Cum and Read Sex Criminals
THIS WAS FUCKING AMAZING BALLS! Sorry I'm starting out using swears and vulgar language, but this book deserves it in the review. Sex Criminals is a sex comedy book. You'll laugh so hard much you might cry in shame. Don't laugh too hard though. If you explode the Sex Police will come after you and whack you with a dildo. Okay enough puns, time to get down with the serious part of the review.
Sex Criminals was actually really funny. Even with the serious moments it turns into funny moments. To start with the names of the main characters are too perfect. Did anyone catch her name was Suzie Dickson and his name was Jon? I picked it up after the second issue. Besides the names the character themselves are likeable. What's not to like? They're like most of us when we have are first orgasms: alone and confused.
Another big hard pro for this comic is the sexy art work. With a comedy book like this, Zdarsky's art fits well. It kind of reminds me of all those stupid web comics they make now, but with more tits and dicks. I love the fact he does little background things as well. Like the posters you see in all of Alan Moore's comics.
There are some great comic book moments in this too. One scene shows Suzie singing and dancing to Queen's song "Flat Bottomed Girls" like in a musical, but Fraction covers the lyrics with yellow notes saying he can use the song because of rights. The concept of this comic is another great moment too. It's so weird, but so original. Image after having an orgasm you could stop time. What would you do? If you were like this couple, you'd rob a bank.
Maybe the best thing about getting this in trade rather then separate issues is the behind-the-scenes segment. Normally I don't read that stuff because it raving the comic or it's just born shit you see all the time. Not with Sex Criminals. They keep is comedy the whole way. The book is even dedicated to every one who "rubs one out."
Should you read this comic? It depends. Do you want to see cum freeze in mid air? Out of this world sex positions? Barton Fink's porno? A Tilda Swinton kegelface look-a-like? A Garfield costume with giant tits? Do you want to know how to get out of sex handcuffs? If you said yes to any of those, then cum and read Sex Criminals.
