Sex Criminals is a comic book series published by American company Image Comics. It is written by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Chip Zdarsky. The first key issue was published on September 25th, According to the American Library Association , the hardcover release Big Hard Sex Criminals was the seventh most banned and challenged book in the United States due to being considered sexually explicit. Suzie, a librarian , and Jon, an actor , meet at a party and end up sleeping together. Later shocked to discover that they share the ability to freeze time when they orgasm.
In , Suzie Dickson was a normal middle-class middle-school girl when her father was killed in a random act of workplace violence. In the aftermath of his death, Suzie's mother began drinking heavily and their relationship suffered; Suzie was particularly bothered that instead of talking, her mother would pretend she was fine and then wait until Suzie left the room to break down. Suzie found that if she drew a bath and ducked under the surface, she couldn't hear anything, and took to doing this at night so she couldn't hear her mother crying. And then one night as she submerged herself, Suzie's "lower region" slid a little too close to the running water , if you get the meaning. Having heard the standard gossip, she understood what was going to happen, and then it did. But as she exited the tub, she realized something truly weird had occurred: accompanied by swirling lights and silence, time had stopped for the world and everyone in it but her. Finally, she decided on a regimen of "private research" to document the effects of "The Quiet", as she called it. But after compiling a list of results, she had no idea how to organize it until a trip to the local library introduced her to a method of cataloging the data, which began a life-long fondness for libraries. At a fundraising party she meets an interesting man named Jon, who wears glasses and can quote Lolita ; one thing leads to another Jon can do it too.
