Maybe I Have Eyestrain?

Apr 14, 2010 in Cliches, What Were They Thinking

I picked on Shining Knight the last few days, so today I’m gonna take a poke at another of “Law’s Legionnaires” (aka the 7 Soldier’s of Justice, who were really 8, or would have been if they’d counted the colored fellow) – the Vigilante.
