The 13 Greatest Hits (and Stabbings, and Gunshots...) of THE GOON

If you're not familiar with the Goon, the original premise of the series was that he was a thuggish mob enforcer who was secretly the head of the family, having killed the man he claimed to work for by beating him to death with a rock when the Goon was only a kid.
