Comic Book Podcast Episode 15: The Goon and The Killer

A thematic episode with a subliminal message about David Fincher

In this week’s comic book podcast, we’re back to the normal routine with no more weddings planned. Game faces are back on and we’re tackling The Goon. Eric Powell’s decade-spanning series that chronicles the the exploits of, well, The Goon and just a complete mess of characters that address the hard hitting issues of the day, such as zombie priests, talking zombies, mad metal scientists and their 50’s robots, undead eating the dead, and just trying to earn an honest living by beating people up for protection money.

We go all European with our single issue and review the French book, The Killer by writer Matz (single names are so dark and mysterious) and artist Luc Jacamon. We found out that we were cheating a little bit, because Archaia broke each original book into two issues for release here, but we said “One Issue” and we mean it! Do we like it as much as David Fincher evidently does?
