Intersect #1 (2014)

Cover:

It’s a mass of images of something or other.

Plot:

Two people seem to be running away from monsters and one may have another personality?  Beats me.

Writing:

Incompressible.

Our Hero:

It’s someone… that’s all I can be sure of.

Our Villain:

I think it might be Silent Hill, because honestly, everything would make sense if they are all trapped in Silent Hill.

Our Side Characters:

????

Action:

Great falling action!

Dialogue:

Who and what are you people talking about?!

Art:

Equally incompressible.

Most Memorable Moment:

That whole page about dream tips and saying to wake up 10 times.

Final Page:

Vague, unidentifiable people/creatures on a rooftop.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

This book requires multiple reads…

What We Do Take From This Comic:

…but there’s nothing in the book that makes you want to reread it.

Yay or Nay?

Nay?

Sex Criminals #9 (2014)

Cover:

Thank you well placed martini glass.

Plot:

Time for flashbacks that add nothing to the story!  Hip hip hooray!

Writing:

Flashback to pad things out a bit since there’s apparently not much story going on.

Our Hero:

So she was a sex hound… okay then.

Our Villain:

Somewhere off doing probably more interesting things.

Our Side Characters:

Non-existent.

Action:

Okay, now here’s where the sex that wasn’t in #8 was hiding in.

Dialogue:

It certainly is dialogue that I’m reading.

Art:

That’s artwork alright.  If only something stood out about it.

Most Memorable Moment:

To be perfectly honest, sex wouldn’t really make The Wicked + The Divine all that interesting.

Final Page:

Well wasn’t that just abrupt.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

Suzy back in the day was a sex-hound (not that she didn’t already have a lot of sex in her past mind you), but most importantly, the Jon and Suzy are going to fight back against the Sex Police for screwing with them after they screwed them over to begin with! …wait what?

What We Do Take From This Comic:

That’s a lot of sex.

Yay or Nay?

Nay

Sex Criminals #8 (2014)

Cover:

It certainly is a cover that much is for sure.

Plot:

Time to get into some personal drama and just dick around in it for a while.  Yes that pun was intended.

Writing:

…I read it, but it went one eye and then out almost immediately out the other.

Our Heroes:

Oh no, your precious library is getting knocked down!  I feel so bad for you after you committed attempt robbery, assault, and home invasion.

Our Villain:

To be perfectly honest, I’m siding with them on this.

Our Side Characters:

Frankly, I think it might be malpractice to invite everyone on staff to look at your patient’s vagina.

Action:

Not much sex in the whole Sex Criminals title… same with the criminal angle.

Dialogue:

I think this is supposed to be funny, but I couldn’t tell you if it was.

Art:

So many panels with so many dialogue balloons… it never ends…

Most Memorable Moment:

The most awkward moment of a young kid’s life.

Final Page:

“Those motherfuckers”?  I’m sorry, but I’m siding with them on this.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

People have a lot of shit going on in their lives and it really affects in different ways.  Some able to move past while some are unable to.

What We Do Take From This Comic:

I wonder where the “sex” and “criminals” part of Sex Criminals have run off to?

Yay or Nay?

Nay
