The wait has been painful, but come August, it'll be over — the wait, anyway. The Venture Bros. is returning and creator Jackson Publick has let slip a sneak peek at what's to come.

We seem to have re-embraced the show's sci-fi/comic book/adventure roots, and as much as it was a struggle to write them, they're a whole lot of fun. Lots more development of Hank and Dean, lots of new characters, and lots of old faces returning both triumphantly and trivially."
