Are we not Sex Criminals?

Sex Criminals, Vol. 1: One Weird Trick by Matt Fraction
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If the basic premise of a hipster couple who can stop time when they have sex and use that power to rob banks doesn't draw you in, I don't know what to tell you. Except to say that the story is well-executed, the jokes are some of funniest, raunchiest sex jokes I've seen in my adult life (and I am usually a big prude about sex jokes), and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Recommended.

Saga Review

Saga, Volume 1 by Brian K. Vaughan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gorgeous, weird, NSFW and occasionally shockingly violent. I enjoyed it quite a bit even though I'm increasingly over "shocking comic book violence." I like the premise a lot, I like the protagonists a great deal, I really like the evil aristocrats with TV screens for heads (which is not an original look, but I've always loved it in any context). Especially here, as the main villain seems to have poor control over what he displays on his monitor. Graphic sex and graphic violence, kind of a mix of gratuitous but more to sample than to drown in?

If you like your fantasy and SF well-mixed and seasoned to taste, this is a book you should enjoy.
