Goon

Eric Powell’s great horror comic THE GOON is coming to some sort of life, thanks to producer David Fincher and a whole lot of computer animation.

AICN got the first snazzy hi-res images from the project (click above for better and more), which seems to perfectly capture the look and tone of the series (see below). The story revolves around a zombie-punching, monster-fighting mob enforcer and his mouthy sidekick, and their misadventures in a bizarre creature-filled town.

The CG is handled by animation/FX house Blur Studio, who’ve done work for various videogames, commercials and television projects — Fincher worked with them (and frequent collaborator Brad Pitt) on a Softbank ad.
