The people who have sex and are criminals. Sex is there, it’s part of the story, it’s a huge plot device in the story, but it is not the whole story. What are those all about? How do you make them happen? How do you not make them happen? The comic, like a growing teenager, had to feel its way around a lot of these mature topics at first, but they become natural, organic to the story as the issues progress. The story touches on lots of personal themes, certainly most of all the theme of self-exploration and sexual relations. And the cops want to put them in cuffs- not even the fun kind- once and for all. In fact, for every sex criminal, there’s a sex cop. Sounds foolproof, right? Well, as the pair soon learn, they’re not the only two with access to “The Quiet”. So they start to steal money in the time-stopped sex world. A lot of stuff. They start small, at a local adult store, but they have bigger fish to fry- Suzie’s library is getting foreclosed on by the bank Jon works at. Finding out they can both come into “The Quiet” together, literally, they do what any sensible people who can stop time with their climax would do- mess around with stuff. If you’re wondering where the “Criminals” part of the title comes in, don’t worry, it’s coming. Have sex, stop time, want to have more sex, start time.
And the only catch to their gift is that the next time either becomes aroused or basically ready to have sex again, time resumes. Needless to say, they’re both very surprised. Of course, she’s the only one until she meets and sleeps with Jon. And she is the only one who can move around in this space she calls “The Quiet”. Not like a metaphor, though- time really stops. Whenever she experiences intense sexual stimulation, which is to say when she orgasms, time stops. The story follows Suzie, a librarian who can do a weird little trick. Which may or may not be aided along with plenty of sex toys-turned-projectiles, good for a laugh or five. The title may make you blush- hell, the content may make you blush- but the story has great heart.

And I’m not talking about Shamu.Īn Image Comics series started in 2013 by the brilliant and bold team of Matt Fraction, writer, and Chip Zdarsky, artist, Sex Criminals is a silly sex comedy for the record books. Okay, okay, the title may turn some heads, but once you get past that, the C-world is your oyster. “ I’mreadingabookcalledSexCriminalsandit’snotwhatyouthinkitisIswear.” Look, there’s no easy way to casually recommend a book called “Sex Criminals” to someone.
