I think once the world discovers this Chimney Boy character and he becomes a phenomenon you're going to owe 9 anonymous voters an apology. |

and Franky try their best to give their own title The Goon a facelift it needs to compete. Let’s see we have a farce orgin of the Goon with with nodes to Superman and Thor. Is there a Rule book of Superhero Code of Conduct which must be reference multiple times? Check. Slam against media attention about every little mundane news that is child feed by the Big-Two? Check. Is there a gag involving merchandising of characters and variant covers? Check and check. Last but not least does the main character reveals himself as gay and repeatedly comes back from the dead to round the whole issue off? * sigh * check and check. Does Franky making smart ass remarks during each scene? Check, check and check. Is Eric Powell trying too hard to make this farce a farce? Very much so. Do I think that is his point of this farce? Yep. While this was a pause in the current tale of The Goon Powell does quick one page gags breaking down all the faults of modern superhero comics, though there is no reference to a cross-over or big event which is more of a telling tale of the mentality of the Big- Two. The jokes were force and very funny but Powell does a fine job getting his point across for each gag. I question if this book needed to be ever written? Powell is well known and respected in the comic industry and no someone who over vocal of the big two unlike other independent creations. He is taking a swipe that at the company which was very harmless and unnecessary because in most cases in his gags he was preaching to the choir and to do this he interrupted his own stories to tell this farce. At the end of the day, I’ll have read the issue but walked away with the internet feeling of-- meh. I look forward to Eric getting back to his creations of the Goon and Franky in their regularly defined world. 5 / 10 |
