"RISK"-Trapped and confronted with their worst nightmares, the Dirty Mind team resorts to desperate measures to get out of the Pleasure Center intact-with possibly fatal consequences.
I was a little thrown by the resurgence of the excessive bold text in this issue, especially since it seemed to have disappeared after the first issue. I know it sounds like such a little thing, but when your images tell more of the story than your words do, you need to be sure that those words are formatted in a way which doesn't mar the flow of the narrative. There were a few 'deus ex machina's in this issue"Powell falling for the 'villain monologues and allows prisoners to escape' trope, Sylvia falling for Jones' emotional 180, ***SPOILERS*** Nick effectively falling on his sword for the benefit of the group"which makes the book lose points for predictability, but the power behind the story still obtains.

This comic is a tough read at times, but that's honestly the beauty of it, and why it is one of the most compelling indies on stands right now. Read Full Review
SFSX (Safe Sex) #6 doubles down on the shared histories and deep bonds between its cast of characters, while pushing to a new place as an action comedy, all layered on top of the smart ideas at the core of this book. Read Full Review
A rollicking ride as two sides go to war to impose/defend their way of living. Fluid artwork coupled with didatic storytelling come together to produce an entertaining, compelling (if one sided) story of sex and freedom. Read Full Review
Now that the series crawls out of the Pleasure Center with new revelations, Horn and Hickman can start to move the series in a new direction that takes into account a larger perspective on the world of SFSX. Its been a strangely-paced journey into a dystopia thus far. A lot of the basic elements of the world have been rendered now. Itll be interesting to see where the story moves from here. Theres a potential danger in repetition as the fugitives continue to explore the edges of the dystopia. Still, Horn and Hickman seem to have a solid grasp of where theyre going with the story in an issue that has an excellent progression. Read Full Review
SFSX #6 continues the dirty dystopia's struggle for freedom. The Dirty Mind team's plan isn't going as planned but it was obvious the Party wasn't going down without a fight. The big reveals of this issue were slightly expected, but the conclusion doesn't close the door on there being more surprises to come. Read Full Review
While this issue had the makings of some huge emotional moments, things didn't deliver as intended. Read Full Review
