GOON #34 GETS SPARKLING REVIEWS!
Fangoria
MTV
Comics Alliance
"With its beautiful art and stories that blend genuine tragedy, disturbing horror and the physical comedy that comes from having a main character who makes a habit of punching out street-walking mules, Eric Powell's The Goon is hands down one of my favorite comics on the stands"
Seattle PI
"Every single panel in this book and every single line of dialogue was pitch perfect, even the short opening vignette where writer Eric Powell takes the utter piss out of what goes for modern-day vampires."
Player Affinity
"This story is hilarious and full of satire. The Sparkly Vamp fight isn't even the funniest part of the story as the drunken Goon really takes the cake. Eric Powell does a great job of knowing when enough is enough and really pushes through both tales at a perfect pace. The great thing about the issue is that you don't need to be a long time reader of the series to enjoy the issue."
IGN
"Truly well-written humor in comics has been sorely missed in recent years, but Eric Powell is, thankfully, back with the answer. This issue is definitely light on plot and implication, but it really hits the spot for those of us who have been thirsting for some quality levity in our pull lists. Longtime fans will not be disappointed, and newcomers will find this issue an easy place to join the party."
ScienceFiction.com
"The best thing I can say about 'The Goon' issue 34; even though I got a PDF preview, when I head to my favorite comic book shop (Queen City Comics, in case you were curious) I'm still going to buy this issue. That's right, it is that good. So good that I'm willing to shell out the $3.50 to have the physical copy."
Comic Vine
"My first venture into the world of The Goon was awesome. The art is amazing, the writing is hilarious, and the only real problem I have with the book is that it doesn't come out on a regular basis. Maybe it's just too awesome to be released on a monthly basis. Yeah, that makes sense. Obviously, I highly recommend this book to anyone. It's a ton of fun and you really don't need to know anything about the series before reading. Sure, you may not know some of the characters, but you'll forget about that by the end of page one."
Broken Frontier
"Gorgeously illustrated and featuring a bouncy, fast-paced script, The Goon #34 provides a great introduction to Powell's dark, bizarre vision of the classic comic strips many of us grew up reading every Sunday morning. Infused with craft, imagination, and irreverent humor, The Goon is a timeless modern classic I plan on catching up with during the long, dog days of summer."
Crave Online
"...I cracked open The Goon #34 and I am so glad I did. I have no idea if the other Goon stories are this good, but issue 34 knocked it out of the park for me. Powell's world is so wonderfully creepy, so completely surreal and all encompassing that you dissolve into it and accept whatever's happening as gospel. There's no reality except what Powell creates, and the combination of his art and storytelling is comic synergy is very compelling."
iFanboy
"Over two years ago, I read issue #32 of the title on a whim, and enjoyed it so much I asked my store clerk to hold future issues for me. Over two years later, I've gotten my second issue of the title and I love it as much as I ever did. It's a comic book and it's really fucking funny. You would think more comic books would be really fucking funny, but you would be wrong"
