Sex Criminals, Volume 1: One Weird Trick
by Matt Fraction
Yes, it’s bonkers.
Yes, it’s crude (certainly the most dildos-per-page, or dpp, I’ve ever seen)
But it’s also hilarious, highly entertaining, and surprisingly heartwarming. Our two main characters are incredibly endearing, and a series of interspersed flashbacks fill in the necessary character development. The story has a wild premise, but it’s grounded by layers of authenticity. The coming of age, the new romance excitement, the treatment of maturity, relationship, and self - all of it was written in strokes that I could relate to on various levels (despite the sheer audacity presented in some of the scenes)
And speaking of strokes...oh cmon now.
I’m talking about the artwork. Which is great. Which is perfectly detailed in most of the panels and wonderfully magical in the scenes portraying what Susie calls the “Quiet Place” (I’m not repeating what Jon calls it).
All in all this is a fun series and I’m intrigued as to where it will go next!
