Product DescriptionThe Goon and Franky have been best friends ever since they was tykes. Find out how the two little ankle-biters became best pals and how they muscled their way into the rackets of big-time crime-boss, Labrazio - who, incidentally, nobody's seen in a while. This trip down memory lane ain't gonna be no joyride, neither. Franky and the Goon are going to have to take on a horde of zombies, an army of hoboes, a couple of grave robbin' freaks, a guy with a gold head and his killer robot, a pie-crazed skunk ape, one homely, man-crazy sea hag, and a whole lot of other things that smell just as bad, if not worse. Pick up a copy, because those uptown rich people may have the cops and their G-men, but down here all we got is the Goon!

I am not a comic book expert by any means. My apetites tend towards those works with zombies in them, at least in recent years.

Rating: - One of the best comics in the past 10 years
I recommend The Goon to ANYONE that likes any type of comic genre. Its a fresh fell and its unlike anything you've read before. It really blew me away, extremely recommended and a MUST BUY.
Rating: - A speed bump to an otherwise great series.
This second volume of The Goon does not live up to the standards of the first. It is a compilation set where you do not have one continuous running adventure, and that is not all bad. However, the stories just weren't as good to me. There were bright points, but for the most part I feel the series took a step back in these issues. Don't get me wrong I will still continue to purchase the series, but this was not my favorite, and I can't give it any more than an average review.
