As is the way with many modern works of art, the hugely undervalued animated TV series, The Venture Bros. has been flirting with cancelation for a long time. Even though its hugely committed fans have had the pleasure of a movie follow-up to round out the final season, The Venture Bros. is one of those series that truly justifies the phrase “the show must go on.”As one of Adult Swim’s longest-running original series, The Venture Bros. ran for over 15 years and produced seven seasons as well as a number of specials before its 2020 cancelation. Fortunately for fans, The Venture Bros: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart released in July 2023 as the last hurrah for the cult franchise. Following the exploits of the titular Venture family, The Venture Bros. is at once a parody of, and a love letter to, everything from old pulp adventures and shows like Johnny Quest, to almost every era of superhero fiction. Though mostly a comedy, the series tackles profound and dark issues with surprising depth and nuance as it follows the lives of people who live in the shadow of the superhero world, as they struggle to keep their wits about them when they’re confronted with “mind-blowing weirdness at every turn.”The Venture Bros. lore is practically made for the comics page with its world of shadowy secret societies, legions of supervillains, and mysterious nations within nations. The show straddles the Golden and Modern Age of comics, lampooning everything in between. As the series draws so much from and is directly inspired by the best offerings of the Marvel Comics and DC Universes, it stands to reason that it would thrive in the same medium that produced them.RELATED: The Venture Bros.
