About the author
Matt Fraction
1,231 books1,876 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.

5-Stars! ☆☆☆☆☆
Jon is amazing in bed. I mean any of his positions during sex is a slam dunk. He even looks hot getting head... and Suzie is always smiling or moaning so he must be doing a little more than something right.
*weird side note: why is there a picture of two guys hugging real close above their couch in the living room?

YES! AFTER ALMOST A YEAR! IT'S BACK!

I have been waiting not so patiently for almost an entire year for a new issue of Sex Criminals.
There's not another comic like it, nothing as sexual or raw but equally as funny and dramatic and thoughtful. It's truly one of a kind and I have truly missed it.
The (really supersized bumper) issue starts with a recap (which honestly, you kind of need after ten months) and Matt Fraction is as conversational and meta as always, and funny, never forget how funny this comic is.
So after a ten page recap we finally get into the issue, which is essentially all about Jon and Suze's relationship and them trying to figure out what they want in the future and how they're going to fit into each other's lives and their goals. Jon is kinda reluctant, but Suze isn't pushing it, and the kind of have some sort of plan written down in between all the sex they're having.
It's nice and sweet in a way. These guys are slightly directionless, but they're trying to make it work, and that's something really relatable.
We didn't get a ton of development with the sex cops or any character who isn't Jon or Suze but it was just nice to be back in this world.
Man I've missed Matt and Chip.

يمنح فراكشن وزدارسكي هذا العدد من السلسلة بشكل شبه كامل لجون وسوزي كهدنة لرأب الصدع الذي نشأ في علاقتهما مؤخرًا من جراء اﻷحداث اﻷخيرة التي جرت لهما، ويعيدهما لسيرتهما اﻷولى قبل اﻹقدام على المعركة القادمة مع كيجيلفيس، مع الحفاظ على الجرعة الساخرة المميزة للسلسلة، حتى ملخص الحلقات السابقة لم يسلم من أياديهم.

I love this book so such! I have to be honest and say this is the first time I'm reading it in the monthly issues. I saw that issue 16 was coming out and it kicked my butt into gear to read the rest of the trades. I had read volume 1 ages ago, but for some reason never picked up volume 2. Even though I love this comic.
These are the kinds of Sex Criminals I love. Suzie and Jon just messing around and getting to know each other. It does feel a little like a filler issue, but it's so good, that I still love it. We need to be reintroduced to our characters and fall in love with them all over again.
I love it. I'm going to read issue 17 RIGHT NOW!

Highly amusing recap issue after the break. VERY funny exchange in the cafe with the group. Jon and Suzie have some goals. And some sex. Of course.
