Another fantastic Goon volume. I think Eric Powell has found the best way to keep this series alive, just doing self-contained volumes every few years. This book does a great job of incorporating characters from all the past books without feeling like a greatest hits remix.
In the back he says that no one seemed excited about some of the cool surprises from the past volumes (The boy with the duck reappearance). Speculating that fans either don't care or only read The Goon for the pretty pictures.

A good Goon story. I hope we keep getting these every couple years. This one is a good mix of drama and wacky gallows humor, with more ties to the old stories than the previous series had. The best part was the strong introduction scene of a new character in chapter 1 - Eric Powell can write damn good characters and dialog when he wants to. It was good enough that I almost accepted it when it turned out to be a lead-in to the old trope.
