Some I liked, some I didn't. When you get a mixed bag like this, you take what you can from it.

A fun anthology. A lot of these are just good Goon comedic stories, though some fall flat. That said...Thomas Lennon should be the only one allowed to write the Goon if Powell ever needs a break. But yeah, it's really funny.

The Goon is even weirder than I thought. Even by the standards of monster mash and zombie contemporary society, it was still weirder. And it was super fun. It was wacky and goofy while still having some major roots in old school b-pulp. It's noir for the person who doesn't care that much about noir and a good joke for anyone who does. Obviously, it's a dirty joke with violence, but, then again, who doesn't like seeing cartoon zombies getting their heads kicked in?
