Reviews
"DEPROG #1 takes the best aspects of the hard-boiled detective narrative--memorable characters navigating intriguing conflicts--and injects a tantalizing dose of queer erotica that will leave you jonesing for more." --Jeremy Holt, Made in Korea, Gatsby, What If?...Venom
"Tina Horn, Lisa Sterle, and Gab Contreras find room for joy, self-realization, and hard truths through the power of queer, kinky sex and self-examination. Seriously, this book is incredibly quotable and funny too."--Graphic Policy
"I am glad this exists, because it's fun to see a classic noir detective story with a lesbian of color as the main character, not to mention a genderqueer femme fatale. This is a dark, erotic, surprising, and disturbing read, perfect for fans of queer noir."--The Lesbrary
"SFSX radically vacillates between extreme pleasure and extreme pain." -- CBR
"A celebration of the way queer people, sex workers, and other sexual outsiders are always at the forefront of advancing our cultural ideas about sex and pleasure." -- Teen Vogue
"A timely, thoughtful meditation on sexuality, society, and freedom. A powerful mix of satire, theory, and great storytelling." --Adventures in Poor Taste
"An action adventure horror comic with didactic layers, Safe Sex feels deeply relevant." -- LA Review of Books
"If any comic-book lover thinks SFSX is a far-fetched dystopia, they haven't been paying attention." -- Playboy
"Part-heist, part-fascist hellscape, and one hundred percent sexual revolution, SfSx is unlike any comic you've ever read--and you're going to want to pick up the trade paperback edition... effortlessly captures the feeling of this revolutionary and terrifying moment in time". -- SyFy Wire
"Readers with a yen for third-wave feminist fury will find plenty to enjoy in these porn-friendly adventures." -- Publisher's Weekly
"This story is from a sex worker's perspective written by someone who has lived this life. The protagonists do go through hardships and trauma, but I appreciated the distinction (made) that the hardship doesn't come from sex work on its own, but the stigma people in our society put on sex workers." -- Jezebel
"Twists that could only show up in a 21st-century sci-fi story written by a queer sex worker.... SfSx is a crime thriller rooting for the criminals, an urgent reminder that the cyberpunk dystopia is already here." -- Daily Dot
