    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Dec 18, 2019

    The story could go in a variety of different directions in future issues. Horn and Dowling keep it fresh from issue to issue. There might be a bit of a lack of energy as the break-in is planned, but The central drama involving George makes this a really interesting issue. Read Full Review

    On Comics Ground - Elizabeth Fazzio Dec 20, 2019

    I appreciate the extras at the end of the issues of SFSX, because they lend an extra layer of grounding humanity to the overall experience. The "Hey, we're here, and we're gonna tell you about it" attitude of the book as a whole is highlighted by these little vignettes, and because sex (apart from the run-of-the-mill stuff they teach you about in 5th grade) is generally something society whispers rather than shouts about, I find the little bit of middleground to be a good segue into the story. Yes, I read the back pages first. I'm a grownup. I'm allowed. Read Full Review

    Comics: The Gathering - Jay Hill Dec 19, 2019

    The plan to infiltrate the Party and break into the Pleasure Center has been mapped out. This was the issue required after the last issue's look back; it moves the story forward with skill. And, the tragic scenes of George’s current ordeal made the stakes clearer than ever. With the plan being to rescue him and Jones, and given Jones’ action in this issue, you have to wonder can they actually save them both? Read Full Review

    I Review Comics Dec 22, 2020

    SFSX is a weirdly awesome reading experience especially if you're a fan of film and a bit of a freak in your downtime. It's easily one of the most unique series I've read in a long time.

    This issue splits it's time between Avory and her crew as they plan to rescue Jonesy (presumably brainwashed) and George who has been held captive by "The Party". The rest of the comic splits time between flashback's to Georges early days at "The Dirty Mind" and how he met Avory. We also see what goes into the Reformation process as Jone's attempts to break George from his deviant tendencies.

    The reformation segment's are pretty brutal if you're squeamish to pain like I am. I imagine it may also be a turn on depending on your kinks. more
