Goon Headed to the Big Screen

Review: Dr. Horrible

From the moment Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog hit the intardwebz, fans of musical comedies, with a superhero hook have been in seventh heaven. While there have been a couple of attempts to tell a Dr. Horrible origin story, the official take on the villain’s past can only be found in the pages of Dr. Horrible #1 from Dark Horse Comics.

Review: Nola #1

Scorned and left for dead by the man she thought she loved, Nola Thomas returns to the flooded city of New Orleans a different woman than she was prior to the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina. What sequence of events could change a beautiful woman looking for love to a scarred woman looking for revenge?

Goon Headed to the Big Screen

By: Stephen Schleicher | July 3rd, 2008

Dark Horse Entertainment is bringing Eric Powell’s Goon to the big screen as a CG animated movie.

Created by Eric Powell in 1999, the comic follows the adventures of a muscle-bound brawler who claims to be the primary enforcer for a feared mobster. The stories have a paranormal and comedic edge to them and concern ghosts, zombies, mad scientists and “skunk apes.”

While no studio has been signed for distribution, Blur Studios will be doing the CG work. There’s also no word if this will be an original tale, or an adaptation of one of the existing story arcs. I personally would vote for Chinatown.
