Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #303
The Goon: Once Upon a Hard Time #1 (of 4) — Writer/Artist: Eric Powell Powell toggles between two modes for this title: edgy, Harvey Kurtzman-like slapstick, and grim, dark-as-night horror. The grim, in ascendance during the last mini-series, reaches full force here, as a drunken, grieving and dangerous Goon kills a couple of people (who deserve it), rips an arm off one of his friends (who doesn’t, although he has a couple of extra to spare), and spirals down into a revengeful, suicidal haze.

She-Hulk #5 — Writer: Charles Soule; Art: Ron Wimberly Captain Marvel #4 — Writer: Kelly Sue Deconnick; Art: David Lopez Lumberjanes #3 — Writers: Noelle Stevenson and Grace Ellis; Art: Brook Allen Bee and Puppycat #2 — Writers: Natasha Allegri and Garrett Jackson; Art: Natasha Allegri Four comics this week starring women — two superhero and two cartoony/kid-oriented.
