Once Upon A Hard Time, The Goon Had A Girlfriend
Dec 10, 2014
If you’re big on The Goon, then you were swigging back the good beer this year as Eric Powell celebrated 15 years of misadventures for his flagship character. It’s been a fun ride, to say the least. Which is exactly why Eric Powell has decided to turn over the apple cart, and stomp on the fruit to leave everyone with sticky feet as they leave the room. Why should anyone be having a good time when this is the Goon! Life is a about pain! Happiness is limited to one cold beer a night!
That message gets through loud and clear on The Goon: Once Upon A Hard Time (DEC140051), as rumors have it that this is a mini-series which will leave people depressed. Maybe even sanded faceless. Major consequences are in store for the Goon and his supporting cast because, again, why should anyone be happy in the Goon universe? The story takes place after the events of “Occasion For Revenge,” and The Goon and Ramona just hooked up. It’s a first for both characters, as they both seem to have finally found each other as soul mates.
So is this relationship too good to be true? If something’s beautiful, doesn’t it make tasting the pain of tragedy all the more sweeter?
Too many questions. And Powell isn’t talking! So we’ll all just have to wait it out.
The Goon: Once Upon A Hard Time (DEC140051) is in comic shops February 4th!
