The vagina tentacles in this volume terrified me to my very core. This series is so ridiculously weird.

Sex Criminals volume 3
Hilarious. Entertaining. And very phallic 🤣🤣🤣

Just incredible—funny, witty, SEXY, thoughtful, heartbreaking. Gotta get my hands on the fourth volume. [image: a copy of Sex Criminals, vol. 3, laying against a pillow on a bed.]
Murchie got soooooo embarrassed when I made him pose with SEX CRIMINALS. #murchieplusbooks
Well duh, of course the relief for my reading consternation is comics. Don't know why I didn't think of it before. 💭
I think I might be done with this series. I loved the first volume felt okay about the second and with this one I just have no real desire to go further. I was excited about a lot of the ideas about sex and sexuality being represented but they are so buried in the d*ck jokes and I'm just over it. Also, there's an author self-insert section that they try to play off as cute and meta, but really it's just lazy; makes the creators seem over it too.
No idea what drew me to read this series tonight, but I appreciated the asexual character in this volume!
Hoopla doesn't have Vol. 2, so I missed some stuff between Vol. 1 and this one
This was a very interesting volume. Same type of humour throughout and fairly consistent in style and storyline from the previous two. I always enjoy searching for the little jokes in the background! This one, was also very meta, which made it both interesting and a little bit frustrating if I'm being honest. Still a good volume and good graphic novel run.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
And now for something light. #currentlyreading #graphicnovel
Alright, this was a bit better. The plot got back on track. 3 stars.
I'm so proud of my library for buying this - I thought they were too old fashioned 😂 it's been awhile since I read volume 1&2, and I found the narration style somewhat choppy as it moved between character POV but I was entertained. Also really enjoyed learning about the drawing process, and how Chip recruited the people that Suzie and Jon are based on.
This volume was way more meta than previous installments, almost annoyingly so. Almost. Still, I enjoy the hell out of this series. I really like the introduction of Alix and am interested to see what she and Doug are about in FL. I also like the changes Suze instigates. I look forward to volume 4.
As far as plot goes, this volume didn't feel as strong as the previous two. BUT the introduction of an asexual character more than made up for that, for me. Alix works through similar struggles I've had and seeing her work through them and overcome them and voice her confidence in her asexuality was just really great to read. 👍
I really like Jon and Suzie. This was an interesting collection, and I'm curious to see where the story is going from here.
When does volume 4 come out again? 😉
#readathon #deweys24hourreadathon this is my third book. I like it more the first two volumes but I will still wait for volume 4. Hopefully I will enjoy more
I got a bit hung up on Robert Rainbow for today's names thing (because that's a GREAT name), but I don't own either of the SEX CRIMINALS volumes in which he appears so @bookishnerd kindly offered to make Mackie pose with them! #booktober #bestcharactername
Dear Sex Criminals,
It is understandably hard to stay witty, funny, fresh and sharp, but yet at volume three you make me laugh and most importantly care for your brilliant characters. Kudos for all the subplots, meta stuff and commentary on sex and sexuality.
That time there was a Little Free Library in Sex Criminals.😂😂😂
An awesome addition to the series. It's hilarious, heartfelt, and meta as all hell, with plenty of commentary on both sex and comics as a medium.
I'm glad Fraction & Zdarsky address asexuality, too. It would've been easy for them to ignore the issue, given the series' premise (some people can stop time with their orgasms), but they don't and I love them for it.
If you'd rather not see penises, proceed with caution. There're TONS in here. TONS.
Not the best volume but not bad, just not a lot happened.
Comedy is hard. Sex can be hard to talk about. Fraction and Zdarsky take both on again in the 3rd volume of Sex Criminals. I could just make a bunch of sex puns but instead I'll say, Three The Hard Way sets our protagonists up for what can only promise to be an amazing...climax? DANGIT. Using the medium in fun ways, these anti heroes aren't gritty jerks you want to maybe fail. You just want them to sort their stuff out and be happy.
I love that Little Free Libraries are a subplot in this comic now 😂
This is still my favorite comic.
Didn't enjoy this as much as the previous volumes and now I'm scared this comic has run its course with me.
This installment was much weirder than the first two, and not necessarily in a good way. Still worth the read, but not quite as enjoyable in my opinion. Lots of random jumping around in the timeline and some meta stuff.
Stopped at Barnes and Noble today. Eight books and who knows how many dollars later (the husband and I made our purchases separately)...
There is a part that gets meta and hilarious. You all probably can tell by now I'm working on my comics stack. So enjoy all the updates today!
Vol. 3 went a bit too meta for my taste, but, you guys.
This book. This fucking book. If you haven't read this series (and if your sensibilities aren't too delicate- let's be real, these books are filthy) go read it right now. #recommendsday #highbrowlit
When the new volume of Sex Criminals is finally available at the library but your mom is in town and staying in your apartment.... 😁 #highbrowlit
FINALLY got my hands on Sex Criminals Volume 3 🙌🏻 I feel like the release date kept getting pushed back (yes, I know I could have bought the individual comics while waiting 🙈). Time to pour a glass of wine & devour this one. Because who doesn't love a couple who has sex, stops time & robs banks?
A little dirtier and weirder than the previous volumes, but still fun. The meta section in the middle had me laughing out loud.
Some much anticipated bookmail this morning!
Always glad to maintain a steady diet of graphic novels #ncbd
