Goon Squad #1: The New Girl

An ongoing, episodic ¿prose comic¿ from which the pictures are summoned by the magic of words, Goon Squad is set in a 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, Volume 1: Special Talents is composed of six tales: ¿The New Girl,¿ ¿Nightclubbing,¿ ¿By the Water, by the Grave,¿ ¿Changes,¿ ¿No-No Dojo,¿ and ¿Exterminating Angel,¿ as well as an introduction read by the author.
