Its a precision-tuned screwball comedy on its surface, and that surface is gorgeous, thanks to Zdarskys ace sense of design and inventive color technique. -TIMEAn honest, heartfelt story about relationships that was more John Hughes than John Holmes. -USA TodaySex comedies usually focus on the pursuit of orgasm; the writer Matt Fraction and the artist Chip Zdarsky have devised an ingenious one about the stillness that follows it. Zdarskys fluid, brightly hued artwork is dense with smutty gags, but this is a deeper, more understated comedy than it initially seems. -The New York TimesWildly imaginative, randy and true with characters whose sexual satisfaction freezes time and facilitates crime. Artist Zdarskys staging, storytelling and character designs make this even crazier. Great fun! -The Miami HeraldA sex comedy with a splash of crime thriller, the title is a fascinating examination of the pleasures and pitfalls of intimate relationships, using the central fantastic conceit as a metaphor for the way sex distances people but also, under the right circumstances, brings them together. -The A.V. ClubI wouldnt trust most comic creators to turn a sexual awakening into compelling pulp fiction, but Fraction and Zdarsky pull it off masterfully. -PASTESex Criminals is just amazing. If this isn't on your pull list you have to get it. -io9Sex Criminals is not just one of the best comics Ive ever read, its one of the best things Ive ever read, period. -Wil Wheaton, actorThe best debut of 2013 -RollingStone
