Shoulder Wound Sunday: Mugshots
Celebrating shoulder wounds one panel at a time
There was an old book blog/site that kept a running list of quotes when characters got “hit in the solar plexus”. Whenever they found an example, they would add it. It was a tongue slightly in cheek way of recognizing a cliche but I think done from a place of love. In that spirit, I’m starting a series called Shoulder Wound Sunday, which playfully acknowledges a favorite cliche while highlighting the crime comics they appear in.
This weeks shoulder wound is from Mugshots by Jordan Thomas & Chris Matthews
