Sex Criminals, Volume 1: One Weird Trick

This book was crazy, odd, and strangely appealing. I'd have to read it again to be able to articulate exactly why I liked it, but the fact that all this ridiculousness was in the effort to save a library was definitely a factor.

This was at times very confusing dialogue wise. It jumped around so much in the story I didn't know who's story I was supposed to be reading. I won't be continuing onto volume 2. Also the story itself was boring.

I wasn't sure I bought the premise of this book when I initially heard about it. It seemed a bit over the top. I was wrong. This is a hilarious and sweet tale. I will definitely read future volumes. The art wasn't quite to my tastes, but that's only a small mark against it.

Just sheer ballsy perfection, honestly. They come out of the gate with a bang (pun definitely intended) and never ease up. The humor suffuses the entire volume and if you don't laugh out loud several times over the course of any issue, let alone whole collection, then I think there might be something wrong with your funny bone. Panel for panel, I can't think of another comic that delivers on and compounds its own promise so well. It isn't an epic like Sandman or Saga but it isn't meant to be. This is the Arrested Development of graphic novels - just go laugh your ass off.
