COMICS IN THE CAN- Episode II (Sex #10)

COMICS IN THE CAN
I used to have time to read my comics in a coffee shop. Now I have to read them in the bathroom. Then I write reviews of them. I wash my hands in between.

SEX #10

OK, so technically this came out LAST week, but I’m not going to wait another month before talking about sex in this column so deal with it.

I hope you’re reading this book. I really do. If only for the simple reason that there should be more unabashed sex comics from mainstream publishers today. Yes, I know there are already a bunch, but we need them to LAST. I don’t know about you, dear reader, but for me, time is marching on. Every day I’m 24 hours closer to being worm food and I do not have time for the c***-teases the likes of which Zenescope puts out multiple times a month. I want to see the GOODS.

Now the last issue was aces for that. It was the big Bacchanalia party (seeing a trend in these reviews? Maybe it’s because my Very Special Lady is of an exotic, Mediterranean origin…but I digress) . There was full frontal fabulousness on just about every panel. And some Caligula level debauchery to boot. Issue 10 though, is kinda like…semi-meh. 

How do I explain this? 

Ok, so you lock yourself in with your Very Special Person for a marathon session of boot knocking and the first time you do it is awesome, the second time you do it is awesome, the third and fourth time you do it are also awesome. Then you get to about three in the morning, you’re kinda spent and sleepy and yet your partner wants to do it one more time because she just watched a couple episodes of Jem & The Holograms on Netflix and wants to call you ‘Rio’ so you do it for her, and its also awesome, but less so? THAT’S what issue 10 is like. 

What? That’s not a good example?

So some more non-sex based plot happens in this issue. A Japanese conglomerate wants to buy out Simon Cooke’s company. Lorraine (Baines, also Marty McFly’s mom’s maiden name from ‘Back to the Future’), Simon’s assistant has some decent character development and sex with this guy from the Mayor’s office. Simon rubs one out in the shower thinking about last issue’s sex party. Some other stuff happens with the peripheral characters but not enough to bother relating here. 

FUN FACT LEARNED THIS ISSUE: Puking on your partner during the act of lovemaking is NOT considered scatological. Thanks, thinly veiled Catwoman rip off!
