About the author
Matt Fraction
1,237 books1,885 followers"How he got started in comics: In 1983, when Fraction was 7 years old and growing up in Kansas City, Mo., he became fascinated by the U.S. invasion of Grenada and created his own newspaper to explain the event. "I've always been story-driven, telling stories with pictures and words," he said.
Education and first job: Fraction never graduated from college. He stopped half a semester short of an art degree at Kansas City Art Institute in Missouri in 1998 to take a job as a Web designer and managing editor of a magazine about Internet culture.
"My mother was not happy about that," he said.
But that gig led Fraction and his co-workers to split off and launch MK12, a boutique graphic design and production firm in Kansas City that created the opening credits for the James Bond film "Quantum of Solace."
Big break: While writing and directing live-action shoots at MK12, Fraction spent his spare time writing comics and pitching his books each year to publishers at Comic-Con. Two books sold: "The Last of the Independents," published in 2003 by AiT/Planet Lar, and "Casanova," published in 2006 by Image Comics.
Fraction traveled extensively on commercial shoots. Then his wife got pregnant. So Fraction did what any rational man in his position would do -- he quit his job at MK12 to pursue his dream of becoming a full-time comic book writer.
Say what? "It was terrifying," said Fraction, who now lives in Portland, Ore. "I was married. We had a house. We had a baby coming. And I just quit my job."
Marvel hired Fraction in June 2006, thanks largely to the success of his other two comics. "I got very lucky," he half-joked. "If it hadn't worked out, I would have had to move back in with my parents.

That "The Wicked + The Divine" reference killed me. I really, really liked this issue!

Everything about this comic is perfect. This issue in particular addresses exotic dancing (& porn work) in a respectful & considerate manner (not that I would expect anything less from Chip & Matt).

Jazmine/Ana is such a great character.

Ah, so now we get the backstory of a porn queen turned tenured professor. I think that's a thing. A pretty common thing. I think it's now an archetype, even.
Is this why you've been nominated for 2015 Hugo, Sex Criminals? I hope not. It's interesting and all, and it is humorous, but it's not exactly deep enough for me.
Yes. I want depth in my comics. Sue me. ;)

There's a cameo porn parody in this that made me really stupid excited. If that's what the comic Crossover had been about I might have liked it more.

من أعظم وأمتع أعداد السلسلة على اﻹطلاق، تروق لي الطريقة التي يكبر بها العالم الصغير لجون وسوزي في هذا العدد بالذات، وكيف يتلاحم عالمهما رويدًا رويدًا مع عالم آنا، المرأة التي كان جون يحتفظ بصورة عارية لها منذ سنوات دون أن يعرفها على نحو شخصي كل هذا الوقت، كما أن قصة آني نفسها ممتعة جدًا وتعد واحدة من أجمل لحظات الفلاش باك في السلسلة.

We meet Jasmine St. Cocaine and Jon and Suzie hatch a new plan as the plot continues to improve and prepares to begin a new arc.

Me gustó saber el backstory de Jazmine St. Cocaine.

This title is so fresh in sexual perspective, and continually offers each month.
March 5, 2015
The artwork alone deserves framing. But the humour and the refreshingly frank look on sexuality? AND freezing time? What more do you want?

I'm pretty sure they're getting worse as the series goes on.

Their decision to introduce new perspectives and characters has finally got me on board for this series. I'm loving Ana so far.

5/5 purely for the wicdiv reference, that was truly magical and punny as heck
December 10, 2015
it's gotten a lil bit boring
