Koete Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Anyone else a fan of Eric Powell's "The Goon"? I got to meet Eric Powell at Baltimore Con this past September, and after enjoying his work on Action Comics a great deal, I picked up the first trade of The Goon at his booth. I'm three trades in now and loving every issue. The art is fantastic, the painted covers are gorgeous, and the stories are hilarious. Spontaneously combusting orangutans? Pure genius.

Missy Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 To date I've only read two issues: the $0.25 special and Satan's Sodomy Baby. Both were quite enjoyable. A while back Dark Horse sent me the forthcoming graphic novel The Goon: Chinatown. Hopefully I'll have a review posted soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 The cool part about the Chinatown graphic novel is that there have been references to something happening with The Goon in Chinatown, pretty much since the beginning of the series.

Koete Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Read The Goon: Chinatown today. Absolutely fantastic. Also read issues 19 and 20, so now I'm caught up except for the Volume 0, which collects the issues published at Avatar. The Goon just started its monthly run at issue 20 so it's a perfect time to jump on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
