Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky - Big Hard Sex Criminals vol 1

Well, I was sceptical about this one for what are probably pretty obvious reasons. The blurb on the back cover tempered that slightly, but only slightly: "It's a 'graphic novel' about a couple who stop time when they orgasm, so they rob banks." But actually this turned out to be a solid recommendation/loan, with well drawn (both senses) main characters and nice depictions of some classic themes (of literature, and I imagine including of graphic novels): discovering sex, while discovering oneself, and then the search for love as a youngish adult; cutely, Lolita brings them together.
