(DVD Box Art by Bill Sienkiewicz.)
I've been on a Venture Bros. deep dive. The only thing I can trace it back to is thinking about heading up to New York Comic Con in October, where five years ago I saw the best panel I've ever attended, Let's All Smoking, hosted by show creator Jackson Publick and his main man Doc Hammer. Whatever it was, I've been rewatching the whole series from the beginning (if you don't like that episode, you don't like one of my all-time Top 5 moments of TV), reading all of the behind the scenes junk on every episode in the Go Team Venture art book from Dark Horse, and completing my 8" Biff Bang Pow figure collection.
The two things that have struck me the most are 1) how many comic people were involved (Power of Shazam's Mike Manley, The Tick's Ben Edlund, Black Canary's Annie Wu, the legendary Bill Sienkiewicz), yet no comics were ever created for it even though Jackson Publick originally planned to do the series as a comic and 2) I wish we had done more of an Astrobase Go aesthetic with the store's decor and our personalities.
Also, I'll be at Geeksboro Battle Pub's Totally Free Craft Fair on Saturday, August 25th from 11 AM - 3:30 PM testing out our wares for Greensboro Comicon, so come by if you'd like first crack at a deal on comics or toys and grab a plate of the best tater tots in town!

I had the pleasure today of having lunch with my old friend Joe Scott, proprietor of Geeksboro Battle Pub, formerly Geeksboro Coffee & Beverage Company, formerly Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema, now located across from Target at 2618 Lawndale Drive. Sampling the Lady Vengeance (tatter tots, teriyaki tri tip steak, sriracha), the pimento beer cheese with homemade pita chips, and the big ol’ bacon wrapped meatball, and everything was spot on!
For lunch, dinner, brunch, or a nightcap, it will definitely be a new go to restaurant for me as well as continuing on as the beacon of the nerd culture community in the Gate City! We’ll be installing a spinner rack to keep stocked with lots of first issues to keep you busy while you wait for your grub or beverage, and we’ll be working with Joe and his new partner Steven on more comic-centric programming in the months to come.
Speaking of comic programming, I took some time last Saturday to beef up our events page here on the site with all of our likely convention appearances through the end of the year as well as our plans for Batman Day, 24 Hour Comics Day, and Halloween ComicFest!

Finally have a new piece of home at work. One of my favorite Hangouts back when I used to live in Greensboro was @geeksboro . I had been going there since opening night! Was really sad that I hadn't been able to go in the past few times I visited home. This time I made it a point to stop by, grab a coffee, and play some games. Saw that they had these fantastic fan mugs and I knew exactly which one I needed to have. Miss you guys, keep being awesome. See you, space cowboy #cowboybebop #anime #cinema #independentcinema #coffeehouse #coffee #videogames #geeksboro #geek
