"As the rogue's gallery of the comic unite to battle the hero, the readers get brilliant storytelling that elevate the villain conglomerate motif above the clich that it has become. I don't know how Paulsey's reanimated corpse will play into the story, but that mystery drives me to find out.

“The Goon is simultaneously hilarious while tragic, retro but innovative, and novel yet recognizable
