Sex Criminals: Volume One: One Weird Trick by Matt Fraction

From publisher's website: Suzie's just a regular gal with an irregular gift: when she has sex, she stops time. One day she meets Jon and it turns out he has the same ability. And sooner or later they get around to using their gifts to do what we'd ALL do: rob a couple banks. A bawdy and brazen sex comedy for comics begins here!

I went into this blind. I thought it was going to be more perverted than it was. It was actually funny. I enjoyed the concept which was something I never read nor heard about. When Suzie masturbates / has sex time freezes. When she meets and sleeps with Jon, she realizes he can do the same thing.

She finally meets a guy with the same power? Gift? What do you call it? Anyway, she finally meets someone just like her. They get to know each other, have sex, possibly fall in love, and come up with some schemes to help Suzie save the library. Wasn't a fan of Suzie or Jon. Suzie has a problem with communication and instead of masturbating and having sex all day, she should probably talk to someone. Jon is suffering from some of mental illness, not sure if what he says is truthful or if he just lying to Suzie to keep her around.

Also, I didn't like the constant slut shaming even though it was used as a joke, it seemed a bit much. While the story was interesting and different, I am not going to read Vol. 2. It didn't make me excited to read more, and I am fine with reading the first 5 issues.

Weird, intersting, original. I liked the 5 issues I read here, definitely want to see where it goes. The dialogue felt very natural and funny, hopefully the story can stay interesting.
