Adult Swim Renews The Venture Bros.!!!

This is epic news!  With The Boondocks gone The Venture Bros. were the best show remaining on Adult Swim.  This is definitely great news.  This move along with Mongo Wrestling Alliance and the upcoming Black Dynamite series, will give me at least original shows to check for on a semi-frequent basis.

Straight from co-creator, Jackson Publick:

We've recently signed a new contract with adultswim to produce two more seasons of The Venture Bros.

Doc and I officially started writing last week. Though, in truth, we technically started writing season 5 last year when we accidentally brainstormed a handful of (we think) pretty hot new stories while we were writing the season 4 finale. Our goal is to have enough scripts to comfortably begin pre-production by June.

Our contract also includes a long-form (60-90 min.) Venture Bros. special. Don't ask me when we'll make it, what it's going to be about, or whether it'll be on TV or direct-to-DVD, because we don't have a clue yet. Nevertheless: good news!

Black Dynamite Coming To Adult Swim & Comic Book Stores

Fans of the film will feel right at home with the comic, states Ape Entertainment founder and co-publisher Brent E. Erwin.  It has all of the elements that made the movie a cultural phenomenon, and Black Dynamite himself is still as much of a bad dude on the page as he is on the screen.

Directed by Scott Sanders, the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009 and stars Michael Jai White as Black Dynamite, a gun-toting, nunchuck-wielding, ladies man willing to fight all the way from the blood-soaked city streets to the hallowed halls of the Honky House.

Although written for film, Black Dynamite was always meant to move beyond the camera, continues Sanders.  As a medium, comic books seemed like such a logical step in Black Dynamite's development as a character, and what better way to start than having him bring down the infamous Slave Island.

Black Dynamite: Slave Island is based on a story by Michael Jai White, Byron Minns and Scott Sanders. Written by Brian Ash with pencils by Jun Lofamia, the 48-page one-shot is due in stores in early 2011.
