The Goon #5 (Albatross 2019): Monstrous Effects and Shadowy Foes

The Goon #5, published by Albatross Funnybooks in 2019, finds Lonely Street reeling from a lethal new threat. While The Goon attempts to handle the rival gangs that moved in during his absence, he discovers the locals have taken to a "mind-blowing" new drink called Beezlebooze. This issue marks a high point in the "Witch’s Brew" story arc, blending gritty action with the dark, supernatural humor that defined Eric Powell’s legendary return to the characters.
