Goon Squad #5

A Star in Strange Ways

Rate this book
It is a city of fear. The entity known as the Exterminating Angel roams freely, spreading fear wherever it goes. Even the police Special Talents Unit known as the GOON SQUAD has proved helpless in the face of the supernatural terror. Bloodied but unbowed, the Squad plan their next move and try to penetrate the mystery of the entity's origin. Meanwhile, they are not alone in wishing the city to be freed from the Exterminating Angel. An old adversary is making his own plans, but where they and the Squad's intersect, will only the Angel rise triumphant?


GOON SQUAD is a "prose comic," an ongoing episodic story that unfolds in handy monthly issues. The story of the EXTERMINATING ANGEL began in GOON SQUAD #3.

Still enjoying this series! The characters are becoming multi-dimensional, and their interactions are becoming more complex. Also, the storyline is interesting. I'll definitely continue with this series.
