One could argue that it is a rambling mess, but IMHO that's part of the charm of this series. Joe Casey even points this out in an answer to a letter published in issue 14: that he himself has no plan (unlike his other series, The Bounce) and that he lets the characters dictate the flow of the story. Works for me.

Still no reason for this title to be called SEX. All the sexy scenes look like they are traced from porn mags. The main character is a bore. In this world, anal sex is the most degrating thing that can happen to you. Yawn. However, what's happening with Keenan and Warren are interesting.

Disappointing sophomore slump for Joe Casey's graphic novel Sex. The second volume doesn't live up to the multi-layered complexities of the first one and doesn't even seem to have much in the way of plot either and the sex scenes themselves feel completely arbitrary. There's still some good content in there but it needs more focus as far as I'm concerned. But then this collection is two issues smaller than volume one so maybe volume three will be the comeback of the year.

I read the comic books Sex #9-14 which cover the content of volume 2 of Sex. We get to see more of Cooke's backstory as well as Keenan's. The Alpha twins continue doing thing their way regardless of the victims, and indeed the sensibilities of us readers! Keenan has a mission... deep undercover. And someone or someones are making moves against crime lord, The Old Man. Despite the highly graphic nature of the book it seems pretty it feels pertinent and essential to the developing stories. This se...

Book 1 was already kind of all over the place, but this volume makes even less sense. Even though i enjoy the separate "scenes", dig the art and love all the sex😁, there is a lack of coherence throughout the whole story, which makes it difficult to follow. It does not leave me curious about what's next to come whatsoever. At moments I wished the two criminal master mind brothers were the main characters instead of this boring, whiney, retired super hero, of whom we still know fuck all after two

While it is true that Casey doesn't live up the multi-layered complexities of the first book in its mani character, Casey also actually expands the universe from the relatively unlikable Cooke. One would not actually want a whole another of the limbo that Cooke was in as Casey did not make Cooke a particularly likable character. There is no hook, but the tropes are still being deconstructed. The sex in this volume is more contextual and less titillating, although a real flippant use of male-on-m...

"Sex" walks the line of previous Casey work like Wildcats 3.0 but, obviously, with a more adult tone. Reads like a cross between Astro City and Watchmen. Nice to have a regular Casey book available since "Godland" finished.

It would be nice if one of these characters or plot lines could get past their first act. Casey drives me crazy by creating compelling worlds and characters... and letting them linger. See also: The Intimates. See also: Manifest Eternity.

After really enjoying the first volume, I continued with volume two of Sex - which follows the life of a retired superhero now rediscovering the joys of a "normal" life.While I didn't enjoy the story as much as I did in book one as it doesn't progress as much - this volume concentrates on filling readers up on a bit of the backstory of the characters using flashbacks as a narrative device. On one hand, the dark pictures and the depiction of the inner life of the hero are excellent, some of the g...

Requisite "fluffer" (is THAT the correct term now? haha-hahaha!) volume. (Meaning: all fluff.) I was pretty sad to realize that this is NOT a trilogy (I nabbed all three volumes at my local library!), that this is not a full circle of a solid tale. No, of course not. So I guess the whole thing will become enlarged (zoink!)... and that's ok. I wonder when our protagonist will become the superhero he was destined to be. Ok, actually not really. But its okay that instead of the "Finding Me" tale, w...

Nothing happening. The pace is excruciatingly slow and there is not plot to follow.

much stronger outing than the first book, perhaps because the characters and universe are feeling more established

Some interesting concepts let down by the main character who is utterly boring which is a shame as there is a huge amount of potential here.

The Sex is a nice touch, but can't hide the fact that this book is still short on plot, even if it improved a little bit in that department since Vol 1.

This book has the pleasant good looks and interesting character of its predecessor ... but it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I couldn't tell you what the plot of this volume was, because there really wasn't one. Sure, a few things happen and are dealt with, but it didn't feel like there was any cohesion or any bigger picture.Maybe if I reread this and volume I back-to-back I'll get more out of it, but for now my reaction is, "Eh?"

The second volume of Joe Carey's series was disappointing. While the plot is good, the crude art is too much and the story doesn't hold it up. One star only ⭐️

The story is getting more and more fun, with plenty of serious stuff happening, while some characters receive the short end of the stick. Look at Warren and his club of horny old women, the Old Man's torturer gimp or the Japanese orgy gone wrong. Things are getting more interesting in Simon's company and also on the street where crime gangs are aiming for a war.Keenan was the youngest member in the team run by Quinn which included Simon. His meeting with Simon reveals the tension between them fr...

This was ok. I feel like the story was set up a little more but not too much has gone on yet to tell where things are going. Hopefully there will be more progression in the next volume.

Great book for adult reader types that enjoy erotic animation or late night adult swim...this series should become a real cartoon series on cartoon network or HBO would be dope...

Heavy on character development and world building for future story-lines.
