Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
Mugshots is stylish, charismatic and tense. With absolutely striking art. --Tom Taylor (Nightwing, Injustice)
Bad people doing bad things to get out of a bad situation. Mugshots is the best new crime comic in a long damn time. --Matthew Rosenberg (What's The Furthest Place From Here, 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank)
Mugshots is one of those rare comics that gets better and better with every page. Intelligent storytelling on every level!--Dan Panosian (Canary, Slots)
Mugshots is clean and crisp, and gorgeously crafted. It's cool crime drama of the highest caliber. --Jill Thompson (The Sandman, Wonder Woman)
Thomas and Matthews deliver the best crime comic since 100 Bullets. A stylish gut-punch of a debut. --Karl Kerschl (Gotham Academy, Brave & The Bold)
A beautifully-designed Parker-esque crime comic--Rob Williams (Judge Dredd, Petrol Head)
Mugshots is the stylistic successor to the two-tone pulp world of Darwyn Cooke's Parker. This gorgeously rendered book is a seedy deep-dive into the UK criminal underworld filled with wisecracking felons and terrifying gangsters. A potent mixture of murder, mayhem, and heart ensure that Thomas and Matthews have hit the jackpot with this one. --Chris Condon (That Texas Blood, The Enfield Gang Massacre)
Mugshots is an edgy crime drama which, like most great crime stories, is ultimately about where family meets power. --Mark Russell (Not all Robots, Fantastic Four: Life Story)
A rich story wrapped in bold visuals that creates a superb visual experience. Highly stylistic and original, Mugshots confirms Thomas and Matthews as unique talents. --André Lima Araújo (A Righteous Thirst For Vengeance, Phenomena)
A classic crime story with lively twists and engaging illustrations.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
