Matt and Chip are back again with the continuing escapades of Suzie and Jon. Our intrepid Sex Criminals are starting to put their save the Library plan into action. Well first there is a little coaxing from Jon and this takes place in one of the SC's flashback scenes that have become an integral of the series storytelling. The ability to jump through time helps keep you on your visual toes and thankfully the narrative never appears to lose pace during the jumps. 

The preamble in this issue is titled Preembus and takes the form of some sort of poem. I have to admit maybe its my age but I have no idea what is going on in this section. Its a fun read but not as informative as previous introductions. This does however show why Fraction is such a great writer. He is daring and when we throw Zdarsky and his visuals into the mix you really find a match made in Cumworld.

There is however one slight worry. The story is in danger of becoming stale. The pay-offs need to come quickly or else this story runs the danger of finishing limply. I do have faith in the team and a new and interesting twist has been added to the story in the form of Rachel. Actually I do not know what I'm talking about and should just sit back and let the story run its course with me hanging on to its shirt tails.

The cover for this issue is quite telling. The first three were a mix of colour and white with our main characters etched across them. This cover however is darker and the face is not Suzie's (or is it?).  

* I do apologise for the Innuendo/puns in this article.
