He knifed the vampire in the eye even though the vampire was trying to help him?

What a great catchphrase. Been a while since I've read any of The Goon (have the first 2 trades, must rectify that soon) but that bit always made me laugh.

By the way, if you don't cover Machine Man's "fleshy ones" catchphrase from NextWave, I will be very disappointed .

Although that's more of a comment really isn't it....

My favorite Goon moment was when he was dumped into a pit full of mutants as a form of torture, but when they checkod on him later, he was leading them in a Johnny Cash sing-a-long.

I always find my self wanting to like The Goon a bit more than I actually do. Much like Hellboy and Madman

Nice one! After the first two, I was kinda expecting "Sweet Christmas!" but by golly, you certainly surprised me with this one.

I picked up The Goon: Black and White on a whim when my LCS was having a sale. Funny stuff. I'll probably pick up some more collections/GNs of it at some point.

Just as good as "Knife to the eye!" is the vampire's response. 'Cuz, yeah, I know that's how I'd respond.

Ah, the Goon! Gotta love him (I sure do...and if I don't, he breaks my cat's kneecaps).

But I must confess, I recall that character is actually a sissy vampire, not a zombie. He just looks like one after they burned the crap out of him.

Haha, classic. That series is still great today.

And don't forget that Goon himself frequently grumbles, "Aw, fer Christ."

My favorite comics series of the past few years.
