Umbrella Academy: 10 Obscure Comic Books Netflix Should Adapt Next

If there is one name that will always put a smile on the face of a comic fan, it would be Matt Fraction.

A modern legend in the world of comic books. Fraction is probably best known for creating one of the greatest volumes of a comic book series ever in his modern-classic turn as the mastermind behind Hawkeye Volume 4. However, for all the awards and acclaim Fraction found himself with Hawkeye, it arguably pales in comparison to his magnum opus - Sex Criminals, which he co-created alongside writer/artist Chip Zdarsky.

A sharp, sexy and engaging story, Sex Criminals details the relationship between Suzie and Jon, two people who share the ability to freeze time when they orgasm. Too weird again? Noted. It is from this unique shared superpower that Sex Criminals builds one of the most consistently fresh comic books of recent years, a deeply compelling story of risk and sexual exploration masquerading under a facade of crass jokes and knowing winks.

Netflix loves to take risks, and they would also seem to adore ideas that make the most out of single great ideas, and it is in this exploration of high-concept ideas that Sex Criminals reveals itself as one of the best stories you can read in a comic right now, and one that has enough potential to change the way that audiences perceive sex and romance forever.
