Content warning: If the title didn’t tip you off, this book deals with sex — in graphic, often hilarious ways. Consequently, we’re slapping an Explicit label on this episode, for both language and subject matter.
In this episode, we look ahead to Amazon’s upcoming Sex Criminals streaming series with a look at Sex Criminals Vol. 1: One Weird Trick, by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky, published by Image Comics!
When Jon and Suzie hook up at a party, they discover that they both possess a unique gift: When they orgasm, time stops for seemingly everyone but them.
When Jon proposes they use this power to steal from the bank he works at to save the library she works at, it seems like the perfect crime. But it turns out they’re not the only ones with the ability to inhabit the frozen world Suzie calls The Quiet.
Like, what’s the deal with the woman known as Kegelface? Is Jon a little too good to be true? And can our modern-day Bonnie and Clyde evade the Sex Police long enough to pull off that crime of the century known as … The Comics Canon?
