Is there a comic book even remotely similar to The Venture Bros.?

>>88546808
A lot of Venture Bros is based on various Marvel comics.

>>88546808
Deadpool, I guess

It has the same mix of satirical comedy and depressing failure

>>88546831
And the cartoon Johnny Quest

>>88546808
Venture Bros is more of a parody of comic book culture as a whole rather than of any specific comic book.

Atomic Robo? Sort of

>>88546879
I think OP means is there a comic with a similar interesting universe, good humor, and emotional depth to Venture Bros.

>>88546879
Yeah, no one specific comic is going to be just like Venture Brothers, but some might share a few things in common.

>>88546908
On that wave length, the entirety of 8-bit Theater.

>>88546914
I can actually very easily imagine Atomic Robo and Venture Bros. taking place in the same universe.

>>88546808
The Tick?

The entire issue was both free as part of free comicbook day and the entire series is free on his website, so it's not as if there's any point in storytiming this
But some of you won't read something until I shove it down your dick

Apropos of nothing, the Savage Sword of Dr. Dinosaur is the apex of human achievement and the gold standard by which all sequential art should be graded.

>>88547208
This is one of my favorite punchlines to anything ever.

I love the way that cover mocks classic swords and sorcery novels by putting the super robot in the position of the wench

The Boys

>>88547407
God damn, I would love to see The Boys in the world of the Venture Bros. Dr. Mrs. The Monarch getting so annoyed at these Punisher wannabes breaking the rules of the Guild.

How do you even fuck up talking dinosaurs and robots? It's astounding.

Might as well be set in the same damn universe.

The Flaming Carrot

All "edgelord" memes aside, Ennis and Venture Bros both deal with masculinity and friendship very similarly, so..

>>88546808
>Ennis' DC work
Superheroes, friendship, masculinity (failure, strength and weakness, honor)
>Early Cerebus
Parody that takes on a life of its own. Captain Cockroach is an ur-character in the Venture Bros as far as I'm concerned.
>Major Bummer
Wacky super hero parody
>Madman
Wacky post-modern superhero with a vibrant supporting cast. Full of kriby throwbacks and existential musings.

and many more I'm sure.

>>88547577
Having a stick up your ass does NOT constitute something being unfunny or "fucked up". You just don't like it. Stop attempting to use your OPINIONS as though you speak with some fucking authority.

>>88546808
atomic robo

I'd say Nextwave Agents of H.A.T.E. is pretty damn close.

>>88547599
Got a download link for that series? I can only find issue #2.

Yes.

>>88547012
Probably since Christopher McCulloch first worked on Tick spin-off comics before he got into the animation industry.
