But it’s also genuinely insightful about the ways sexuality shapes people, and it doubles as a love letter to analog media...” —Douglas Wolk, TIME “…where so much media—and erotica—tends to be as humorless about sex as a gym teacher in health class, Sex Criminals does something very different, and refreshing: It turns to look sex in the eye—and laughs.” —Laura Hudson, Wired.
