I used to be into comics on a pretty regular basis, but not so much any more.....although I did stumble across one that is so much fun, I thought I'd share. Its called 'THE GOON' and is put out by Dark Horse Comics. www.thegoon.com/home.htmlIt is hard to explain exactly what the Goon is. The main character is just a big, mean, thug (with a heart of gold). It is drawn so wonderfully nostalgic, that I could just look at the art, but that would be missing the wonderful stories. It is definately a 'retro' type 30's to 40's setting, with a lot of humor, and a great dose of 'lovecraftian' type horror mixed in. I know the comic book store I check out once in a while had an 'trial Goon' comic for only .25 cents (just like they used to cost) and that is what hooked me. I have since gotten 3 'compilation' graphic novels that reprints the first 15 or so issues.....it is just fantastic. Check it out if you feel so inclined!

Looks very interesting, I may have to have a good look out for that.
