EISNER AWARD WINNING, NYT BESTSELLING SERIES SEX CRIMINALS RETURNS IN JANUARY 2020 FROM IMAGE COMICS

The highly anticipated return of Eisner Award winning, #1 New York Times bestselling romance/humor series Sex Criminals—by Matt Fraction (November, Hawkeye) and Chip Zdarsky (Daredevil)—will kick off again with issue #26 in January 2020 from Image Comics and begin its final story arc.

“Working with Matt again is like riding a bicycle: I can’t do it. It hurts my body and I’m constantly scared," said Zdarsky.

Fraction added: “Riding a bike is just like working with Chip Zdarsky: it’s really cool, and I want all my friends to see me doing it, and it once busted out all my front teeth! We make a comic called Sex Criminals! I love Chip! Siri stop dictation stop stop no Siri stop stop.”

Praised for its emotionally compelling characters, taut storytelling, and comedic genius, Time Magazine called it “the best comic of the year” upon launch. Since its debut, Sex Criminals has garnered coverage from such mainstream media outlets as Entertainment WeeklyRolling StoneNPR, and The Washington Post and won multiple awards.

"Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky seem determined to upend every stereotype about carnal entertainment. Sex Criminals bubbles over with joyous energy. Fraction provides a charming concept and brisk storyline." —NPR

“A precision-tuned screwball comedy on its surface, and that surface is gorgeous, thanks to Zdarsky’s ace sense of design and inventive color technique.” —TIME Magazine

“An honest, heartfelt story about relationships that was more John Hughes than John Holmes.” —USA Today

“Zdarsky’s fluid, brightly hued artwork is dense with smutty gags, but this is a deeper, more understated comedy than it initially seems.” —The New York Times

“Wildly imaginative, randy and true…Zdarsky’s staging, storytelling, and character designs make this even crazier. Great fun!” —Miami Herald

"Matt Fraction seems to have a knack for taking things we may have an overly romanticized view of and absolutely normalizing it while still keeping it in its fantastical setting. Which is to say that he makes characters that are believable and real without making them dark and cynical, something I would love to see from every writer." —The Mary Sue
