The Eisner-and Harvey-award winning raucous sex comedy that Time magazine called the Comic of the Year and Apple called "inappropriate for sale on iOS devices" returns in Sex Criminals V3: Three the Hard Way. So it turns out Jon and Suzie aren't alone, other people around the world, like them, freeze time when they climax. A self-appointed group wants to regulate and control them through fear and intimidation. Jon and Suzie are falling in love and want their freak flags to fly, but if they're going to fight back they can't do it alone. And really, isn't that a metaphor for the whole series? That we might all be alone but we're all alone together? I think so. If you read only one comic with a semen-demon in it this year, please make it Sex Criminals V3: Three the Hard Way.… (more)

Just when I thought this series couldn't get any weirder, it does. With tentacles.

I really liked this volume, despite the several pages of the authors basically writing a conversation between themselves about a scene rather than trying to figure out how to actually write and draw the scene, which was kind of irritating. This volume also redeemed one of my earlier problems with the first volume, where Suzie basically judged and sex-shamed the porn store John was obsessed with. Ana and Suzie have it out (sort of -- see above comment on meta conversation between author and artist instead of the actual scene) and come to an agreement to try to be less judgey (Suzie), and more kind (Ana).

There's also the introduction of an asexual character who can also access the Quiet, and the aforementioned tentacled cum-spirit. Yeah, they went there.

I really want to find out what happens next. Ugh cliffhanger! ( )

In the previous comic, things were tense between Suzie and Jon. They weren't having sex for fear of being caught by the Sex police. Jon went back into therapy and his therapist told him to reconnect with old friends which he did when he ran into his old childhood friend Robert Rainbow who happened to be Suzie's gynecologist that she was out having coffee with. Suzie also reconnected with her old roommate Rachael who happened by and Robert and Rachael hit it off. They end up with a device that the Sex police use to find them in the Quiet Place when they have sex or masturbate. Jon sneaks into the Sex police office and steals files on people like them. One of them is his old kid fantasy porn star Ms. Jasmine-Ana-St. Cocaine-Kincaid. They go to her house to meet with her and see if she can help them. She is a teacher now.

They discover a man in Miami, Mr. Douglas Douglas, who takes care of his mother and works in an old folk home for a living in the files. Jon and Suzie want to head to Miami to see him and convince him to join their cause against the Sex police but Ana wants to know how they can afford to do this. When they tell her about their bank robbing gig she kicks them out and wants nothing to do with them.

Suzie and Jon head down to Miami and run into trouble with Mr. Douglas Douglas. He has an evil magical fairy with tentacles coming out of its vagina that will electrocute you that protects him. They must fight off this fairy and get nowhere with Douglas. Meanwhile, Myrtle Spurge of the Sex police is sleeping with Jon's therapist in order to get at his notes on Jon's sessions. Also, Robert is dealing with some hang-ups he has with Rachael's sexual past and his own desire for vanilla sex that he thinks she finds boring. Things are getting complicated with the addition of new players who have powers when they have sex, or as in the case of Alix, when she gets an adrenaline rush from falling off a bridge into the water below. They're going to need Ana, so can they mend fences with her? This series improves with each issue. There's a scene where the writer and artist have a conversation about not wanting to do a scene that is hilarious. They find new ways to make this comic fabulous. I highly recommend reading it. ( )
