An ongoing, episodic "prose comic" from which the pictures are summoned by the magic of words, Goon Squad is set in an alternate 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: Year One offers three action-packed volumes in a single collection.

The task is too dangerous to venture upon alone, so he must seek assistance - comrades for the coming travails.

To listen to them now is to listen to them as brand-new stories of experience, strength, and hope.
