Sex Criminals #11: Manime

Sex Criminals (Single Issues)

by Matt Fraction

NEW STORY! NEW ARC! SAME OLD MATT AND CHIP. Jon and Suzie have a gift: when they have sex, they stop time. And they're not alone. Get on board the book that's been called "hilarious" and "arousing" — by Chip's mommy. OH! All these issues? They're all in a sealed bag because 1000 totally random blank covers have been "customized" by Matt and Chip. Will YOU be one of the lucky ones (thousand)? Will YOUR copy be worth a million dollars one day because it is one-of-a-kind and unique (probably not)? YES! (No.)

About the author

"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.

I did not see that cumming.

Es la cosa más random que he leído en la vida... Si desde el inicio Sex Criminals me ha parecido raro y random, el volumen #11 sobrepasa todo lo leído, pero tengo que confesar que es el número que más me ha gustado, los anteriores se estaban desviando mucho y este retomó la esencia (la rara y random) de los primeros.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't express myself right now.

P.S: They're back! <3

It was good. It was funny. And it was weird as hell. It gets weirder and weirder...!

Fraction and Zdarsky. These guys are weird as fuck. I like them.

Love the NSFW cover!

Either there's a way to enter shared stopped-time that isn't simultaneous orgasm, or our suspension of disbelief is meant to stretch around the concept. Still a great story.

It's good to have the Sex Criminals back and this is a really good return, but I wish things were moving a teensy bit faster, as I'm getting somewhat tired of these same plot points. I wouldn't mind an entire issue devoted to Robert Rainbow and Rachelle or even one completely about Myrtle. Plus, I was a little confused about where the "cumpass" came from...

The Brimper letters doubled my enjoyment of this issue, and made me super glad I have started reading individual issues, even though issues always feel too short. I love Fraction's treatment of people's quirks and I'm excited to get back to my favorite sex criminals and their crazy story, and especially to meet all the new members of their growing weird club.

I never get bored of reading these. They are funny and random all at once!

[Enfys Joy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Issues ALWAYS feel too short. Good thing I can read and re read and always find something funny. ^_^

SO THIS HAPPENS

[محمود راضي · Rating 4 out of 5]

مثلما كان الأمر مع العدد التاسع الذي انفرد بحكاية آنا، ينفرد هذا العدد أيضًا بقصة شخص آخر من ذوي القدرات الخارقة مع الجنس وهو دوجلاس، شخص يبدو من الخارج عاديًا ورتيبًا لكنه ليس كذلك.

5 stars for that ending alone. LOLL

[Irena · Rating 5 out of 5]

This doesn't stop being amazing! Definitely the comic of 2015 for me.
