Matt Fraction

Sex Criminals, Vol. 3

Dimitris Papastergiou

It's sad but this series is getting worse and worse, issue after issue... 

I like both creators but they lost control of what's happening what was happening.. or they seem that they're pretty bored with the title and don't even try anymore.

Let me say that it has lost its premise. It's gone. Anything and everything that was "promised" on volume 1 and anything that was interesting and made volume 1 SO good is.. gone!

The artwork stays great. The story is gone. I may be interested to buy the next volume on sale just cuz I'm curious but that's it. Sadly, the main plot is going nowhere for the last 10 issues or so. The couple was getting ready to form a team or some shit and we were getting these stupid flashbacks and stupid filler with new characters for so many issues and now Suze is BORED. She just don't wanna rob banks anymore and shit.

Great stuff huh?

Anyway, a joke here and there that makes you exhale through your nose.. and that's it. When your letters page is funnier than your book, you have a problem.

I'd say I hope it gets better but it's not interesting to me anymore.

3.5 stars. Fraction and Zdarsky compliment one another so well. In this volume, you see them break the 4th wall and insert themselves into the comic. There's pages and pages of them pausing the action to talk about their writing process and it's hilarious. Also in this volume we're introduced to Alix who is asexual. It was interesting to see that a character can have the same "powers" as Suzie and Jon without being sexually motivated. Volume 3 was more enjoyable than the previous one but not much happened in terms of plot just because there was a lot of scenes where Matt and Chip were talking which i loved! I'll be picking up volume 4 asap.
