Yes, this is in the right section.
The Goon is one of those comics I pick up on occasion opting instead for the collected editions. Set in an unspecified time period that looks oddly like the mix of the Roaring Twenties & Depression Era America, the titular Goon is a hulking bruiser who heads the criminal racket in his City (perpetually unnamed) and happens to be the only thing standing between the regular populace and a zombie horde.
Yep, zombies. There's also: vampires, ghosts n' ghouls, giant mutant apes, rival mobsters, interdimensional aliens, booze, mad scientists, roadsters, guns, comely maidens, massive squids, a "living" zombie.
So who's the twerp? That's Franky, the Goon's one true friend and sidekick in their unrelenting war against the Zombie Priest. He's scrawny. He's motor mouthed, but highly resourceful. And if everything goes right he'll be voiced by Paul Giamatti in the feature-length film! No, not The Goon. He'll be voiced by Clancy Brown!
David Fincher & Blur Studios released a concept trailer back in 2010 @ the World Famous San Diego Comic-Con?. While gaining fan approval, the film has languished in development hell. No studio has been willing to green light a, well, non-family oriented animated feature. In order to "show more" Fincher & Co. have reached out to the suddenly ubiquitous Kickstarter audience to fund a feature-length story reel*.
A story reel is a fully voiced storyboard intended to convince the money men in Hollywood to part with their dubious rubles, because they love to make to movies and absolutely hate to read.
Dig on the proof of concept trailer!

Interested? There's 18 more days to go (as of 10/23/12) in the Kickstarter campaign! They've just about reached the halfway point in their fundraising goal of $400,000, so there's a snowball's chance in hell that this gets done.
Kickstart this sucker! And do your part to help change how animation and sequential art is viewed in these United States!
If everything goes Tango Uniform then hopefully you'll use this opportunity to pick up a new comic. Silver lining and all that.
