  Fortress of Solitude - Byron Hendricks

  Mar 04, 2014

  Goof #1 is not a bad read, you can relate to Nick. Readers will be laughing and, depending on your sense of humour, the final scene could be a make or break the comic for you. Goof has endless possibilities and as long as good jokes are placed into the issues I am sure people will enjoy this digital only read. The average Joe can relate to this protagonist well and this makes for a good strong-point for this title. Lets hope the issues to follow can capitalise on this. Read Full Review

  Following The Nerd - Jake Tanner

  Feb 28, 2014

  This is definitely a book to look out for! You can find the New World Comics app on iTunes now! The link is here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/new-worlds-comics/id700320110. Aside from a few missteps, Goof is a hilarious, mature reader's only book that has a definite charm to it. I love that it takes a new look at the story of the modern day superhero, including a hilarious look inside his origin and where Captain Gorgeous's goofy name came from! While it isn't perfect, in the end Goof #1 succeeds at what it's trying to be: a funny, slapstick approach to a new hero. Read Full Review

  Rhymes With Geek - Ben Penfold-Marwick

  Feb 17, 2014

  I wanted to like this more than I did. Even though its been done before, theres always room for a comedy superhero book. I like thatCaptain Gorgeous isa pervy creep because I havent really seen that done in this genre before, so Ill return to see where that goes, but the dialogue, possibly because of a language barrier, is clunky, and when it comes to comedy, that just doesnt work. Its still a great looking digital comic though. Read Full Review
