DARK HORSE COMICS FIRST LOOKS
FIRST LOOK: THE GOON #14
The Goon #14 will arrive in stores on Wednesday from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is by Eric Powell.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"It's well known that a nameless man known to some as the Zombie Priest came to the Goon's burg to build a gang from the dead. But why? Who is he? Where did he come from? What are the origins of his mysterious power? Why has he set loose a plague of zombies? Could it be from emotional problems? Was he breastfed for too long? Was he potty trained too quickly? Would he be a nicer fella if a nice lady friend baked him a cake? All this and more revealed in this startling tell-all issue."
The Goon #14 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.

Apocalypse Nerd #2 will arrive in stores on Oct. 5 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is by Peter Bagge.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"In this issue, our two hapless heroes, the high strung Perry and the gruff Gordo, are still stuck way out in the woods trying to fend for themselves. Eventually, Perry decides he can't take it anymore and heads back towards civilization (or what's left of it) and takes his chances there instead. Will he go? Should he go? Is he doomed either way? Also in this issue: more amusing warts-and-all anecdotes about our beloved Founding Fathers!"
Apocalypse Nerd #2 will be 32 black-and-white pages and will cost $2.99.

FIRST LOOK: STAR WARS: EMPIRE #36
Star Wars: Empire #36 will arrive in stores on Oct. 5 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is written by Welles Hartley, with art by Davide Fabbri and a cover by David Michael Beck.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"Devotion to duty has put Imperial Lieutenant Janek Sunber once more on the front lines. First as part of an intense ground battle, where the last of a planet's freedom fighters are desperately holding on, then as a glorified prison guard at an Imperial base where prisoners are put to work for the benefit of the Empire. It's not the career Sunber imagined he'd have in the Imperial Infantry, but a Rebel surprise attack on the base may give Sunber another chance to distinguish himself--or die trying!"
Star Wars: Empire #36 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
