SEX CRIMINALS (2013)
"FINAL ISSUE! SERIES FINALE in which we skip ahead 39 issues and check in with how it all ends up a few years down the line. SPOILERS: pretty okay?"
"For our grand finale, we finally tricked comics' darling junior ingénue JAMIE McKELVIE, of THE WICKED + THE DIVINE, into doing one of these. Since he's only a teen, we assumed it's only a double-X-rated cover instead of the triple-X covers you've come to expect. He's trying! "

Sex Criminals #1 (Mature)
"A SEX COMEDY FOR COMICS Suzie's a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she has sex, she stops time. One night she meets John... who has the same gift. And so they do what any other sex-having, time-stopping, couple would do: they rob banks. In the vein of THE 40-YEAR OLD VIRGIN and BRIDESMAIDS, Image Comics invites you to come along with MATT FRACTION (Hawkeye, SATELLITE SAM) and CHIP ZDARSKY (Prison Funnies, Monster Cops) for the series that puts the 'comic' back in 'comics' and the 'sexy' back in 'sex crimes.'"

Sex Criminals #2 (Mature)
"So who's the boy with the same sexy-time time-stopping gifts as Suzie? Meet John, who until last night thought he could freeze time with his junk. At long last not alone, what kind of horny hijinx will he and Suzie get up to together? What ANY of us would do if having sex stopped the whole world: We'd do crimes. "

Sex Criminals #3 (Mature)
"How did these two end up in that bank, with those guns? Because they seemed like such nice kids, right? Well, THE SEX POLICE have the same questions and descend on Susie and Jon. And we get the rest of Jon's gory story - if you read ONE weird sex and time comedy comic this year, make sure it's 'My Sexual Errors 1998 - Present!'"

Sex Criminals #4 (Mature)
"She can seemingly control time and space with her...parts. She's as relentless a manhunter as law enforcement ever created. And by day she's no one you'd particularly notice, with her quiet suburban life and pleasant-enough job, but when the temporal dimension is used to break society's laws they call...HER. Jon and Suzie get in too deep way too fast as one little sexy fun party crime begets another and the villains of the piece descend. Turns out Jon and Suzie aren't the only ones after all "
-
Sex Criminals #5 (Mature)
"The best part of a new relationship is the first three weeks, right? The rush of the new, the gravitational pull of the sudden other-ness in your life, the almost-illicit charge of nothing else mattering...and then it's time to pay the bills. Well, the honeymoon is over for the SEX CRIMINALS. Can Jon and Suzie survive Jon and Suzie?"
-
Sex Criminals #6 (Mature)

Sex Criminals #11 (Mature)
"NEW STORY! NEW STARTING POINT! SAME OLD MATT AND CHIP. Jon and Suzie have a special gift: when they have sex, they stop time. Turns out they're not alone. Get on board the book that's been called 'hilarious' and 'arousing' - and you could win $1000 dollars. ONE of these randomly selected SPECIAL POLYBAGGED ISSUES contains $1000. Seriously. Lots of comics want you to speculate about getting rich. We just want to artificially inflate our sales for a month and MAKE you rich(er). This is not a joke."
