#233, “Sex Criminals / Deadly Class: Sex Class”

Published: June 15, 2015, 5:52 a.m.

 

Welcome to sex class. Today, Paul and AJ will be teaching you about the repr--wait, no, sorry, that's later this season. This week, we're indulging in a four-color Geek Challenge: AJ must read the run so far of Rick Remender and Wes Craig's Deadly Class, about a wayward teen boy recruited by a school for assassins in the late '80s; and Paul must read all ten current issues of Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky's Sex Criminals, in which two lovers stop time when they come. (That one'll actually teach you a thing or two.) The boys discuss the two Image series, their raw honesty, their radically different yet equally beautiful art styles, and their ridiculously filthy jokes. Plus, there's talk of films about damaged musicians (Love and Mercy and Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck) and a sentient robot (Ex Machina).

Next: on top of Jurassic World, lookin' down on creation.
