The Goon #42

This moody, painterly cover from Blur Studio gives The Goon #42 a noir-thriller atmosphere that feels a cut above — the Goon himself looms large in shadow, flat cap pulled low, leveling a pistol directly at the viewer with the kind of quiet menace that suggests he's done this before. It's a striking, almost cinematic image that sets the tone for Part 2 of "The Bog Lurk That Lurked like a Thing! A Bad Thing!" — a title that reminds you this series never takes itself too seriously even when it looks this cool. With Eric Powell joined by Tom Sniegoski on writing duties, fans of Dark Horse's roughest, most entertaining bruiser are in for a satisfying read.
