• Eric Heater kicks off the first part of a two-part interview with cartoonist Eric Powell, who discusses the convention circuit, trying to explain The Goon, and the evolution of his creation: "The art is always changing and evolving, because I love playing with the medium and experimenting. And the stories go anywhere from completely absurd to, with Chinatown, overly dramatic and serious. I don’t plan on changing that. If I want to do Goon fighting giant robots, I’m gonna do that. If I want to do a serious love story, I’ll do that. I’m going to do whatever I want to do, and if people like it, that’s awesome." [The Daily Cross Hatch]
