"Great fun!" - The Miami Herald Named one of Time Magazine's top 10
graphic novels for 2013! Suzie's just a regular gal with an
irregular gift: when she has sex, she stops time. One day she meets
Jon and it turns out he has the same ability. And sooner or later
they get around to using their gifts to do what we'd ALL do: rob a
couple banks. A bawdy and brazen sex comedy for comics begins here,
by Matt Fraction (Satellite Sam, Hawkeye) and Chip Zdarsky (Prison
Funnies, Monster Cops). "On the surface, this is a hilarious story
of two people, Suzanne and Jon, with the power to stop time after
they orgasm, and then rob banks while (almost) everyone else is
frozen in time, which is an amazingly original idea. But underneath
that, this is a story of the beginning of a relationship: its
exciting newness, its terrifying possibilities, its ups and downs,
its secrets and understandings, and, of course, its sex." - PW
When Jon and Suzie have sex, time stops--literally. What happens
next? They rob banks, of course. Now they must try to stay out of
trouble, too--and also love--but mostly trouble, yet everything
keeps on complicating and getting all feelings-y and stuff.
Gathering together for the first time in full glorious color on
oversized pages and almost entirely in the right order comes this
pulse-quickening, pants-tightening, heart-pokening third and fourth
arcs of the award-winning, bestselling,
can't-believe-this-is-actually-our-jobs sex comedy SEX CRIMINALS,
with bonus content (some created exclusively for this volume) and a
modesty cover beneath the dust jacket to enable shame-free public
consumption. Collects SEX CRIMINALS #11-20 "Part romance, part sex
comedy, and part heist drama, [SEX CRIMINALS] manages to turn a
story about two lovers who rob banks with orgasms into the most
emotionally realistic and relatable sex comic ever made." -- Wired
Magazine "SEX CRIMINALS grapples with no shortage of subjects;
grief, mental health, self-medication, consent, rejection, and butt
plugs are all handled thoughtfully. It's hilarious, considered, and
sex-positive, but if you're just into cuddling that's fine, too."
-- The Ringer "Who knew that Image Comics (...) would become the
premier publisher of forward-thinking genre comics? Consider (SEX
CRIMINALS) Exhibit A." -- Rolling Stone "A smart, funny,
sex-positive comic book for readers of all genders and
predilections." -- Slate "(T)he story transcends the sex and the
jokes to take a hard, wet look at what humans do when we do sex...
An astounding read." -- BoingBoing
The grand finale! The big finish! The climax! We speak of course
about this, the end of the award-winning, boundary-pushing,
taste-challenging SEX CRIMINALS. Suze and Jon have sex, stop time,
and rob banks. The bank went after them. Now Suze and Jon finish
off the bank, the Sex Police, and the bad guys all in one pop,
hoping to dodge a huge load of trouble before it explodes in their
faces. Collects SEX CRIMINALS #26-30, 69

ODY-C, modeled after Homer's Odyssey, is a psychedelic,
gender-broke science-fiction epic that tells the story of three
legendary warrior-queens returning home after a centuries-long
battle. Odyssia, of fair Ithicaa, encounters everything that can
get in her way and slow her homecoming — and realizes with
dawning horror that maybe she doesn't want to return. Queen Ene,
she who rules the universe, reclaims her husband He of Troiia only
to find herself trapped in a place where even the Goddesses cannot
see — a secret world of men gone mad. And as for Queen Gamem, she
has a date with her lovelorn wife and a warm bath of her own
blood... Told in verse with a visual sensibility that redefines the
very possibilities of the comics medium, this gloriously oversized
hardcover collects issues #1-12 plus exclusive bonus materials
including essays by classicist Dani Colman, teaching aids, and a
massive ten-page fold-out only available in the sold-out first
issue. "Fraction and Ward are doing wildly imaginative work
combining fantastic Greek mythology with futuristic science
fiction, and the book has a visual sensibility unlike anything else
on the stands." -- A.V. Club

As seen on LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS! The Eisner- and
Harvey-award winning raucous sex comedy that Time magazine called
the Comic of the Year and Apple called "inappropriate for sale on
iOS devices" returns in SEX CRIMINALS V3: THREE THE HARD WAY. So it
turns out Jon and Suzie aren't alone - other people around the
world, like them, freeze time when they climax. A self-appointed
group wants to regulate and control them through fear and
intimidation. Jon and Suzie are falling in love and want their
freak flags to fly, but if they're going to fight back they can't
do it alone. And really, isn't that a metaphor for the whole
series? That we might all be alone but we're all alone together? I
think so. If you read only one comic with a semen-demon in it this
year, please make it SEX CRIMINALS V3: THREE THE HARD WAY. "I
wouldn't trust most comic creators to turn a sexual awakening into
compelling pulp fiction, but Fraction and Zdarsky pull it off
masterfully." -Paste Magazine
Suzie and Jon have that special something -- when they have sex,
they freeze time and do crimes. Well -- they HAD that special
something. In the aftermath of what would appear to be a breakup,
where do our two love-crazy time-freezing sex-having bank robbers
go? REBOUND AHOY! Also everything gets more dangerous and
complicated? But it's okay. Collecting issues #21-25 of the Eisner
Award-winning series.
"Older teens and adults will chuckle as well as learn from this
Eisner and Harvey Award-winning rarity, which speaks honestly and
sometimes educationally about sex." - Library Journal Voted Time
Magazine's Best Comic of 2014! The second volume from the
Eisner-award winning Sex Criminals finds the honeymoon to be over
for Jon and Suzie. Once the thrill of new lust fades, where do you
go? Come along and laff and love with Matt and Chip as they brimp
back ceaselessly against the past.
