Goon Squad, Vol. 1

An ongoing, episodic 'prose comic' from which the pictures are summoned by the magic of words, Goon Squad is set in a version of modern-day Manchester. Its biggest divergence from the real city is that it-along with most other large urban centers-has a team of superheroes to protect it against unusual threats with which the conventional forces of law and order would have problems.Goon Squad, Volume 1: Special Talents is composed of six tales: 'The New Girl,' 'Nightclubbing,' 'By the Water, by the Grave,' 'Changes,' 'No-No Dojo,' and 'Exterminating Angel,' as well as an introduction read by the author.
