About Sex Criminals
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. Written by Fraction with artwork from Zdarsky, Sex Criminals first released in September 2013 and lasted until October 2020 after 31 issues with the final issue aptly number 69 (after skipping 39 issues).
