Sex Criminals: Sexual Gary
Remember “Sexual Gary”? What was up with that guy? The brilliant RACHAEL STOTT (Supergirl, Doctor Who) drew a story so crazy it had to be told, but not by Chip, who was still a big part of the whole thing.

About the author
Matt Fraction
1,028 books1,875 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.

Well that was fucking crazy. The art was gorgeous, and it had the trademark Sex Crims non-stop jokes and filler. I guess it explains Sexual Gary's presence in the background of the main series, not that was necessary. I liked the beginning, where his all-encompassing pansexuality was explored. There was some good sexy art, some ridiculous situations, all in all it was like regular sex criminals got a big-budget movie, i.e. great production values but a bit less charm. The ending is both hilarious and very anticlimactic when you know what happens immediately after from the regular issue it references.

Reading advice.
Read this issue after finishing Volume 4 (issue 20).
Half-way through this book, I realised it was parodying some sport movie I have seen before. It's a lot more fun if you read this with your partner or a friend. Take turns reading the dialogues out loud, dramatically.

I missed this one when reading through the main series. It was fun to return to this world and read about a background character that I don't think was ever explicitly mentioned by any characters. Not the most sensical story, but that doesn't exactly matter.
