footage to show. However, they were confident that new episodes would debut later this year. They also mentioned a few guest stars whose voices we can look forward to hearing in Season 4 including John Hodgeman (The Daily Show), notable stand-up comedian Patton Oswalt and the voice of Batman himself, Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series).
To lay to rest any confusion, the creators reitrated that Henchman 24 is definitely dead, Baron Underbite is definitely alive and that Colonel Hunter Gathers will be "all over" Season 4. They also joked that because of the crowd's unilateral hatred of The Murderous Moppets, they were even more excited about possibly bringing them back.
