THE GOON #34\\n
Creators: Eric Powell\\n
Colorist: Dave Stewart\\n
The Goon\\u2019s been away for a while, and he\\u2019s horrified by what\\u2019s been passing for horror in his absence! When a bunch of gothy vampires summon some of the new generation for revenge on the Goon, they discover just how little tolerance he has for sparkliness. The Goon returns to its bimonthly schedule, and nothing beloved by ten-year-old girls is safe!

MAJOR SPOILERS POLL OF THE WEEK\\n
When it comes to fights, there is the My Dad Can Beat Your Dad, Superman vs. Hulk, My Fav vs. Your Fav, but rarely do you see fights involving one married couple taking on another married couple.\\n
To be honest, the current relationship status between Green Arrow/Black Canary and Hawkeye/Mockingbird seems to always be up in the air, but for the sake of this Poll of the Week (submitted to us by @Praion via Twitter), we\\u2019re considering the couples married.\\n
FIGHT!

Alan Moore\'s Top Ten\\n
Top Ten Volume One\\u2028
Writer: Alan Moore\\u2028
Artist: Gene Ha, Zander Cannon\\n
The story revolves around the day-to-day lives of the police officers at the 10th Precinct Police Station and is similar in tone to classic television police dramas like Hill Street Blues, which Moore has described as an influence. The book also addresses a wide range of prejudices and issues, but with a science-fiction twist; monsters, robots and fantasy creatures often face the bigotry and problems faced by real-world human minorities.\\n
The series is noted for its comic-book references and visual \\u201csight gags\\u201d relating to the genre. For example, a caped street-corner watch-vendor uses a cardboard sign advertising \\u201csignal watches\\u201d, and a hot-dog vendor cooks his wares with heat vision. One plotline involves a boy-band called Sidekix whose hit single was called \\u201cHoly Broken Hearts\\u201d. Likewise, most advertising, signage and graffiti in the Top 10 universe contains references to the world of comic books and super powers (e.g. a clothing store called \\u201cThe Phonebooth\\u201d) and crowd scenes usually feature many characters from sci-fi and comic books
