    It's free, dude! And I just read it an it is really not skeevy at all
    Sex is a major theme but it's not in any way pornographic or titillating
    It's honest, and it doesn't tiptoe around the ideas it presents

    Also it is free

    The idea of a power that triggers every time you orgasm is inherently creepy to me yes

    Functionally, it is identical to something like Banner Hulking out whenever he gets angry

    only difference is the triggering mechanism

    Gonna have to check out Sex Criminals when I get out of work.

    The premise sounds like a bad porno, so I wasn't too eager to drop money on it.

    If someone said Sex Criminals was the best comic coming out right now, I would not argue with them.

    I'd say NOT reading it is the real crime.

    The real sex crime?
    No. Just a regular crime.

    I love that when Slade and Roy shake hands, even though the motion isn't nearly as vigorous they still add in that SMACK sound effect that Slade and Ollie had
    Like, this is just how it sounds when Slade Wilson shakes your hand

    also, Slade's one eye bugging like crazy when Sarah comes down the stairs was hilarious

    I know, right? Fraction and Zdarsky are just excellent, thoughtful, funny dudes. There's a handful or so of comics creators I go out of my way to support because I admire them as people, and some I avoid because they're kinda shitty human beings. Team Sex Criminals is squarely in the "good people" camp which is a really unfortunate sentence if anyone were to take it out of context.

    Locke and Key is so good. Joe Hill is a pretty good writer. But considering his pedigree I suppose its not that surprising.

    Man I am not a fan of most of Brosnan's Bond films but damn if he doesn't seem like the raddest dude in that documentary.

    He was totally aware of how stupid they were getting towards the end and just rolled with it

    It's on Netflix and it is actually named after EON Productions.

    Man I loved that game though. It was the best Brosnan Bond movie.

    I'm not sure about the line about Batroc in that trailer.
    "He's known for massive casualties."

    That doesn't quite sound right, does it?

    Oh great, thanks guys. It turns out that comic isn't on comixology over here but my search history now has "Sex Criminal" in it. I look forward to the onslaught of Frank Miller recommendations.
