Resumen del Editor
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:
Goon Squad, Vol. 1: Special Talents
- "The New Girl"
- "Nightclubbing"
- "By the Water, by the Grave"
- "Changes"
- "No-No Dojo"
- "Exterminating Angel"
Goon Squad, Vol. 2: Without Sin
- "A Star in Strange Ways"
- "Holy Fool"
- "Dead Man Tells Tale"
- "A Brief History of the Goon Squad"
- "Tale of Terror"
- "Pomona Island"
Goon Squad, Vol. 3: Old Enemies
- "Life During Wartime"
- "Red Wolf, Red Wolf, Does Whatever a Red Wolf Can"
- "Shadow of the Vivisector"
- "The Man from Switzerland"
- "The End of the Year Show"

Historia
Agent Isaac Steele has problems. He spends all his splibs on drink and drugs. He has some deep-seated and very much unresolved issues with his parents. And his robotic partner at Greatest Britain’s Department of Clarification, Dr Timothy Stephens, is ruled more by his heart than his hard drive. But all these issues take a back seat when Isaac stumbles upon a case involving the most sensitive information in the cosmos - a Never File, inaccessible to all except those with the highest clearance. He is expressly forbidden to involve himself. So naturally he does.

Owen Deathstalker, last of the infamous warrior Clan, always considered himself more of a writer than a fighter, preferring his history books to making any actual history with a sword. But books won't protect him from Her Imperial Majesty Lionstone XIV, who just outlawed and condemned Owen to death, without any explanation, reason, or warning. No wonder she's called the Iron Bitch. Now, on the run from Imperial starcruisers, shady mercenaries, and just about everyone else in the Empire, Owen's options are limited.

When he was 19, James Stark was considered to be one of the greatest natural magicians, a reputation that got him demon-snatched and sent downtown - to Hell - where he survived as a gladiator, a sideshow freak entertaining Satan's fallen angels. That was 11 years ago. Now, the hitman who goes only by Stark has escaped and is back in L.A. Armed with a fortune-telling coin, a black bone knife, and an infernal key, Stark is determined to destroy the magic circle.

Timothy Walter Bolton - better known as Timmy - has spent most of his life as a necromancer. When he isn't terrorising his enemies, he's plotting inside his castle, which is built on top of lightless chasms filled with nameless horrors and beings of a generally malevolent and megalomaniacal nature. But after one of his latest creations, a zombie hydra-dragon-bear, tries to eat him, he decides that maybe it's time to find a new, less dangerous, career.

The Alliance has been fighting the Syndics for a century—and losing badly. Now its fleet is crippled and stranded in enemy territory. Their only hope is a man who’s emerged from a century-long hibernation to find he has been heroically idealized beyond belief… Captain John “Black Jack” Geary’s legendary exploits are known to every schoolchild. Revered for his heroic “last stand” in the early days of the war, he was presumed dead. But a century later, Geary miraculously returns from survival hibernation.

I hated the music!
Seriously, I almost ditched the whole thing because the interlude music is so distractingly needless and terrible. I didn’t love the female reader’s version of Ian. The higher register made him sound whiny, crass, and just constantly abrupt.
I really enjoyed the story itself, but have to say again, why the hell did they use the reject “Saved by the Bell” intro music. Really bad choice. Especially when the chapter ended on something poignant or deep. Ruined the effect immediately.

Better than expected!
This was a pretty fun series. I read the three first books and want more.
I disagree with the accent complaints, I think the narrator was consistent and read with great inflection and enthusiasm.
I enjoyed the musical interludes and sound effects. They gave the story more grit and a film noir type of feel to it.

A fantastic story of human heroes
I downloaded this book as it was included and wanted something to listen to and must honestly say that I have greatly enjoyed the tales of these heroes and look forward to more adventures from them.

Good, but hurt by some poor production choices
The narration was all great, but the chapter break music was an unpleasant interruption every time.
The writing was often more rich than I expected for what otherwise felt like YA pulp.

Manchester's Premiere Super Team
I like the Goon Squad series and I hope to see more of it. I like the characters, I like the stories, especially the last one, and I hope Howard continues with it. My one problem is that the narrator wasn't very good when it came to the male voices in the stories. I like her Nadia, but her voices of Ian and Gilbert became grating to me. Especially Ian. I hope that the next stories have more varied narration. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes superheroes.

Good stories GREAT voice acting meh sound effects
Anything Jonathan L. Howard writes I will buy/ read/ listen and these stories about a small team of "talents" (i.e. superheroes/ individuals with significantly enhanced abilities) and the world around them are charming, enjoyable and while not on the level of Johannes Cabal or Carter & Lovecraft series I think are still worth your time and money. Voice acting is top notch. I liked the IDEA of including sound effects to further the experience but I found them clumsily implemented (the narrator describes the sound and then you hear the sound). In this case either leave the sounds out (they're adequate, not amazing) or at least have them occur while they're being described instead of immediately after being described. Very clumsy.
POSSIBLY suitable for advanced/ mature YA fiction readers (the characters are in their 20s and older) but you'd have to make that call. Howard does have the YA novel/ series Katya but I haven't read that so I can't compare.

Interesting story with audio embellishments
I liked the blending of narration and background sounds/noises... It was like an old radio play. Stefan Rudnicki's performance as the villain was particularly enjoyable. The only thing I didn't enjoy (hence the 1 star ding) was the obnoxious musical riff at the end of every book/story. It got tiresome after the first one.
