The Goon: Fancy Pants Edition Vol. 2: The Rise And Fall Of The Diabolical Dr. Alloy
Eric Powell
Dark Horse Books
$24.95 US (Hardcover)
**** (out of five)

He’s attacked the Goon with giant, laser-wielding robots, fire-breathing giant lizard monsters and more and yet Dr. Hieronymous Alloy always comes out looking like a million bucks.
Granted, his entire body is covered with gold as the result of an alchemy experiment gone wrong, but still.
Dr. Alloy has definitely become one of the most interesting enemies for the Goon, the enforcer of the Labrazio crime family and self-proclaimed protector of the community from zombie, monsters and other nasty things.
Now all of the Goon’s wild and darkly humourous conflicts with this maddest of scientists — including the classic battle that sees the hero transformed into a King Kong-esque monster to battle a rogue Godzilla-esque lizard — are available in one place as the deluxe, limited edition hardcover Fancy Pants edition gets a second volume.
Creator Eric Powell’s wild and wacky work never looked so good.
