Powell has announced that a new The Goon comic is coming out in 2019. The book
will come out from Powell’s publishing company, Albatross Funnybooks. It will be
the first original Goon story since the character appeared in the Theatre
Bizarre Halloween one-shot from Dark Horse in 2015. The new comic will celebrate
the 20th anniversary of the series with a national signing tour and limited
edition tie-ins that will include special tiki glasses. According to Powell,
“The fact that we feel confident bringing the full library of my flagship title
over to Albatross going into our third year of expansion fills me with
excitement and a new enthusiastic energy for what’s to come. I’m returning to
the roots of the series with a heavy emphasis on the weird, twisted humor the
book has been known for. The world around us is dark enough right now. I want to
make readers laugh and forget their troubles for a little bit.” The revival will
have major names work on stories in early 2019. |
