3 Stars - I recommend if you are looking for a graphic novel that's funny, and about sex. I've got mixed feelings on this one.

This graphic novel follows Suzie, who has the odd ability to stop time when she has sex. Then she meets John, and she finds out that he has the same ability. When you have sex and stop time... what else is there to do but rob banks?

I had heard really good things about this graphic novel. I was looking forward to a funny, witty, sexy comic about time-stopping, bank robbing shenanigans... but I have some conflicting feelings.... On the one hand, I appreciated a heroine who was body positive and owned her sexuality, on the other hand, I found this a bit gratuitous (yeah, I know it's called "sex criminals")... and a little bit stark. I was hoping for a little bit of sex, and a lot of shenanigans... but it ended up being a lot of time spent in adult stores and reviewing awkward middle school sex experiences. I understand that the characters need background, and that it's not meant to be a one-sided funny sort of thing.... but I found it a little depressing. Parts of it were definitely funny, and the idea is clever, but I wanted more of Suzie and John's relationship, and their quest to use their frozen time.

Mixed feelings. A little gratuitous all things considered...
