If the occasional bit of potty humor seems senselessly over the top, it's quickly forgiven in the swirl of action and laughs in this tasty collection. From Publishers Weekly Lovers of monster comics, zombie capers and brooding heroes will enjoy the third Goon collection, with its loving mockery of horror conventions. The Goon himself is a Bogart-type antihero, and his "Rick's Café" is Norton's Pub, a dead-end joint in a landscape equal parts English village and Depression-era Chicago.

And, at the same time in certain isolated moments Goon is really really funny. The stories run a very comprehensive gamut of outlandishness and can go from hilariously over the top to downright emotionally haunting.The stories are compelling, the art is fantastic, and the characters are lovable in all of their calloused glory.
