This was hilarious. I have a crush on Jon and Suzie is so snarky and sassy, she's one of my favorite female characters now. I can't wait to get the second volume.

RATING:  This was a real fucked up graphic novel. I don't think I've read anything like it. I thought Saga was weird, but this is even more weird.But this book was so much fun to read.The characters were hilarious. The instances that they have gone through were just too funny. I loved it. For those of you that had sex, does time stop when you orgasm? For Suzie and Jon, this was the case. Time stops when they get to that big O. And for a time, it was fun. They did things they think n...

Come… and read it! This TPB edition collects the comic book “Sex Criminals” #1-5, along with extra section of “behind-the-scenes” stuff including a cover gallery.Creative Team:Writer: Matt FractionIllustrator: Chip Zdarsky GETTIN’ DOWN TO IT There were others after Craig, I’m not a nun. I noticed that this comic book Sex Criminals was quite popular and good rated, so while I haven’t a clue about what was about, since I found it in my local comic book store, I thought giving it a chance t

I was really surprised by how much I liked this, since it had so many factors working against it. First, it's pretty weird to carry around a book that says "Sex Criminals" on the front, especially when your main reading time is on public transportation. (I ended up with a sticky note "accidentally" over the title.) Secondly, there's no way around it - though I really don't believe this is more explicit than any other graphic novel I've read recently (I'm looking at you, Saga, Volume 4), sex is s...

I go into this review giving fair warning and I share this without opinion or agenda. It is just facts to help the reader know what they are getting into. As you can see, the title is Sex Criminals. The book contains lots of sex and nudity. Some might say it is even borderline pornograpic at times. If that is not for you, there is no reason to give this a try.I am digging this Queen Bohemian Rhapsody variant cover!I have seen this as a top title on Hoopla for a while, but wasn't sure I would che...

So the premise made me laugh, the art is totally gorgeous, I like the fast-paced dialogue and how the characters interact, but if you think it's sex-positive then you're doing sex-positive wrong.The scene that made me dislike this book is when Suzie is looking up Jon's favourite porn star, Jazmine St. Cocaine, on the internet. She says, "It doesn't say which of her uncles touched her.", implying that all sex workers must get into the job because they've been abused in the past, which is such a t...

WAS EXPECTING MORE:)Still a great one!Full review to come!

This book gives you the sex education your school system failed to do, including not to slut shame and rape. This is an important book.

Yeah. That title got my attention too. I picked this up because Matt Fraction wrote it, and he's impressed me so far with most everything he's done. Plus the book came highly recommended. Bizzare concept: Imagine if you could stop time when you had an orgasm. That's it. Run with it. It's like a porno version of a classic twilight zone episode. The comic is more than just clever though. It's good in pretty much every respect. The only downside? It's hard to read this one in public without looking...

LOVED this. A world where the sex police exist and you can stop time with an orgasm.Very different, very well done

★ 2016 AtY Reading Challenge ★: A book you're embarrassed to read in public(not really but it's the only one I have with "sex" in the title).*3.5 stars*I've been wanting to read Sex Criminal since forever, I really can't say specifically why.Maybe it's because I have sex on my mind quite a lot lol

Reread: August 2016I reread this because I got volume 2 and wanted a refresher on what happens in this one, and it was still hilarious and entertaining! I love how this book isn't afraid to break the fourth wall, and the sex positivity in this was super refreshing and at times, hilarious. July 20154.5 starsThis was hilarious in the most interesting way. Very different, very weird, very uncomfortable at times, but very well done.

Long before the middle of the book I was - and you will be too - deeply in love with Suzie and Jon (the titular Sex Criminals) and their story, but it was the middle of the book when Suzie jumped up on the pool table to belt out Fat-Bottomed Girls by Queen that I realised I was reading a completely new kind of comic I’d never read before. As soon as Suzie opens her mouth, the lyrics are blocked out by captions from Matt Fraction explaining why they couldn’t reprint the Queen lyrics because certa...

Hey guys, so let's talk about sex for a minute. And that's not just me wanting to talk about sex, that's me saying, "hey let's talk about this book, which conveniently grants me a license to be slightly inappropriate in this review." Not that I need a license or anything, but I try to keep it toned to a respectable level since I'm about 70% sure my mom reads my reviews. I digress. Every once in a while, I read something so far removed from what I usually read— like total extreme— and it's always...

To be honest, I was shocked my library had this. I decided to read it based on the title alone. I was not disappointed. The story wasn't what I expected. It was part comedy, part sci-fi. Of course it had a lot of sex in it but that was how it worked. I just wish it wouldn't have jumped around so much chronologically. I don't mind a flashback here and there but the narrator was all over the place. They start telling the story but they keep remembering important things so it's a little disjointed....

This was...different.It starts out like this coming-of-age story about the first time Suzie cleaned her fur coat. But.Unlike the rest of us, she didn't just twitch and sigh.Time stopped.Of course, she assumes that's what happens to everyone when they rub one out, and spends a good portion of her adolescence trying to figure out how to delicately ask someone else how the whole clam digging/time stopping thing works.Awkward. By the time little Suzie grows up, she's finally figured out that this is...

Actual rating: 2.5 stars.Ugh. The dreaded meh review.So. We all know why I read this right? Anna said "Suze and Jon can freeze time when they're having sex" and I said "my reputation is ruined anyway, I might as well add this."You'll have to agree that this is a great premise. I mean, even if you're not into the whole sex with (view spoiler)[or without (hide spoiler)] a purpose thing (if you don't know what that is, just ask Liz , she'll be more than happy to enlighten you), you'll have t...

I think it's the best comic book of the year, and one of the best comic stories I've ever read.

INT. JOE'S APARTMENT -- NIGHTA man in his mid-40s (let's call him "Joe") stands over the stove putting out a fire cooking dinner from a recipe for chicken afritada he learned an hour ago. He glances over at a guest in the living room. A female in her late 30s (let's call her "Rosario Dawson") hasn't taken her flats off. She circles the apartment and studies it as if seeing everything for the first time. Her gaze falls onto the bookshelf that takes up an entire wall.ROSARIO: Have you actually rea...

▶ Suze and Jon can freeze time when they're having sex. Quite a cool trick right? ♦ First of all, I can't deny that some parts just didn't work for me - not because there's too much sex, I mean, hey, the book's named Sex criminals so I had some clues that it would contain sex scenes. While I'm talking about it, I feel the urge to point that yes, there are a lot of sex in it and that's not for everyone. But that's not porn - sex criminals , remember?♦ The problem is that I often found myself not
