ItÕs a precision-tuned screwball comedy on its surface, and that surface is gorgeous, thanks to ZdarskyÕs ace sense of design and inventive color technique.Ó ÑTIME ÒAn honest, heartfelt story about relationships that was more John Hughes than John Holmes.Ó ÑUSA Today ÒSex comedies usually focus on the pursuit of orgasm; the writer Matt Fraction and the artist Chip Zdarsky have devised an ingenious one about the stillness that follows it. ZdarskyÕs fluid, brightly hued artwork is dense with smutty gags, but this is a deeper, more understated comedy than it initially seems.Ó ÑThe New York Times ÒWildly imaginative, randy and true with characters whose sexual satisfaction freezes time and facilitates crime. Artist ZdarskyÕs staging, storytelling and character designs make this even crazier. Great fun!Ó ÑThe Miami Herald ÒA sex comedy with a splash of crime thriller, the title is a fascinating examination of the pleasures and pitfalls of intimate relationships, using the central fantastic conceit as a metaphor for the way sex distances people but also, under the right circumstances, brings them together.Ó ÑThe A.V. Club ÒI wouldnÕt trust most comic creators to turn a sexual awakening into compelling pulp fiction, but Fraction and Zdarsky pull it off masterfully.Ó ÑPASTE ÒSex CriminalsÊis just amazing. If this isnÕt on your pull list you have to get it.Ó Ñio9 ÒSex CriminalsÊis not just one of the best comics IÕve ever read, itÕs one of the best things IÕve ever read, period.Ó ÑWil Wheaton, actor ÒThe best debut of 2013Ó ÑRollingStone
