Sex Criminals: Volume One: One Weird TrickSex Criminals: Volume One: One Weird Trick by Matt Fraction
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

"I know how this looks. Don't judge us."

This was probably the most original concept in a book I've seen in a while. Either that means we're all digging from the same brainspace or I need to expand my horizons. You decide.

I really liked both main characters. Suzie seemed a little more comfortable with her erotic side, but Jon was more comfortable with the idea of crime. It could have been the other way around and I still would've loved the complicated way they complimented each other. How completely human and believable.

You know what else surprised me? The authority represented. I just expected something the way Suzie kind-of imagined and it was really shocking when we discovered who they were.

The art was so/so for me. It wasn't by any stretch "bad," just not my cup of tea. While I did think the idea was crazy-refreshing, I don't know if I'll continue the series, but I'm really glad to have read this book.

Criteria: -Must be in a fantasy or period piece (exceptions where time-travel or feudalism is involved) . -Must wear some type of armor  (cloth, fur, etc. armor acceptable) . -Must actually be capable of fighting  (not just wearing armor for show). -Must wield a weapon other than a gun (i.e. a staff, a bow, a sword, etc) . They are listed alphabetically according to the movie or show they appeared in.  If you can think of anyone I've missed, feel free to leave a comment. ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭ ● ⛭
