The page image looks like someone cracked a mirror or their helmet. The trope is when someone is shot in the head, they get a nice neat bullet hole in their head. It would be nice to get an image of that instead of whatever this is supposed to be.

Seconding. I'm having a hard time telling what this is supposed to be.

[up] I think it's the character's reaction shot (no pun intended) to being double-tapped in the face.

EDIT: Wow...these is proving to be much harder to find than I was thinking it would be.

Hm, Series.Alphas had one where a dude took a bullet through the face. I'll see if I can find it.

Nope, just checked the video, it's got either motion blur or fire in the picture.

I don't have a pic ATM but a pic of Kate's death in NCIS would work iirc it was very much in this trope.

I was seeing if I could find one of Wolverine from the second X Men film. He gets better, but it still looked right.

[up] Nice choice, especially since, given how the ballistic shock would've reacted with his skull and flesh, his forehead should've been blown open by the impact.

Yeah, actually finding the shot is turning out to be trickier than I thought. I don't see how a little bullet could have blown out an adamantium skull though. His skull is stronger than the bullet. Which means that the fridge logic is actually how did it manage to get deep enough in his head that we couldn't see it?

[up] No, I was saying that since the bullet couldn't have gone through his skull, the ballistic shock from the impact would probably have gone back and around and torn up his forehead a lot more than it did...but I know precisely jack about ballistics so that could be completely wrong. You've got a good point about how the shot looked in the scene...maybe it went into the divot left by the adamantium bullet he got shot with before?

Hmm.. I don't suppose anyone can find screenshots from the original Dragon Ball where Launch shoots Goku, Roshi, and sometimes Krillin full of holes with her gun? she shoots them in the head all the time with a machine gun, but they just shrug it off after a little bit of stingy pain.

[up][up] Much more blood behind her than this normally has. It tends to be weirdly bloodless.

Sometimes yes sometimes no, sometimes these have the blood trickle out of the back like a slow leak instead of having Brains splattered everywhere and stuff. (especially since she was shot with a sniper rifle.)

The scene was the slow leak version they left the camera there for a bit, my GIS skills can't find a good one early where there wasn't much blood... sad oh well.

That one is excellent, particularly since the "zit" is the exit wound.

Actually, it's the entry, his head popped backwards after the hit. I think, comic book art tends to be weird.

You know, I'm not sure that head-shots are actually something that I want or need an illustrative picture for. Just my opinion.

It's supposed to be that he's been popped in the forehead and is falling backward from the impact...weird comic thing.
