Our favorite couple has narrowly escaped Kegel Face and her Sex Police and now they want to lay low, settle down, and just be a regular couple. But like any new couple, the honeymoon phase fades and the real struggle begins!The fun is over in Sex Criminals and in some ways, I thought the shift in tone was interesting. But it did mean that I enjoyed this volume a little less. I really wanted more time-stopping sex and CumWorld criminal hijinks but instead I got hefty doses of relationship woes an...
This story continues to surprise me. I was really impressed with this volume, for how artfully it entwined so many different important elements.Was I laughing so hard my sides hurt? Yes.Was it also insightful, poignant, and real? Surprisingly, yes.I appreciate how honestly it tackles topics like depression, mental illness, sex-workers, relationships, etc. That's so important, especially in a setting that also manages to be hilarious and incredibly sex-positive at the same time.This is DEFINITELY...
I loved Sex Criminals Volume One. I loved it so much that I ran out after finishing it to buy the second volume because I needed more right away. I wish I could say that I loved volume two as much as I loved volume one... but I didn't. I found volume two to be boring and all over the place. I felt like this volumes issues didn't flow together at all. I found myself sometimes looking back to see if I had skipped over a page only to find that I hadn't and something new was being brought up randoml...
No, really, what the hell am I reading?I like that this discusses depression. I like that Suzie and Jon aren’t automatically super happy forever just because they can both stop time with their orgasms. I like that Jon goes to therapy, and the first therapist doesn’t do him much good, and that the one who does begin to help (and it is only beginning) is idiosyncratically suited to him. That’s the way it works. (I’m not as keen on the exhortation to get out there and exercise ’cause that’ll fix it...
Well, I have done it. I have finally read a graphic novel where I don’t feel comfortable sharing any of the pictures I have been able to find online that accompany the volume. Either the language or visual content is not something I want randomly showing up in my friend’s feed! Now, you might say, “Matthew, were all adults around here, we can take it!” Well, I know I have a variety of followers out there and I want to make sure that I don’t alienate anyone.That being said, I guess you pretty muc...
Shit, as they say, is getting real.Sex Criminals, Vol. 1 remains one of the funniest, sexiest, most ridiculous things I’ve ever read. That it’s a comic is only a plus. It would have been funny and sexy and touching if it was just words, but Suzie and Jon and their friends really come to life in the colorful, sometimes profane, artwork. (There are also some truly hilarious visual gags as well.) But if One Weird Trick was all about introducing Suzie and Jon and their Special Power, then Two Worlds...
Also available on the WondrousBooks blog. I liked this volume a lot!The previous one was centered around Suzie much more than it was around Jon. And I liked her a lot, while my feelings towards him were very ambiguous. Especially between him as she sees him, and him as he is.In Volume 2, however, we had the opportunity to spend more time with the "real" Jon, and I started warming up to him more. I enjoyed the first issue of the volume a lot, because it showed his own struggle, his attempts to
This was great like book one! I like how this one delves a little bit into mental illness and expands the world of our sex police and other timestoppers lol. I liked the first one a little better because there's less relationship angst, but the humor and the weirdness of this is so compelling and I can't wait to read volume 3!
A scene that is a porn filmed of people pretending to be characters from The Wicked + The Divine. Yep.
I really can't say why but I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as the first.Also, I've discovered that this is a really weird thing to attempt to read on your lunch break when other people might be able to see the pages. Awk-ward.Look, it's not porn, I just happen to be reading a very clever graphic novel about time traveling sex maniacs, ok?
Just as good as Vol. 1 in terms of humor, breaking the fourth wall and art style, but not enough to grab my attention and make me wanna continue on with the series. It is simply too silly for me, and I won't be spending 18€ on a half-assed comic book that won't me think or consider the art form in new innovative ways. Nowadays, I need a lot more than mere entertainment. And even on the entertainment front, there are better comics out there.
So, first of all, that title though!Second of all, this series is INSANE!This still includes the same time-stopping orgasms and bank robberies that took precedent in the first installment, but there is also an added depth of emotion that I felt was missing in the previous volume. Whilst still hilarious, this covers topics such as mental health, sexuality and female sexual arousal. This added depth allowed for the characters to display a more raw and real side to them, and for me to empathize wit...
While the first volume introduces readers to the wacky sensibilities and grueling sexual histories of the protagonist couple Suzie and Jon, the second volume of Sex Criminals entitled Two Worlds, One Cop. delivers a more well-balanced story arc which enhanced my appreciation and enjoyment of this series. It solidified my fan status for what writer and artist Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky respectively have accomplished. Suzie and Jon had just reached a breaking point after their misadventures la...
WTF????? The ending?????!!!!!3/1/16 // 5 hours later and I want to read this again. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Where's the next volume?!
This series is just damn enjoyable. Solid volume with some actual important topics.
If you pick this up thinking it will be criminally sexy, think again. Criminally boring is what it is.I knew I shouldn't have bought this. I mean, I thought volume 1 was meh as hell. But I'm an idiot so I ordered this anyway. Why? Because I liked the concept. You have to admit that the idea of literally freezing time whenever you have sex is pretty cool, right? The idea might be cool but if you don't know what to do with it, it won't get you anywhere. And that's exactly what happened here. Ther...
Suzie and Jon both have a special superpower: when they orgasm, they can stop time. Then they meet, fall in love, and decide to save Suzie’s library from foreclosure by the bank by robbing said bank of its filthy lucre! And so they ran like the sex criminals they were – in love, robbing the rich to give to the needy, and evading the sex police. A perfect ending! Or it would’ve been if there wasn’t a Volume 2! The initial burst of romance is over and Suzie and Jon are settling into their new rela...
Loved it as much as the first volume. Yes there's still parts where too much talking is happening. I also think sometimes plot advances little too slow. Now the good part. Holy hell is this series funny as fuck. Who didn't laugh at the face for Keagleface? Or even better the ass-illuminti line. I fucking lost it. My wife is reading these at the same time as me and just finished volume 3 and we laugh so much in bed you'd think we're fucking insane. It just has too many funny lines. Also the serie...
4.5 stars. Some of the sex humor in these comics isn't really my taste, but I appreciate that it's not completely juvenile. There is a lot of humorous commentary on other subjects that had me cackling like a fool though, and I think it will speak to many adults. Sex Criminals is one of my favorite comic series at the moment. I do really adore the way the relationship between the main characters is playing out. It's very realistic, these characters are very realistic. Yay for a sexy lead female c...
I loved the first installment so much that I'm surprised at my feelings on the second. Nothing happened in this volume that truly excited me. The storyline felt a little stalled (even though (view spoiler)[the library is demolished!! (hide spoiler)]), and Jon and Suzie's relationship seems to be the central piece for issues 6-10.But that aspect wasn't handled as well as I had hoped. One of the things that I really liked about Vol. 1 was how well the relationship was written. It's an interesting
