Sex Criminals (2013)

A sex comedy that turned out to be one of the decade's kindest books about intimacy. Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky's Image series, launched in September 2013, follows a librarian and an actor who discover they freeze time when they climax, and decide to rob his bank to save her library. Time named it the top comic of 2013 and it won the 2014 Eisner for Best New Series. Zdarsky's background gags reward a second read, and the bluntness is the point, so this is strictly for adults. The first collection is the best place to decide whether it is for you.
