About the series
Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky’s Sex Criminals (2013–2020) from Image Comics is a boldly original, R-rated romantic comedy about a couple who discover that each can stop time when they orgasm—and decide to use their shared power to rob the bank threatening their love. Over 31 issues, Fraction’s witty, emotionally raw writing and Zdarsky’s expressive, cartoonish art blend frank sexuality with heist-movie thrills and a surprisingly tender exploration of mental health and intimacy. It’s a landmark series for its unflinching, humorous, and human take on adult relationships, proving superhero conventions could be bent into something entirely new.
