Synopsis

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 3: Old Enemies is composed of: “Life during Wartime,” “Red Wolf, Red Wolf, Does Whatever a Red Wolf Can,” “Shadow of the Vivisector,” “The Man from Switzerland,” and “The End of the Year Show,” as well as an introduction read by the author.

Wonderful continuation of the story. There are some conclusions to the adventures in this installment, and sweet hints of more adventures to come. I'm hoping he writes more of these stories.......more

Goodreads review by Dale on September 18, 2024

Book 71/101 for 2024. On the one hand this was an enjoyable collection, if a bit scattered. But on the other hand it's infuriating because it reads like the middle of a long run of superhero comics, deepening some mysteries, paying off others, setting up new directions for things to go ... and that'......more

Goodreads review by Eric on February 18, 2021

This is my favorite of the Goon Squad volumes so far. Of course, without reading the others, this one won't make much sense. Still, I had quite a hard time sitting still while reading this book. So much excitement! And gee whiz, what a cliffhanger! I hope there's more Goon Squad where this came from......more
