"Great fun!" -
The Miami Herald Named one of
Time Magazine's top 10 graphic novels for 2013!
Suzie's just a regular gal with an irregular gift: when she has sex, she stops time. One day she meets Jon and it turns out he has the same ability. And sooner or later they get around to using their gifts to do what we'd ALL do: rob a couple banks.
A bawdy and brazen sex comedy for comics begins here, by Matt Fraction (
Satellite Sam,
Hawkeye) and Chip Zdarsky (
Prison Funnies,
Monster Cops).
"On the surface, this is a hilarious story of two people, Suzanne and Jon, with the power to stop time after they orgasm, and then rob banks while (almost) everyone else is frozen in time, which is an amazingly original idea. But underneath that, this is a story of the beginning of a relationship: its exciting newness, its terrifying possibilities, its ups and downs, its secrets and understandings, and, of course, its sex." -

About the AuthorMatt Fraction writes comic books out in the woods and lives with his wife, writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, his two children, two dogs, a cat, a bearded dragon, and a yard full of coyotes and crows. Surely there's a metaphor there. He's a New York Times-best-selling donkus of comics like Sex Criminals (winner of the 2014 Will Eisner Award for Best New Series and named TIME Magazine's Best Comic of 2013), ODY-C, and Casanova. Under their company Milkfed Criminal Masterminds, Inc., Fraction and DeConnick are currently developing television for NBC/Universal.
Chip Zdarsky is the current writer of
Batman for DC Comics (somehow). For Image Comics he's the writer of
Newburn and the writer/illustrator of the award-winning
Public Domain.
His previous work includes an acclaimed run on
Daredevil and
Spider-Man: Life Story for Marvel, and he's the illustrator of Image Comics'
Sex Criminals--an Eisner Award winning series and
New York Times Bestseller (despite all the penis jokes).
