More great fun from the Goon. This one starts with a prisoner break, works in a nice Monster in a Rubber suit homage, takes a funny detour with Hellboy and ends on a somber note with Goon married a Vampire! Eric is a master storyteller with his art and a master humorist. I love seeing Dr. Aloy again and I love to see how characters like the Nameless man and the Buzzard help give these stories a bigger arc without sacrificing the fun one and done stories. An amazing series, love the humour, the a...

It's more Goon. At this point you either get it or you don't and you will continue reading, or you won't. I happen to think it's funny and will continue reading. I would like to make note that I never expected to read quite this much Goon. I thought I would be entertained for a couple of trades and then leave it alone. Yet, somehow more Goon winds its way into my hands. No complaint from me.

I like that Powell keeps the stories down to one issue but then has returning characters. It's kind of the best of both worlds. Any new reader can jump on at any point and long term readers are rewarded. The Goon gets the gang together to rescue the Buzzard. A giant kaiju battle, a Hellboy crossover, and a vampire story. I loved the Hellboy crossover. I liked how Powell and Mignola worked it out so they both got to pencil some pages. The two characters have a lot of similarities and work great t...

The Goon saga continues with Goon and co. planning a breakout for one of the more mysterious characters in their world, the Buzzard, an undead sheriff cursed to live forever with the deaths of those under his care weighing on his conscience. Also included is a monster movie spoof, a collaboration with Mike Mignola where Goon and Hellboy enter into a dark and bizarre Wonderland type tale, and rounding out the book with, why not, a vampire story. The book is as good as the others preceding it with...

(4,4 of 5 for super fun (except Frank Darabont superlong foreword) comics and Hellboy crossover)Well, people can have an opinion on Eric Powell as a person, but you can't deny he's kind of comics genius. The stories, the fun and thrill inside, the art, the work with panels, everything. And Goon is his masterpiece. I recently realized it resembles me the Chew - it is a similar wacky, funny, thrilling (and in the case of Chew it even hits right into feelings), original, very catching and greatly a...

This is my favorite Goon graphic yet. The crossover issue with Hellboy was about as perfect as a crossover can be, and the way they worked in both Powell's and Mignola's distinctive art styles was just right. Four stand alone issues in the set which is different because graphics are usually packaged with story lines but I really loved the stand alone issues in this collection. Let's face it, I love The Goon but you really not need multi-issue arches for the character, a good monster brawl for a

Zombies and Film Noir, and hugely funny combo

Ah Goon, what a romp. And that cross-over issue, what a treat!

The Hellboy crossover really won me over. I loved seeing Hellboy in a more colorful universe. He stuck out like a sore thumb but still seemed like he somehow belonged there. Also floating communist octopuses is always a golden ticket to my heart.

The good:-Great humour.-There are some twists in the plot. I like a lot how characters from previous volumes return in this one and you can know more from them.-The Vampire story at the end of this volume is simply gorgeous. This will break your heart.-The Eisner joke is pretty good. At the time this came out, this would've been polemic.The bad:-The plots are sometimes too simple.-I expected more from the Hellboy/Goon crossover and instead I got a very simple story.

In this volume, Powell explores the depths of the Goon's emotions as well as the heights of humor with his take on the old monster movie classics. The end of Buzzard is heart-wrenching, and the destruction of the vampire succubus is definitely bittersweet. Powell also leaves a comic response to his Eisner Award and its review committee, which is hilarious.

This was a fantastic rebound for me after the last volume. There were some stories in here that called back to older volumes and it was nice to see that even if these volumes aren't going to be super linear, they are at least connecting characters. HELLBOY makes a cross-over appearance here and it's pretty great for both characters. The Buzzard is back and has an oddly sad, compelling tale that was really interesting. I hope it's setting up more for down the road because I've really enjoyed the

This volume was a little uneven. I didn't care for the finale of the Buzzard's story - thought it was a bit too heavy - and the Hellboy/Goon crossover was just OK. On the other hand, Lagarto Hombre was hilarious. And of course "The Vampire Dame Had to Die!" was awesome because, well, classic vamp movies and this series are both awesome. Still hooked!

I am not the kind of person that is into books with short plots and a ton of mini-stories. However, if you are, these books are great and loads of fun. Each one has 2-4 tales of The Goon and his sidekick, battling some random, bizarre monster, trying to save their town. The graphics are absolutely wonderful and the plots are filled with Mafia-style one-liners, brawls, and the Goon always prevailing against his evil idiot arch nemesis, The Priest.This book and the last finally begin to unveil som...

This volume reads disjointed as compared to the first 3 volumes. While Powell still has humor and wit throughout its just bogged down by a let down of a Buzzard story and crossover with Hellboy. The final two stories start off on the right path though with the usual Goon greatness making the book half bad and half good.

Read second time. Seeing Hellboy and Goon together was charming but predictable.

If you don't actually laugh out loud with these glorious pages then you need to get your funny bone checked!

The hellboy crossover was the best. It cracked me up. Awesome book.

Fantastic art underscores this unusual, cool and funny graphic novel.

Fantastic art and a great laugh!
