"I'M CHARLES IN CHARGE OF YOU!"


Hank and Dean Venture are back in the adventure "Blood of the Father, Heart of Steel"!

I'm not gonna lie the Season 4 premier of Venture Bros. could have easily been a season finale; it was that crazy. Though, it could have been a bit more linear, but it was really quite genius.

The episode picks up directly after Season 3 leaves off with Brock quitting, The Monarch's car blowing up with Henchman 24 and H.E.L.P.E.R. inside, and all of Doc Venture's Boy Clones dead....but afterward is when the real comedy starts. It seems that Brock was taken back in by the O.S.I. to get treatment for shrapnel wounds (H.E.L.P.E.R.'s head), but he escapes and goes on the lam.

To be totally honest though, I found all of the things happening back at The Venture Compound way funnier. It seems that Sargent Hatred is now Venture's new bodyguard, a bunch on Nazis are trying to get Doc Venture to clone a new Hitler from a dog who is Hitler's direct descendant (and Dean's new best friend), and Henchman 21 is a wayward soul of steals the X-1 to pick up his L.A.R.P crew, The Orchard St. Wolf back.

All and all a wildly entertaining and geeky as hell premier (particularly loved the Comic Book Price Guide joke) and I cannot wait for next week's Kevin Conroy-enhanced next episode.

Awesome Last Line: "BOYO! You don't know DICK!"
