Que feriez-vous si vous pouviez arrêter le temps après un orgasme ? Dans le cas de Suzie et de Jon, son amant, ils pillent des banques. Un choix atypique placé au centre de la nouvelle série Sex Criminals du scénariste Matt Fraction (Satellite Sam, Inhumanity) et du dessinateur indépendant Chip Zdarsky, décrite comme une comédie de science-fiction sur le sexe.
Sortie du premier numéro en septembre chez Image Comics.

A SEX COMEDY FOR COMICS
Suzie’s a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she has sex, she stops time. One night she meets John… who has the same gift. And so they do what any other sex-having, time-stopping, couple would do: they rob banks. In the vein of THE 40-YEAR OLD VIRGIN and BRIDESMAIDS, Image Comics invites you to come along with MATT FRACTION (Hawkeye, SATELLITE SAM) and CHIP ZDARSKY (Prison Funnies, Monster Cops) for the series that puts the « comic » back in « comics » and the « sexy » back in « sex crimes. »[/quote]
[quote=« Matt Fraction »]There’s a beginning, a middle and an end, but I don’t know how long it’s going to take us to get there. It’s a long form miniseries, maybe; an ongoing with a stopping point. Eventually.
The first book my work ever appeared in was called « Double Take » and it was beaten every single month in the top 300 by a book called « Blow Job. » Just, boom, right there, on the Diamond list – « Blow Job. »

So who’s the boy with the same sexy-time time-stopping gifts as Suzie? Meet John, who until last night thought he could freeze time with his junk. At long last not alone, what kind of horny hijinx will he and Suzie get up to together? What ANY of us would do if having sex stopped the whole world: We’d do crimes.[/quote]

How did these two end up in that bank, with those guns? Because they seemed like such nice kids, right? Well, THE SEX POLICE have the same questions and descend on Susie and Jon. And we get the rest of Jon’s gory story — if you read ONE weird sex and time comedy comic this year, make sure it’s « My Sexual Errors 1998 — Present! »[/quote]
Le premier numéro est téléchargeable gratuitement sur Comixology et, je suppose, sur le site d’Image Comics (qui propose des vrais téléchargements sans DRM). Je me suis laissé séduire par le premier numéro qui est vraiment très sympa. J’espère que la suite sera du même calibre.

Je me suis laissé tenté par le premier TPB, d’autant que les critiques sont globalement très bonnes, et j’ai été relativement déçu. Ca démarre très fort, mais ça perd de son charme ensuite, je trouve. Ma chro complète dispo ici.

Suzie and Jon continue the worst recruitment plan in the history of entertaining second-act montage sequences. Getting the band together never had so many fluids. By Hollywood jerkhole MATT FRACTION (ODY-C, SATELLITE SAM, Hawkeye) and literally a shed-full of car keys that somehow manages to draw comics.[/quote]
