I love the Goon.I think it's absolute genius. Powell found a gap, an extremely cool gap, and filled it in. That said, in my opinion this is one of the weaker contributions to the series. It just seemed really short and a bit under inspired compared to the other graphic novels. Maybe there's only so much you can do with a concept like the Goon or maybe the honeymoon's over for me. Either way don't miss out on this series, it's a lot of fun. ( )
