Hey there and welcome back to Burnt Barn Business.
Just a quick one today to say that there is only a week left to let your comic store know you want them to get in a copy of our new crime series Mugshots for you.
It’s four issues and every one has 36-pages of story, so it’s quite the bang for your buck.
We’ve been getting some great feedback from creators we really admire, which I’ll drop at the bottom after the pages.
I hope you’ll give it a look as I think it’s the best work I’ve ever done and the art from Chris Matthews is stunning.
"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 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)
"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 clean and crisp, and gorgeously crafted. It’s cool crime drama of the highest caliber.” Jill Thompson (The Sandman, Wonder Woman)
"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)
"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. The first chapter clocks in at a generous 36 pages, and not a single one is wasted. At the final page, you are ready for even more." Jim Chadwick (Former Editor at DC Comics, Injustice, Batman '66)
"A rich story wrapped in bold visuals that creates a superb visual experience. Highly stylistic and original, Mugshot confirms Thomas and Matthews as unique talents.” André Lima Araújo (A Righteous Thirst For Vengeance, Phenomena)
"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)
That’s all for now.
Stay safe out there.
Best,
Jordan
That's a lot of high praise! This story looks thrilling in all the right ways.
