Big Hard Sex Criminals: Volume One
3.5 starsI'm trying to get back into this series. I read the 1st volume about 5 years ago and then forgot about it for some reason. <--more than likely because even though it's unique, the premise is so weird that I just didn't care about the characters as much as maybe I should have.But I do like this.It is such and an odd story that you can't help but wonder where it's going, you know?Then again, maybe it's not going anywhere.In case you don't know, the gist is that these two people both discover that time stops for them when they have an orgasm. They meet, have sex, orgasm together (ha!) and realize that they aren't alone anymore, wherein they proceed to explore The Quiet (her word for it) & Cumworld (his word for it) together. Happy times!But the library she works at is in danger of being foreclosed on by the back, so they decide to stop time and rob said bank to save it. <--enter the Sex Police!Who are they? Where do they come from?Are they even real police?And then spoilery things happen.This is a cute comic in a Not For Kids sort of way. What makes it tolerable is that you can tell Fraction & Zdarsky are obviously having a blast writing this thing. And it's all very tongue-in-cheek, which makes for just a fuckton of sex-related puns. Some good, some bad, and most in-between. Do you want to read this?I don't know. I think each person who is contemplating this one needs to dig deep and ask themselves some very important questions. For example: Do I like dick jokes? A lot of dick jokes? Are time-stopping vaginas going to hold my interest? How comfortable am I roaming around in porn stores? Would I wear a Fleshlight as a hat? <--to spice things up around the office? If you answered yes to the majority of those questions, I think Big Hard Sex Criminals is for you. If not, give it a pass.
