A sex-positive comic about a librarian having hot sex with a banker who secretly hates his job? Yes please! The graphics were wonderful, the story was really gripping, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next issue. Probably the best comic I've read to date. A comic to convert non-comic readers.

nice quick read, took like an hour, or a little less. i got his as a christmas gift and i wasn't expecting to like it as much as i did (which was a LOT!) great comic. i'll keep reading it when i remember to.
also, chip zdarsky draws The Quiet/Cumworld really well, and there are lots of funny details to look out for in the background of most panels

Loved the idea, unfortunately in the end it felt a little bit rushed.

The premise is fairly silly but the story is fun and I like the art work. The dialogue between the main characters is well written which helps to sustain the daft bits of the story.

Fraction presents such an absurd concept it's almost impossible not to follow along with reckless abandon and find yourself swept away with the frivolity of it all. Zdarsky does a brilliant job of delineating between past and present, as well as within 'The Quiet' and the outside world. Beautiful art, hilarious writing, a lot of fun!

Starts off strong and slowly gets goofier. Fresh concept, enjoyable characters, plenty of laughs to be found in this trade.
