The Eisner- and Harvey Award winning raucous sex comedy that Time magazine called the Comic of the Year and Apple called 'inappropriate for sale on iOS devices' returns in Sex Criminals, Volume Three: Three the Hard Way. So it turns out Jon and Suzie aren't alone ― other people around the world, like them, freeze time when they climax. A self-appointed group wants to regulate and control them through fear and intimidation.
Jon and Suzie are falling in love and want their freak flags to fly, but if they're going to fight back they can't do it alone. And really, isn't that a metaphor for the whole series? That we might all be alone but we're all alone together? If you read only one comic with a semen-demon in it this year, please make it Sex Criminals, Volume Three: Three the Hard Way. “I wouldn’t trust most comic creators to turn a sexual awakening into compelling pulp fiction, but Fraction and Zdarsky pull it off masterfully.” – Paste Magazine Collecting: Sex Criminals 11-15.
The third volume of Sex Crimz sees Matt Fraction have some kind of breakdown in the middle of the book – literally, as he writes himself into it having a convo with Chip Zdarsky - as he basically gets bored writing the series. What else happens? Jon and Suzie are being pursued by Kegelface and her cronies - still - with zero progression, and a lot of tiny, totally boring developments occur: Ana and Suzie don’t get along! Robert Rainbow’s intimidated by Rachelle’s sexual experiences!

What else happens?
Jon and Suzie are being pursued by Kegelface and her cronies - still - with zero progression, and a lot of tiny, totally boring developments occur: Ana and Suzie don’t get along! Robert Rainbow’s intimidated by Rachelle’s sexual experiences! Kegelface is banging Jon’s shrink to get info on Jon! Yikes, that’s the best Fraction can muster?
Looks like Sex Crimz is going the route of Chew. Chew once had an actual storyline and then as it went on each book became about new weird foodie powers only; in Sex Crimz, it’s now all about the new sex powers. Meet an orderly whose sperm takes the form of a sentient anime character and an asexual businesswoman who can jump off tall buildings and produces some kind of force field that keeps her from going splat.? I suppose they’re kinda interesting, the guys introducing more colours of the sexual rainbow but their intros do slow down an already glacial-paced narrative even further.
There’s an overly long dreary lecture from Ana Kincaid on what’s “normal” that’ll put you to sleep; Suzie’s set up small stands - “mini libraries” - around the city filled with the books from her former library, a twee concept that feels like it would only work in a city like Portland, where Fraction happens to live; and Jon says “I love you” to Suzie - cue dramatic nonsense! Since when did Sex Crimz get Friends-level sitcom bad? Oh, since now. The meta stuff was novel at first but now it feels like Fraction irritably getting out of boring corners he keeps writing himself into. A scene where a character goes to a grocery store is just white text on black background explaining how tedious and unnecessary the scene is and let’s just move on - so why even have that scene in the first place? He uses this device again to get out of all the exposition needed to get Jon’s shrink up to speed on what’s happening in a scene.
I get the convenience of it but it still makes the book feel lazy and tossed off. What annoyed me was the scene where Ana and Suzie confronted each other on their mutual dislike.
I understand going all meta to get out of writing redundant dialogue, especially when this contrived antagonism is such a snoozefest, but why even have Ana dislike Suzie at all if you can’t be bothered to write the conflict in the first place? The theme of the book is supposedly about morality and who’s in the wrong but this key scene exploring this theme is blanked out with Fraction appearing in the comic going full-neurotic to Zdarsky on the phone instead. It comes across as pointless and self-sabotaging.
Breaking the fourth wall was fun for the Queen sequence in the first book but this time around it feels like Fraction’s becoming more frustrated with the series rather than having fun with it. The frustration shows when Suzie decides she doesn’t want to be a sex criminal anymore which is kinda the whole point of the series! Three the Hard Way sees Sex Criminals take an unfortunate turn for the dull.
I still like the characters, the concept and the art, I just wish there’d been a story in this one rather than a load of directionless nothing. Kurtis Wiebe announced the weekend before last that Rat Queens was going on hiatus for the foreseeable future - maybe Sex Crimz should do the same until Fraction’s figured out what he wants from the series? My journey of catching up with the graphic series I have devoted myself to is going strong, even when I have still miles to go. I do like these busy seasons when I can only dedicate myself to little reading that doesn't require hours of sitting and concentration from me, something I am absolutely unable to give and deliver, because these are the times I can fully savor books with pictures.

Third volume of Sex Criminals did not live up to its previous installments, all of them worth a solid 5 stars. As you can see, I have knocked down 2 shiny stars, which would usually mean a rabid downhill from now on, but I am hesitant to agree with because this volume had lots of good, lots of excellent, and lots of funny. I understand that Mr. Fraction had a personal mourning during the time he was creating successor to the second volume, and I also understand all the delays and problems that Three the Hard Way had before it finally got published. Considering all that, I think what Fraction accomplished here is astonishing, but also explains why this volume is such a high experience of meta (which is not a bad thing at all), and why it loses its grip and makes it read disjointed and often very difficult to comprehend.
This is very much character driven episode, there is not much development within the story, but there is a lot of new characters and tricks to introduce. I was not personally a fan of all the new tricks but I am not completely turned off by them either. There is a lot of sexual criticism from a point of view of the society, and it does hit on the nail with many of them. It gives food for a thought when comes to sexuality and our ways of dealing with something we find to be out of the box even when it is not, on the contrary. That still keeps being the strongest part of these comics, the ability to explore and explain sexuality in a higher levels, which is something this world seems to lack despite of all the fancy education that is available for us, the ordinary folks.
I do enjoy Fraction's way of including himself to the process in the pages of this volume even when it makes it feel like an easy way out, but it brings him closer to us readers, makes readers to be a part of his creative working methods. The art keeps being wonderful, and so suitable to the subject matter, and it is one of the elements that strongly keeps this volume together even in those times when it is falling apart with words. I am still eagerly awaiting the next volume, and am hoping for the team to get back on track, back in the mood.
3.5 stars What I loved: -Meta narration.Amazing characters. An asexual character was introduced in this volume and her introduction was perfect. I love how even though this story is about a 'sex power,' there is still a role for an ace character that isn't tied to sex.Expanding world.Continued sex positivity, body positivity, feminism, discussions on mental health.Particularly great discussion on the recent history of female sexuality.

What I didn't like: -What's so frustrating to me about this series is that it has some GREAT moments. Truly great messages. But then you turn the page to find the most childish adult humor. I feel like it undermines itself, and at 3 volumes in I'm getting kind of bored of that. I think this is too serious for people who just want an adult sex comedy, but too graphic for people who want the more serious side.
It's a hard mix. I think I'm too much of a prude for it to be honest. I find myself living for the social commentary of this series, but cringing at how many penis drawings I have to wade through to get it.
Sex Criminals has been through a rough patch in the past year and a half. Most importantly, Matt Fraction's father passed away during that time, which obviously affected his work. The guy was smitten. Also, the comic itself had some problems — all of the issues in this arc came out with alternative, very NSFW covers by superstar guest artists, like Brian Lee O'Malley, Kate Leth, Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez.

The guy was smitten. Also, the comic itself had some problems — all of the issues in this arc came out with alternative, very NSFW covers by superstar guest artists, like Brian Lee O'Malley, Kate Leth, Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez. Each NSFW issue had to be polybagged, and their polybagging machine broke like fifty thousand times, which also resulted in huge delays.
A lot of other stuff happened, but what I am trying to say is, the book has been on a long hiatus after a long hiatus with huge pauses in between, and all of these things inevitably affect the story. There is even a scene in this book where the fourth wall completely breaks, and we see a dialogue between Fraction and Zdarsky, where Matt is being miserable about himself and about the book, and Chip is being a dick that he is, haha (sorry, chum). The whole scene is pretty funny, but it's also kind of worrying and depressing. No, don't get me wrong, the comic is still brilliant, clever and funny as hell. The plot doesn't move a ton in this volume, focusing more on characters. And those are some great characters, they always feel like real people. And real people go through shitty stuff, sometimes.
This is kind of the main theme of the arc. Anyway, I still love this series to bits. It's one of the books that got me properly into comics a couple of years ago, and I am eternally grateful. It still has some of my favourite characters ever.
And there is still nothing like it. I thought I would criticise this volume a bit in this review, but damn, I love Sex Criminals too much. Yes, this volume is nowhere near as good as the first two. But I will stick with it to the end. And I really hope Fraction's life gets better.
The dude deserves it. It sticks out like a sore thumb in the middle of this incredibly meta volume, but Three The Hard Way contains one of the best issues of Sex Criminals to date. 'BACE' is a thoughtful introduction of new character Alix and I found her almost immediately endearing because of it. Her story does contain humour Her attempted blowjob had me in stitches, Chip Zdarsky deserves another Harvey award for the facial expressions during that scene alone. , but Matt Fraction shows It sticks out like a sore thumb in the middle of this incredibly meta volume, but Three The Hard Way contains one of the best issues of Sex Criminals to date.

, but Matt Fraction shows just how well he can write the characters that give the series substance. Unfortunately the volume as a whole feels a bit off.
I know the final two issues were heavily delayed, but the lack of a real narrative arc leaves the book feeling unfocused. As funny as the meta stuff can be, the sheer amount of it means it can detract from what's actually going on in the book.
Fortunately then, I also found Three The Hard Way as funny as the first two volumes. There are some truly ridiculous gags in here (I'll just type 'hey' and anyone who's read the book will know what I mean.and then hate me for reminding them) and I still laugh when I think back on them now. The interview with the 'real-life models' for Suzie and Jon has it's moments, too. Three The Hard Way may be flawed, but the first things that spring to mind when I think of it are Alix's story and how much I enjoyed the humour. Chip Zdarsky's artwork is as good as ever and the ending left me wanting more, too.
I just hope that when Vol. 4 arrives, some of the meta fat has been trimmed and there's a great story to sink my teeth into instead. This series has continued to go from strength to strength in both plot and the density of topics covered. I stated in my review of the last installment that I liked the depth of the subjects covered, and this third volume has completely upped the ante in that department!

My only grievance is that this created more questions than it answered. I have so many things I need to know!.eagerly awaits volume four.
3, or the one where Sex Criminals goes even more meta than usual. This series is probably the weirdest ongoing thing I read by quite a large margin, but it's so kindhearted and earnest and willing to take chances, I just very much want everyone to give it a go. I'm trying right now to get my book club to read the first volume, so we'll see about that (I think some of them might read it with their hands over their mouths in a state of perma-shock, and the thought makes me giggle).

(I'm sorry, now I'm just picturing my one very proper friend getting to the panel with the Dildo Throne.) This trade is basically the living embodiment of identity crisis. I mean, it's just an extended meditation on how finding out who you are isn't enough, if enough people are constantly trying to tell you that who you are is wrong or monstrous, or abnormal. The first two volumes of this series were a celebration of sex as something that shouldn't be hidden behind closed doors, as something natural and magical. This one goes further, and if doesn't quite get to celebratory, it's only because it's not possible to do so and remain true to its subject. This comic's thing (and it's a thing I agree with) is that there is no 'normal.'
Normality is a myth, and a prevalent one, and when someone deviates at all from the perceived norm, a lot of harm can come from trying to squash the monstrous deviation and fit in.After writing this review, I read that Matt Fraction's father died while he was writing this, and that's partially the reason this one turned out the way it did. And that's just the plot. Fraction and Zdarsky go all meta, as noted before, questioning their own premise. What to do about a series called 'Sex Criminals' when your two main characters no longer wish to commit crimes? This one has gotten mixed reviews, but I really enjoyed it. I liked the way they used their art to work through some stuff, instead of attempting to do the norm and possibly fail miserably, they did something new that felt right, and I think it worked. And now once again, I wait.
Warning: May contain spoilers if you have not read Sex Criminals Volume 1 & 2. This was fucking hilariousexcuse my french. I don’t think I’ve giggled that hard while reading anything in recent memory. The story basically picks up where we left of at the end of the second volume.

Yeah, you read that right, Sex Criminals is a comic about people that can literally stop time when they orgasm. The premise alone was quirky enough to get me to pick up the first volume almost 3 years ago now, but I can assure you that there is so much more to this story than a great premise.
It’s hilarious and honestly one of the funniest comics I have ever read. On top of that, there are also a few more serious moments in which Jon and Suzie deal with relationship issues and moral dilemmas. In typical Matt Fraction & Chip Zdarsky fashion, we get a little bit of fourth wall breaking hilarity. In one amazing scene Chip Zdarsky actually illustrates a conversation between himself and Matt Fraction in which they are discussing how a scene is going to play out and it is literally comedic gold. I’ve never seen that done within a comic before. While this volume felt a bit like a filler, to connect a few story lines and introduce new characters, it made up for it in honest to goodness comical genius. This volume introduces a new mysterious character.
The only thing that we know about her is that she’s asexual and that she has a bit of a chip on her shoulder. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything with asexual representation before, so that should be exciting in upcoming issues/volumes. Also, am I the only one that felt as though this volume was a lot more rated R than previous issues? I meanmaybe it was just me but, there was a lot more full frontal this time around right?!
This comic series is definitely one to read if you’re looking for a few laughs mixed in with some serious drama. Sex Criminals, Volume 1 was the first ever comic bind-up I had ever purchased and read and it definitely paved the way for my current comic and graphic novel obsession. I can’t wait to continue with this series! - Initial post reading thoughts: This was hilarious. There were so many moments that actually had me giggling out loud. I love the fourth wall breaking hilarity within this volume!
The only minor issue I had was the introduction of new characters without any real explanation as to who they were leaving us with a cliffhanger. I felt like this volume was more of a filler, but it made up for it in comedic hilarity. Man I love this one as much as the others, though I can see why some won't. This has a lot of forth wall breaking, a weird issue inbetween about A-Sexuality which may not appeal to everyone, and also a lot of fluff without things moving forward in the main story. However all the relationship stuff worked really well for me in this one.

I also LOVED some moments like magical anime vagina monster or the dick pic moment. I also enjoyed the Asexual story even if it felt like a odd placement for it. On the flipside the stuff with the therapist is kind of lame I'm just not feeling much of that. Even if it has funny moments. So yeah this remains one of the funniest series out and I will continue reading till it's over! It's sad but this series is getting worse and worse, issue after issue.
I like both creators but they lost control of what's happening what was happening. Or they seem that they're pretty bored with the title and don't even try anymore. Let me say that it has lost its premise. Anything and everything that was 'promised' on volume 1 and anything that was interesting and made volume 1 SO good is. The artwork stays great. The story is gone.

The story is gone. I may be interested to buy the next volume on sale just cuz I'm curious but that's it.
Sadly, the main plot is going nowhere for the last 10 issues or so. The couple was getting ready to form a team or some shit and we were getting these stupid flashbacks and stupid filler with new characters for so many issues and now Suze is BORED.
She just don't wanna rob banks anymore and shit. Great stuff huh? Anyway, a joke here and there that makes you exhale through your nose.
And that's it. When your letters page is funnier than your book, you have a problem.
I'd say I hope it gets better but it's not interesting to me anymore. I didn't think that this trade was as good as the previous ones. The plot just kind of stalled, not really developing or revealing anything beyond what has already been established. This one was also a lot more meta, more so that usual. Several scenes are 'missing', their contents just described in little black boxes and at one point the comic abruptly stops as instead of the action, we are show a lengthy conversation between Fraction and Zdarsky. I did like the addition of the asexual character I didn't think that this trade was as good as the previous ones.

Although they don't really feature much in this novel, it's an interesting idea and it's always nice to see representation of this group in fiction. And I'm done. Not only does this span the spectrum of sexual assault, from the casual rape joke on the second page to coerced sexual contact, but the whole volume suffers from lazy writing. The conversation Suzie and Ana were about to have about Suzie's slut-shaming just doesn't happen.

These tools know they wrote themselves into a corner and instead of fixing it by writing a difficult scene, they chickened out. They wrote a five-page lecture—literally—on cultural attitudes about sexuality but couldn't rouse themselves to tackle a similar subject with their own characters? They came up against a subject that made them uncomfortable, and they ran. That's male privilege. They don't get points for being cute about it. They did a better job of handling the tension between Rachelle and Robert—based on the same idea that if you have a lot of sex you're.you know how the rest of this sentence ends—because they, you know, actually wrote those scenes instead of writing about them. Odd how both of the characters who get shamed for having sex are women.
Almost like it's baked in. This volume does introduce an asexual character! But I'm not sitting through another book of this. Contains: slut-shaming, unsolicited dick pics, references to sexual assault, tentacles, suicide, and infuriating meta commentary.
I love both Matt Fraction & Chip Zdarksy. (In a platonic way, of course, never having met either of them.) And I love Sex Criminals (the comic.) But, this arc kinda left me feeling underwhelmed. The first 2 arcs laid out the basic premise, and escalated that premise. This arc didn’t really especially add anything to the saga (IMO), and it feels like we’re losing momentum as the stated premise begins to wear a bit thin.

I’m sticking with the title for now, however, in the hopes that we get a creative resurgence in Volume 4. (And it anyone can do that, it’s Fraction & Zdarsky!). When I was skimming reviews before purchasing this, I saw that they were generally less enthusiastic than the last two volumes, but I seem to be having the opposite experience as everyone else.

I was lukewarm on the, really enjoyed the, and I thought this latest one was just as strong. At this rate, the comic will be cancelled as soon as it becomes my favourite series of all time. Sex Criminals is a filthy, juvenile, and hilarious comic about people who have powers that activate when they orgasm, all of which seem to relate in one way or another around stopping time. In the first volume, the two main characters used this power to break into a bank, hence the name Sex Criminals, and the story has now progressed to include an ever-increasing number of characters. The plot is becoming somewhat unfocused, but I'm hoping this was just setting up some story elements in the next volume, because right now it's in danger of just being a showcase of weird sex powers with no real goal, which would be a real shame. The writing is hilarious, and I'm just hoping the plot can catch up.
One of the newly introduced characters was an asexual woman, and I found her chapter really interesting. I thought Fraction did a brilliant job of introducing the topic of asexuality in an understandable and respectful way while still being funny. Another character was a man who creates semen demons, so a slightly different tone there. It's very funny, Chip Zdarsky's art is fantastic, but that won't be enough to hold it up if the plot doesn't tighten up a bit. I still have high hopes for the next volume, though. '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.

'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. '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.
