The Goon's quality was recognized with an Eisner Award in 2004 for Best Single Issue (Dark Horse The Goon #1) as well as an International Horror Guild award. The following year Powell won Eisner's Best Humor Publication and Best Continuing Series awards.

    He is a featured interviewee in the movie Independents. Additionally, he has illustrated roller derby bout posters for Fracture Magazine.
