8th Place: Sex Criminals #1 with Samantha Puc

Shelfdust Presents: The Fifty Best #1 Issues

This week it's time to bust out the Freddie Mercury as we look at the comic which ended up in 8th place: Sex Criminals #1 by Matt Fraction, Chip Zdarsky, Becka Kinzie and Drew Gill!

Nobody forgets their first time. Sex Criminals follows only one of the two central characters, Suzie, as it jumps around in her timeline and establishes that whenever she orgasms, she pauses time. Literally, time pauses around her. It's a series about two people who have sex and then commit crimes, sure, but the first issue is a beginner’s guide to sexual experience, told by an engaging lead character and which is more openly compelling and heartfelt then you’d ever expect. This week Matt is rejoined by special guest Samantha Puc to talk all about it!
