Sex Criminals is an ongoing comic. To read a review of Volume One go here.
Sex Criminals is a comic about a pair of people who
literally stop time when they orgasm, who meet each other and decide to rob
banks for a good cause. A plan that brings them to the attention of the Sex
Police, a vigilante band who can also stop time with their junk. Altercations
ensue and now our heroes Suzie and Jon are convinced to give up the bank robbing
game and go legit. Sex Criminals: Two Worlds, One Cop is what comes after and
details the pairs struggle to turn their sexual connection into a relationship
while trying to stay one step ahead of the Sex Police. It's a boner joke comic
that is also a deeply heartfelt and deeply honest comic about what it takes to
keep a relationship going and mental health. It's the kind of comic that makes
me want to simultaneously make Frank Herbert's Dune porn jokes in this review
("You cannot resheath that knife unwetted!"; "The
"spice" must flow!") or tell you about the time I realized I
probably have very real social anxiety problems (a panic attack alone in the
woods during a coworker camping trip without my support network). Sex Criminals:
Two Worlds, One Cop is the comic that maybe best captures the hilarious sexy
fun of falling in love and the viscerally real struggle of staying in love and
being alive. And so many boner jokes.
Word count: 235
