Goon appreciation thread :) 5 5

[Foley]

I'm a late starter on this, and only 10 issues or so in, but I absolutely love it so far! Great writing and art.

#3 was pretty fun. 

I definitely like that his writing has returned to the early Goon days.  Light hearted and fun. 

The movie (lack thereof) and longevity on the book seems to really take a toll on his writing before the last series wrapped up.

I thought the latest 3 issues have been really fun. The art is even better then ever. I think I read in an interview that Powell said he's trying to add more background detail which I think is really coming through as Lonely Street feels more alive and diverse as ever. Rachael Cohen on colors has been killing it, as well; adds a bit more vibrancy to this volume that we haven't seen before for The Goon. 

The cover for issue 4 coming up is unbelievable! Can't wait to pick that one up.

Love the goon. Currently playing the RPG with a couple of friends via zoom every week. The source material is fantastic for this purpose. I’m only missing a couple of issues but really want an avatar Goon #1. Willing to pay a decent price for a 9.8 if anyone has a lead.

Dang, that's a link.  

Goon is the best.  Though I enjoy the current series, it's definitely lacking the Powell touch.

Thanks, yeah, I don’t buy high end books off feebay and that dealer won’t respond to reason.

My jaw's still on the ground after having watched the live stream of that 9.9 Goon #1.

I was an underbidder with a max bid best described as "cute" compared to where it wound up.

I thought this 25 cent issue was a great idea by Dark Horse.  I had never read Goon until this issue and I've bought every one that has come out since.  I've even been buying the ones that have been coming out lately that aren't by Powell.

[Jasonmorris1000000]

Lately I've been sending in Eric Powell Swamp Thing covers to CGC.  He did #21-29.  #22 is the best, but I can't seem to find a 9.8.

Let’s jump start this thread again.  Just got done re-reading the first series and have started in on the next one (yep, a little late to that party).

Sick collection! You should pickup dreamwalker too. Slightly earlier than the AI you have and easy enough to find. 

[Parabellum]

Thank you @xNerdyThingsx!

Im working on Dreamwalker 0 now.  I posted a thread in the WTB forum.  

[HighVoltage]

These ain’t no Parabellum-level copies, but I love the Goon!

Met Eric at a show many moons ago & had him sign these.
