Sex Criminals, Volume 1: One Weird Trick by Matt Fraction

3.0

---

I'd heard good things about this one when it released and the premise sounded really awesome: two people who can stop time when they have sex decide to use their powers for good. And the story itself is awesome - it's funny and smart and complex. The execution was flawed, for me, though; I often found it hard to follow. The delineation between present-day and flashback is not ever very clear and sometimes it was hard to tell who was supposed to be narrating a particular section. I'll be picking up the next volume; we'll see how it goes.
