The word "sex" in in the title, so I think it should be obvious, but just in case it's not, here's the official warning that Sex Criminals is an adult comic with erotic (if tasteful) art and topics, so those who are leery of raunchy humor or candid talk about sex should steer clear.

I picked Sex Criminals up since I wanted to read something that was humorous, since I was getting fatigued of gritty, noir, and post-apolcalyptic comics (just finished reading some X-Force, Velvet, Walking Dead, and Y-The Last Man), because I've heard good things about it, and because Matt Fraction wrote it.

I was pleasantly surprised. I found the talk completely off-the-wall premise (Come on (no pun originally intended), some people's orgasms literally stop time and there are sex police??) and candid talk about sex, masturbation, porn, etc. funny, especially all the little touches of double entendre words and phrases incorporated into the background, funny and hugely entertaining. Fraction and Zdarsky manage to capitalize on what would normally be considered low-brow humor without sinking to the tackiness and toilet humor of mediocre raunchy comedic movies. Although 40-Year-Old Virgin, Bridesmaids, and Jackass: The Movie, which I enjoyed, were referenced as touchstones for the comics, in my opinion Sex Criminals is smarter and funnier. Sex Criminals's humor and oddball premise also provide a scaffold for portraying the 20-to-30-something-year-old experience in a way that's not as poor-privledged-people-whiny as Scott Pilgrim or as sad-angsty as Ghost World, including bumbling around trying to learn about sex in a world that only discloses the ridiculous (e.g. porn) and not the realistic; crappy (pun intended) office jobs; loneliness and isolation; and the fantastic feeling when you find someone (platonic or romantic) with whom you connect.

hmm this was interesting... definitely pretty funny and sex positive i just wasn't head over heels for the characters! I may pick up the next volume in time though!
