Can someone explain the acclaim for this comic? I read the first 2 volumes, and I thought they were fine, not bad at all, but I'm not seeing how this is an Eisner-winning one-of-the-best comics ever. The art is fine, not spectacular but serves its purpose. The plots are simple and fun, usually contained to a single issue, which is nice, but otherwise there's nothing in the script that makes me go "wow, what incredible writing." It's trying to be funny at almost all times but none of the jokes make me laugh. It's kind of a corny comic to be honest.

What's the deal?

Have you read Chinatown, op? If you have and you still don't feel it, then it's just not your cup of tea. I like Goon and I haven't storytimed in a while and some of the people here enjoy it so I'm doing it for them.

I'm afraid this might just be the case. Oh well. I really wanted to love it. Anyway I cede my throne, the thread is yours.

I’m waiting for the movie. I hope Netflix funds it.

Oh, come on now... Which one? There are at least 3 instances like that.

Franky really gets a chance to shine here. I'm sure even in universe everyone see's him as the guy who hides behind Goon. Lot of great scenes of Franky getting Goons back especially not even bringing it up.

>Bros before hoes

im with you on this, i thought it wasnt anything special until it went all in with the flashback story and the goon breaking down, after that i was really enjoying it

Damn, MilSurpDude always providing the good storytime. Gonna watch Master and Commander next time and tipple a brandy just for you.

Thanks for the story time. Never read Goon before but I thought this was really nice.

Nice job.
Much appreciated and well worth the read.

One thing I've always wondered. Was he actually a dragon God or just a shape shifter

regularly scripting 1 issue stories that are actually satisfying is difficult enough, but also illustrating them?

see this is why you're a dumbass.

That's right.
It's not fucking funny.
Do you think it's fucking funny?
Like HaHa?
Is this fucking funny to you?

Do you think it's fucking funny?

You ok?

It's not funny, bro.
Not at all.

>The art is fine, not spectacular but serves its purpose
I stopped reading right there. Eric Powell is quite a step above your average comic book artist.

It's one of those few comics that can do both humor and drama fairly well and it's a great read to see this macabre funny book morph into a far more serious, gritty story.

Dragons tend to be shapeshifters.
