Praise for this book

Mugshots is stylish, charismatic and tense. With absolutely striking art. --Tom Taylor (Nightwing, Injustice)
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)

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)
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)
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)

A beautifully-designed Parker-esque crime comic--Rob Williams (Judge Dredd, Petrol Head)
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)

I can't think of another, recent first issue that pulls you in with the immediacy of Mugshots. It's off and running from the jump, with a cast of three-dimensional characters caught up in a complex web of tragedy, intrigue, and violence. --Jim Chadwick (Former Editor at DC Comics, Injustice, Batman '66)
