About the author
Matt Fraction
1,221 books1,864 followers"How he got started in comics: In 1983, when Fraction was 7 years old and growing up in Kansas City, Mo., he became fascinated by the U.S. invasion of Grenada and created his own newspaper to explain the event. "I've always been story-driven, telling stories with pictures and words," he said.
Education and first job: Fraction never graduated from college. He stopped half a semester short of an art degree at Kansas City Art Institute in Missouri in 1998 to take a job as a Web designer and managing editor of a magazine about Internet culture.
"My mother was not happy about that," he said.
But that gig led Fraction and his co-workers to split off and launch MK12, a boutique graphic design and production firm in Kansas City that created the opening credits for the James Bond film "Quantum of Solace."
Big break: While writing and directing live-action shoots at MK12, Fraction spent his spare time writing comics and pitching his books each year to publishers at Comic-Con. Two books sold: "The Last of the Independents," published in 2003 by AiT/Planet Lar, and "Casanova," published in 2006 by Image Comics.
Fraction traveled extensively on commercial shoots. Then his wife got pregnant. So Fraction did what any rational man in his position would do -- he quit his job at MK12 to pursue his dream of becoming a full-time comic book writer.
Say what? "It was terrifying," said Fraction, who now lives in Portland, Ore. "I was married. We had a house. We had a baby coming. And I just quit my job."
Marvel hired Fraction in June 2006, thanks largely to the success of his other two comics. "I got very lucky," he half-joked. "If it hadn't worked out, I would have had to move back in with my parents.

So after going to a sex club with his new girlfriend Polly, Jon sees Ana there and leaves. He also got a text from Suzeanne at the end of the last issue but we don't know if he read it. He meets up with Alix to put their new plan of hunting the Sex Police into motion, which invloves Alix jumping in front of a bus cause the only way she can get off is an adrenaline rush. We don't know if it worked; but we do know that Badals sex power is apparently the ability to travel through time when he orgasms, interesting. And it also turns out that the bus that Alix ran in front of is in fact the one that the other Sex Police officer drives. So as he's berating himself on a park bench, Dewey comes over to see if he's alright. There's definitely something that's going to happen there. Also while at a museum, Suzane has had an epiphany, what that is though, we have yet to see.

The Red Room. Finally we’re being given insight into what’s plagued Jon’s dreams for the past 6 months! And he’s not the only guest in attendance; there’s another familiar face there to work out her own relationship frustrations.
Matt and Chip and really delving into the objectification elements of sexy. The pure unfiltered revelry of it all.
Also for the first time (ever) last issue introduced a kind of supernatural element. Has Suzie indeed made contact or is she being haunted by the ghosts of her past?
Best quote of the series:
“Don’t burn the house down with your electrified fuck-horse, mom.”

Sex Crimals #23 was episodic, and it was nice to touch base (or uglies) with practically the entire cast. I felt like I was missing something, through either an issue being not read or the long time in between stories. Still, bonus points for the bookstore scene. I work in a bookstore. I've lived that scene. Everyone who I work with has now enjoyed just that single page and it brought a whole lotta joy to our lives.
(35.5/50)

How is it possible for the story to get even duller? This is heartbreaking! I loved the series in the beginning and now that it is concluding, it is slowing down!

Everything was great. Jon stuff, Suzie stuff, art gallery stuff, gay fat guys in love stuff, Badal bizarreness, very Donnie Darko.

This issue was a cluttered mess so I hope the next one makes more sense, dig?
