To get the listeners in the mood for Valentine’s Day, MMP is discussing (graphic) love stories for the new theme in February. The first book of the month, Sex Criminals #1 (2013) by Matt Fraction, explores the awkward experience people go through as they try to learn about sex. Due to an appalling lack of sex education, the main character and narrator of this comic, Suzie, finds it hard to discuss her concerns with anyone! This is an especially acute problem given Suzie’s uncontrolled stoppage of time during orgasm. Blending humor and fun colors, this comic deftly addresses concerns surrounding moderns society’s understanding of sex. Will Suzie ever be able to get the answers she is looking for? Does everyone else experience a pause in time when they reach the moment? Listen in and find out!
