An ongoing, episodic prose comic from which the pictures are summoned by the magic of words, "Goon Squad" is set in a 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. In The New Girl, Nadiya Kysla just wants a quiet life. When trouble comes her way, she must once again assume the role of the infamous Puppet Girl. But can she leave her villainous past behind?"
