Sex Criminals #19 Review

Writer: Matt Fraction / Artist: Chip Zdarsky / Image Comics Can I just state how hard I laughed at the title of this issue being “Down with the Thickness”? That’s gotta to be a reference to Disturbed’s single “Down with sickness” juxtaposed with “oooooh you gettin’ thick boi/girl”. I’m screaming from that shit. Anyhow, we open up with this issue with Jon and Suze back on their ol’ bullshit and meeting up with another person that can enter their own version of the quiet/ cum world. The problem here is that Suze doesn’t wanna be back on their ol’ bullshit. Suze is, in fact, upset because she was lead to believe they were off their ol’ bullshit and is now coming to find out that was indeed a lie (Of omission. Maaaaaan). There is a shitload of animosity Suze is harboring (rightfully so) at Jon, which isn’t great timing in front of their new, easily spooked guest. Yeah, this does not bode well for our fave couple at all. Meanwhile, Dr. Kincaid and Doc (nickname I’m assigning Jon’s therapist because I can’t remember his name at the moment) are out on a date and Kincaid’s blunt suggestion that Doc do more than just nod his head to what she expresses (as if she were a patient) open up a flood of though from the doctor. I believe this is the most we’ve ever seen of him talking and the hilarious part is that the caption bubbles contain so much of his thoughts that it takes up huge amounts of space on the page.

Zdarsky always finds a way to manipulate that Canvas and I loved this scene…
