Sex Criminals Volume 2 delivers on all the humor and imagination I expected after the first volume, but with a grittier look into our screwed up protagonists and their screwed up decisions. The honeymoon period has ended for our heroes and they must face the fallout from their actions, their new enemies, and their own internal turmoil. Sex Criminals is the total package, outrageously creative and playful, while also serious and moving. I also love how Fraction/Zdarsky give page time to stuff of real life importance. In volume one it was the surprising confrontation of the struggle of a young woman to get real sex education and not be vilified for it, and in volume two they call out the male propensity to send unsolicited pictures of their genitalia to young women they've never met, as well as providing a legit discussion of pros and cons of different birth control options. Just casually changing the world into a more thoughtful place.
