I have to say that Eric Powell, creator of The Goon series, does an excellent job telling a story and illustrating it. One of the characters dies in this graphic novel, characters from past stories reemerge, and new characters are introduced.

The story picks up after volume 5, since volume 6 was a short hiatus from the ongoing storyline.

Overall, it was a great read. Looking forward to reading the next in the ser "The Goon: Looking forward to reading the next in the series. Aug 07, Jarlos added it. Jul 13, Vleegoodfellow rated it really liked it Shelves: Great art as usual. This, as the start of that arc, looks promising however. The Oprah commentary at the end is enjoyable, but feels like more a tacked on afterthought. Now get reading, and cry and laugh your guts out! Dec 30, Erika rated it really liked it Shelves: You think happiness can be found in a giant round butt. If I can't find happiness in a lady's perfectly sculpted posterior Feb 10, Mike rated it it was amazing Shelves: Great story - hilarious interplay between Goon and Frankie, and a fun way to end the book this time around.

I'm enjoying Powell's mastery of his universe more and more - the perfect way all these disparate elements just gel is impressive and makes me want to apply for citizenship in this weird, scary burg. Jan 07, Christian added it. I'm running out of things to say about The Goon, 'cause every volume is a gorgeous mix of hard-boiled pulp and gross humor.

Nobody draws like Eric Powell - people loom, monsters ooze, and there's a wicked character beneath everything. Feb 07, Ryan Haupt rated it really liked it. Was worried it may have lost the funny but then it had me laughing out loud and reading passages aloud to friends. At the end he even makes fun of Oprah, which is nice in a story with some much nonsensical action to find out the creator eschews such silliness when applied to the real world.

Nov 04, 47Time rated it it was amazing Shelves: The priest is screwed by his own side, magical beings with great power that cause a stir on Lonely Street. They also move in on Goon and his friends.

The Goon will not let that stand. The prologue was among the most hilarious things I've ever read. I'm not being a dinglepiper about it, either. Mar 31, Hillingdon Libraries marked it as graphic-novels.

Find this book at Hillingdon Libraries. Sep 04, Harry Connolly rated it it was amazing. My God, but The Goon has been a fantastic series. The dated bit of social satire at the end of this volume squelches the fun a little bit, but the incredibly dark humor very, very dark and very raw , the characterizations, the incredible artwork These are fantastic books. Jul 28, Kalysto marked it as comics. Jul 16, Loren rated it really liked it. Jul 22, Mathew Carruthers rated it it was amazing. This is the first I've read of this title - now I need to start from the beginning.

Great story and art, laugh out loud funny. Oct 16, Waffles rated it it was amazing.

According to Powell, "a grass-roots movement was started to try to keep retailers from carrying it by a right-wing Bible thumper in Alabama named 'Margaret Snodgrass'. She claimed that the comic was morally reprehensible and contacted local area retailers telling them that even allowing the comic to be stocked on their shelves could lead to their ever-lasting damnation.

The Goon, Volume 7: A Place of Heartache and Grief

Some listened to her and threatened to stop carrying The Goon altogether because of this single issue. The inside cover, however, maintained the original title "Satan's Sodomy Baby," along with the original cover art. Four pages of the book reprinted several fan letters in support of the struggle against Snodgrass. There has never been any evidence of a real boycott, no retailers have ever spoken out on the issue, and there is no evidence of Mrs. Snodgrass' existence other than a MySpace page created around the time of Powell's initial announcement and abandoned immediately after the Sodomy issue was released.

It will be called SSB2 to avoid the same issues with the title of the first story. In January , Eric Powell announced plans for a 3-part miniseries featuring the character Buzzard, set after the events of Goon Year. The 3-part series simply entitled "Buzzard" was later published in The Goon: Noir is a series of original short stories by various artists and authors not including Eric Powell himself , which take place within the world of The Goon. Not necessarily a spin-off, but maintaining a similar tone while being appropriate for all ages, is another recently published comic by Powell called Chimichanga.

Chimichanga is about a bearded girl, a gorilla monster and a witch. Originally a self-published graphic novel, in September it was published in hardcover format by Dark Horse Comics, with colours by Dave Stewart. The film's future is uncertain as it has had trouble procuring funds.

Prepping the design and script while searching for funding. All the work you've seen animation footage, trailers, artwork, etc. We created "proof of concept" footage to show Hollywood the incredible potential of a Goon movie. As of July , Blur Studios and Tim Miller teased an upcoming announcement regarding the film and said it "would happen".

In the film Superbad , Evan is playing a video game in his bedroom while his friend Seth stands in the doorway. During this scene's lively exchange, two different posters for The Goon are clearly visible hanging on the walls next to each actor. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
