The Goon Is Going to Beat the Hell Out of Dethklok

The Goon Is Going to Beat the Hell Out of Dethklok

By March 18, 2009 Cartoons, Comics 0 Comment


Oh, it’s true. As MTV’s Splashpage reported, the metalest band in cartoon-dom will star in a Goon comic from Dark Horse due in July, appropriately titled Dethklok Vs. the Goon. Since the members of Dethklok are all borderline retarded, I feel pretty good about the Goon’s odds. Still, I’m not sure how I feel about this over all. I don’t see the two worlds meshing particularly well, but maybe I’m just a bitter nerd ( a long shot, I know). Plus, the faux-Borat viceover in the promo video is really annoying. Does anyone in Dethklok really talk like that? Have I blocked that out entirely?
