David Fincher Takes 'The Goon' To Kickstarter, Asks "Does Hollywood Know Better Than You?"
For the past few years we've watched as producer David Fincher, cartoonist Eric Powell, and Blur Animation Studio have worked to make an animated feature film based on Powell's comic The Goon.

Watch The 2009 Comic Con Footage From David Fincher-Produced 'The Goon'
Good things come to those who wait; sometimes we just have to wait a very long time. Fans of Eric Powell's supernatural head-busting comic series The Goon may recall my enthusiasm for the Comic Con panel held for the comic in 2009.

Comic Con: The Goon Panel Impressions And Footage
Last year's panel for The Goon, Eric Powell's odd comic book series about two friends who (to grossly over-simplify) live in a city infested by a plague of zombies, was unbridled insanity.

Comic-Con: Voices Of Clancy Brown And Paul Giamatti In The Goon; No Director Announced
OK, being 100% honest, the panel for The Goon, based on Eric Powell's comics (he's also scripting) and produced by David Fincher, may be the best panel I've ever seen at Comic Con.
