Ever Get the Feeling You've Been Conned?
The search for authenticity at Comic-Con 2010
But not everyone is so jaded. Friday afternoon, following a panel for Adult Swim, we saw a small group of The Venture Bros. cosplayers out on the convention center patio. An animated comedy about an inept "superscientist," his two sons, their bodyguard and a host of failed heroes and villains, The Venture Bros. has amassed a strong cult following during its four seasons on the late-night cartoon network. The cosplayers were amazing, decked out in elaborate villain costumes that appeared to be at least partially homemade. Also out on the patio were the brains, and voices, behind the series: Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer. They were dressed in speed suits similar to the ones that appear in the show. The cosplayers went on to pose for photos and chat with Publick and Hammer and get autographs outside of the duo's designated signing sessions. It was the kind of thing you expect to see at Comic-Con but rarely do. Far removed from the intensity of Hall H, the deluge of fliers and blinding mess of corporate branding was a glimmer of what had made Comic-Con mecca for fans in the first place.
