    Poop Potato?...

    I don't think I've ever read a comic this fast in my entire life. It took less than three minutes. I was able to.
    read it multiple times very quickly and it was pretty fun.

    If you like your comics with little words, gloomy art, really cute girls, and occasionally peppered with a laugh I'm sure you'd enjoy this. It's pretty typical "Goon" material so if you're not a fan of the Goon I really doubt you'll care for this. This book definitely has it's audience and from what I've found people either love it or hate it.
    I've been digging how Powell approaches the art for this book now. For me everything is a mini painted masterpiece. During this series last major storyline Powell had some assistance from colorist Dave Stewart which added a remarkably new level of beauty to the art. I feel like Powell took some pointers from Stewart because the art in this issue felt more saturated and the little color that Powell does use is put to great effect much like how Frank Miller uses his colors.
    On a side note:
    THE COVER WAS SO GOD FKING STUPID THAT I ALMOST REFUSED TO BUY THE COMIC ON GENERAL PRINCIPLE. Having a retard on the cover of your comic screaming "Poop   Potato!" is not funny to me. In fact it's just not funny to anyone. Powell has shown himself to be funny in almost every single issue so I have no clue why he chose to do something so fking unfunny. He also pulled some really unfunny crap with his Dethklok/Goon crossover. My impression is that he just wanted to see what he could get away with… Then I remember he wrote "Satan's Sodomy Baby" and I know he doesn't need to "try" doing anything. Powell CAN do anything. So I don't know why he does some blatantly unfunny bullshit like this. I've met Powell a few times and he's actually a really quiet guy… Then he started drinking and became obnoxious. That was at the San Diego Comic Con a few years back.
    Dwight and Mia on the other hand… Those two are True Blue. I'll love those two until I'm dead and cold in the ground. I've had some amazing times with both of them and I miss Dwight Albatross doing the letter call. Whatever. Sad times
