The Goon Once Upon A Hard Time #4 (2015)

"The secret ingredient is ...love?!?" There are probably going to be people who feel let down by the final issue of Once Upon A Hard Time. They're wrong, and must not have been reading closely over such major stories as Chinatown and An Occasion of Revenge. Eric Powell has always used love-either the lack of it, the abuse of it, the need for it- as the thing lifting the Goon up or beating him down. Written like someone who's only had heartbreak, drawn like someone who's trying to get God's attention, Eric Powell puts a fairly definitive stamp on this particular chapter of his creation. Look for major changes in the Goon's life the next time we see him.
