On the next Major Spoilers Podcast, the Major Spoilers Crew is cracking open Eric Powell’s first volume of The Goon stories from Albatross Exploding Funny Books.
Bones will be broken and heads will roll! The Goon is a laugh-out-loud action-packed romp through the streets of a town infested with zombies. An insane priest is building himself an army of the undead, and there’s only one man who can put them is their place: the man they call Goon. Collects The Goon series and The Goon Color Special, originally published by Albatross Exploding Funny Books; presented here for the first time in full color.

What happens when you take Eric Powell’s popular The Goon and turn it into a CGI feature? Ain’t It Cool News has the first look, and I like what I’m seeing. If you are going to translate an artist’s style into 3D, it’s always best to follow it as closely as possible. Click the link to access the super hi-res versions of the image.
Eric Powell has been a busy guy, spending a lot of time working on The Goon: Chinatown and the Mystery of Mr. Wicker graphic novel. Dark Horse Comics has announced Powell will return to regular writing and art duties on The Goon series, starting with issue #19.
The brand-new story is the beginning of major upheavals in the Goon universe. The Zombie Priest and his latest abominations continue to plague the streets, but his madness and use of forbidden magic is drawing forces to Lonely Street that he may not be able to control. Plus the Goon comic is now offering 50% more poop jokes than all the Marvel and DC superhero titles combined. Suck on that, X-Men!
The Goon #19 hits stands July 17.
