MTV has revealed the tease “trailer” for footage that will be shown at Comic-Con!
Based on the cult comic from Dark Horse Entertainment, created by Eric Powell in 1999, the comic follows the adventures of a muscle-bound brawler who claims to be the primary enforcer for a feared mobster. The stories have a paranormal and comedic edge to them and concern ghosts, zombies, mad scientists and “skunk apes.”
My exposure to “The Goon” is pretty limited, but from this clip the animation looks amazing to me. They really captured the artistic style of the comic, but I’ll leave it up to you Goon fans to debate with the “feel” of the comic is there in this short teaser!
The screenplay for ‘The Goon’ is by Eric Powell and stars the voice of Paul Giamatti as Frankie. No release date has been set.
