The big news is \u2013 It\u2019s Goon Week! I updated my Rec row with all Eric Powell to mark the occasion of the return of The Goon for the 25th anniversary. That means my Goon tattoo is fifteen years old now, and it\u2019s probably time for another one. Skip to the end of the email to get the scoop on the new Goon mini-series, and stop in the shop and I\u2019ll recommend a Powell book for you! There are even ones for kids!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One gets the luck of the draw with random powers; one makes her own luck. Jackpot and Black Cat don\u2019t have much in common, besides a certain ex, but they\u2019ve worked together to pull off a heist against Tombstone, and to defend New York against the demons of Limbo. MJ hasn\u2019t seen much of Felicia since then, but now the women are teaming up against a blackmailer in Celeste Bronfman and Emilio Laiso\u2019s new limited series. A new app is forcing people to do its bidding by threatening loved ones, and Black Cat is one of the victims. When Jackpot tries to help her, she becomes the next target. Can the duo figure out who is behind the threats before it\u2019s too late? It may be a classic Spider-Man villain\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

But none of those other books matter this week, because Goon is back! To celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Goon, Eric Powell has a brand-new four issue mini-series!

All the humor and violence you\u2019ve come to expect, plus sex and drugs! And a new threat! The kid with the duck? What sort of evil is he trying to unleash? Good thing he picked up the Zombie Priest\u2019s hat off the street! Jump in here, or pick up one of the trades! Or do both!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
