Went to Comic Con this weekend here in Germany. I’ve been cosplaying The Venture Bros. since, well, since the show first premiered. But this was my first time as Dr. Mrs. The Monarch. And my partner was a good sport of being The Monarch.
So I renewed my HBO Max account just to watch Matrix Resurrections. It was pretty meh, but I was still happy to see Neo and Trinity after so long. So whatever. But then I was stuck with a month’s subscription and wondering what else to watch.
I haven’t watched Adult Swim in a really long time and somehow I totally missed season 7 of Venture Brothers even being a thing! I binged it of course once I found it on HBO.
The thing that makes me sad though is how many people who like Marvel or DC, and superhero/villain crack AU’s, are totally sleeping on this amazing show. It’s all the best superhero/villain tropes, but adult themed and uncensored. It’s set in the same universe as the original Johnny Quest. And the way everything interweaves and the call back jokes that stretch across years of VB episodes is something to behold. A seemingly throw away character in one season can show up again years later. I love that. You think all MCU movies intertwine? VB doesn’t forget anything either.
The show has 7 seasons and one series finale movie still in the works. I have no shame trying to share this with anyone that I can. Here’s the video summary of seasons 1-4 below to see if this would also match your brand of humor. I beg you to give it a try if you even think that you might like it.
TL;DR:Go stream the Venture Brothers!!!

“The High Cost of Loathing” designs (part 1)
Jeez, I’m really slacking off again with my posts huh? Here are some of the designs I did for The High Cost of Loathing… Lots of fun costume stuff! I’ll post more tomorrow.
Oh and some quick thoughts below on presentation and the importance of photo reference… If anyone is interested:
Monarch_New_Costume_v01- This new armor is partially based on Monarch’s Death’s Head Panoply Battle Armor. I suggested that we have it radiate with light and sparkle like Liam Neeson’s god armor in that goofy 2010 “Clash of The Titans” remake haha. I added the photo mostly for laughs, but I think it also helps show the vibe I was going for.
21_New_Uniform_v01- For some reason I also pasted in bits from the script onto the roughs… Probably because there was a lot going on in these scenes, and certain character designs had different costume variations or functionality.
Doc_Wearing_Suit_Jacket_v02 & Watchers 01-02- For fantasy/sci-fi tech costumes you can usually get away with making it all up. But Doc here required a specific “billionaire” suit & glasses look, and the cargo ship watchmen needed authentic, believable outfits… So reference from real life was a must for this stuff.
