Pretty good overall. Not as funny as I thought it would be, though the plotline on the planet was both interesting and silly. Maybe I didn't enjoy some of the characters enough.

I was really unsure about this before starting it, it seems like one of those things that is either going to be brilliant or awful and I had been re-reading some early Hack/Slash recently and found it to be tending more towards the later than I remembered, but this was actually really fun. Don't me wrong, a group of scientists that start making porn to fund their space travel missions is entirely ridiculous but it was done in such a way that it was hilarious and also weirdly touching at times. I think a lot of credit goes to amazing art here as well. When you have a story that is so heavily centered around sex and drawing people naked you really need an artist that has a firm grip on anatomy [something which a lot of comics artists seem to be weirdly lacking] and can draw different body types or it turns stale really quickly. The art in this is great and I think that is what took it to the next level a lot of the time.

A fun and sexy story that pokes fun at the current popularity of amateur porn and the crazy times we live in.

Money Shot is a kind of goofy but ultimately unique sci-fi adventure in which a group of scientists essentially start an only fans to fund their space exploration. Although sex is one of the main themes of this book, the on page sex isn't nearly as graphic as the sex in, say, Saga. NGL that did kind of surprise me. I found the characters compelling, and I'm quite invested in their relationships with one another. The art in this book is great, it's playful in a way that perfectly matches the general unseriousness of this book.
Edit: upon reflection, I think I wanted more out of this book. I was expecting more of the science and space exploration that the sex is finding, but alas, we don't get much. I still like the character dynamics and will probably read the next volume, but I'm not sure how much more I'll read if I'm not obsessed.

A simple but fun read.
Creatively silly and great art.

It'll be interesting to see how, and if, this develops. I, like other readers it appears, was quickly reminded of Sex Criminals another comic with a sexual hook and an intriguing premise. Now, while Sex Criminals fizzled out, I think this one might have more to go forward. Especially as the plot is unfortunately believable - humanity has become so uninterested in anything beyond itself and anti-science that even the confirmed existence of alien civilizations has failed to ignite interest in exploring the galaxies (that we quickly demonstrated to the aliens reasons not to engage us, did not help).
I don't know how this exactly will develop (the ad for volume two at the back hints at a look at the POTUS of this world) but am intrigued enough to follow-up.

Well, I knew what I was getting into when I saw the title of this comic. I've read one other work by Tim Seeley and enjoyed it so I thought I would check this out. Please note that this is sexually explicit and is definitely not meant for kids to read
Money Shot is a new comic book series that focuses on the adventure of 5 scientist as they attempt to improve the worlds in the galaxy through sex. They have a teleportation device that allows them to visit worlds, but in order to finance their trips and have the opportunity to study life on other planets they decide to have sex with aliens and record themselves doing it through a paid subscription service. Naturally, when they actually get to their first planet Dry Reef they end up discovering that they are without a much needed resource --- water. With a ruthless leader and a guru who has lost his ability to create cataclysmic power through an orgasm, the group of scientist have a lot cut out for them.
What's so interesting about this comic is that it's actually a little more tame in the sex department than I think a lot people are going to expect. While the plot does revolve somewhat around the discussion of sex, it was still engaging and suspenseful in some areas. There is some conversation about being comfortable with yourself and with sex which I actually enjoyed. The five characters have to spend time getting emotionally and physically comfortable with each other and that strength and connection is resonated and extremely important to the development of the story. Unfortunately, all of the characters weren't that great. While Chris seems to be the main focus, it was frustrating to get a lackluster characterization of the other scientists. We see the connection between them on page, but their personalities are a little on the dry side. And while we see some distinctive traits awarded to each character, it wasn't enough to save some narratives from bleeding into each other.
The artwork was great. I enjoyed the variation in colors and the designs considered for the creatures on Dry Reef. While they are their own independent species, it was interesting to see a blend between Earth-like sea creatures and aliens. This definitely is an interesting comic. For anyone that is concerned, the sex scenes are done nicely so that the reader doesn't feel like they are simply looking at porn. There is an important story that does occur within the volume as a whole. There are even romantic/relationship explorations that occur between characters. I don't won't people to make unfair assumptions about the comic as a whole. Overall, I thought it was good and I'll be picking up the next volume.
