The art team did a wonderful job bringing both the eye-catching alien worlds and sexy stuff to life throughout. It’s weird and zany and risqué and at least a little crass (an ancient alien priest uses his giant magical testicles to fight an army of evil soldiers at one point; I can’t make this up) but it’s also somehow genuine and sincere and I can’t believe how invested I was in the colorful cast of characters that Tim Seeley, Sarah Beattie, Rebekah Isaacs, and Kurt Michael Russell concocted.

Deus Sex Machina: The Fish People are led by Warlord Priest Daughir who killed the Podna Megra monks and imprisoned the last Bokai Elder, the only living master of the Podna Megra technique, an orgasm that can generate the energy release on the level of nuclear fission. She pulled the technique from his mind before he became impotent and plans to use it to further control the planet by making herself be the only one to able blast through the earth to get the water buried underneath as well as destroy her enemies. But she needed Christine and Omar to have sex with since everyone else on the planet sees sex as purely functional.For a book so concerned with sex, it’s suprising how little sex there actually is in it, and how conventional its idea of sex is. But We Used a Condom!: Christina starts displaying symptoms of an STI, which leads to much angsting about her putting herself, her team and other alien races are risk, despite using a condom. Annie has to remind her that condoms don't protect against everything. Fortunately, it just turned out to be a UTI. Take That!: Kirk-Supporters are a clear jab at Trump-Supporters; a group of intolerant bigots who are willing to protest anything that offends their personal sensibilities (including scientific-intellectuals, religious and racial minorities) and use the Bible to try and justify it, only to immediately switch gears the moment their figure-head (Luke Kirk) openly contradicts them. I liked Seeley's Revival, a nice piece of urban horror. I liked Sex Criminals, a soft-porn-humor comic. (Though both faded before their end.)

Now, in a time when Fart Jar Girl was hospitalized and it was a news story, there's something very believable about this. Commitment Issues: Christine broke it off with Omar because the relationship was getting too serious and was afraid of maintaining it. Omar gives this advice to Bree (who's seeing Christine) that Christine's constantly looking for distractions to avoid commitment.

This is by Seeley. This is soft-porn humor. This is also just junk. The characters are unlikable or at the least you don't care about them. The soft porn isn't titillating (and is largely elided). The science-fiction world is mostly made up of juvenile jokes. The plot isn't interesting. In short, this is dull. Set in the near future, with the awareness of an advanced alien civilization from outer space, the Earth fails to prove itself worthy of joining the civilised universe, due to hundreds of wars, led by greedy politicians and fumbling to advance technologically. As space travel is ludicrously expensive and largely ignored within an economically crippled America, Christine Ocampo – inventor of the Star Shot Teleportation Device – comes up with a big idea: Chris and her team of scientists will travel to new worlds, engage intimately with local aliens and film their exploits for a jaded populace trying to find something new on the Internet. In the near future, space travel is ludicrously expensive and largely ignored. Enter Christine Ocampos, inventor of the Star Shot teleportation device with a big idea: She'll travel to new worlds, engage―intimately―with local aliens, and film her exploits for a jaded earth populace trying to find something new on the internet. Now, Chris and her merry band of scientist-cum-pornstars explore the universe, each other, and the complexities of sex in MONEY SHOT!

Money Shot, vol. 2 - Collects #6-10. "Just as the XXX-plorers get into the groove of funding science with sex, the man who helped take away all their funding in the first place demands to join the team: The President of the Damn United States. Now saddled with pretty much the worst person in the whole country, the group must overcome interpersonal strife, STD fears, and chainsaw genitalia to convince the universe that we don't deserve to be eradicated." - FEB211621 - WorldCat - ISBN 9781939424730 - Kindle Seeley added, “And, so, now that’s what we’re asking of comic book retailers and fans. Look past your preconceptions. Join us. It’s not porn. It’s about porn. It’s about us.” There's also some element where aliens came to Earth, discovered humans bad, and want nothing to do with us. Which is okay, but feels a little done, as an idea, that humans are actually the trailer park denizens of the cosmos. Ah, but there is the alien wildcard! Just imagine what you could do with this idea. Alien sex! How do aliens have sex? Do they even have something resembling sex? How do their genitals work, and more importantly, how does inter-species sex even work? How do you even broach the subject suggesting to have sex with them..?Co-written by Tim Seeley and Sarah Beattie, the sexual adventures of these human scientists approaching the various types of aliens with such intimacy is not far from the Erotic science-fiction television series Emmanuelle in Space. The relationship between all five scientists throws in a lot of emotions, most notably humour with how the different character dynamics bounce off one another, each with their own quirks. There may have their squabbles, such as their good intentions of a better world can lead to disastrous results, I wished the writers pushed the complications of their relationships further, instead of becoming somewhat like the Fantastic Four, only with their brains and sexual organs to save the day. I think I've said it before when reviewing Sex Criminals; sex in and of itself isn't a very interesting subject, it doesn't seem to lend itself very well to generating stories - relationships do.

Money Shot Comes Again Revives the Sexy Sci-Fi Comic Series

Mix-and-Match Critters: The gladiator creature Bweedt looks like an orca with the body of a giant tiger. Physicist Dr. Christine Ocampo is on a mission to discover distant worlds, encounter exotic civilizations, seek out strange species, and, well, get busy with them. Space exploration is expensive business, but science calls and porn pays. The answer might be that the initial adventure runs five issues, and I think this is a case where length would have benefited the reader, and given Seeley more space to work with. Five issues is not much space to get in a story and introduce five characters to the reader. Much less do enough character work to get a reader to get very invested in the players. Money Shot, vol. 3 - Collects #11-15. "With a founding member on the outs, Chris seeks a replacement whose hotness might melt the ice caps. But when the earth is overrun by a vicious species that can't be reasoned with or sexed up, the fractured team will have to hold together long enough to (un)screw the entire planet." - NOV211792 - WorldCat - ISBN 9781638490821 - KindleIsaacs stated: “I think it’s really important to have more representations of sexuality that isn’t presented as dirty and shameful or exclusively fetishistic in all American media, but especially comics.” In the near future, space travel is ludicrously expensive and largely ignored. Enter Christine Ocampos, inventor of the Star Shot teleportation device with a big idea: She'll travel to new worlds, engage--intimately--with local aliens, and film her exploits for a jaded earth populace trying to find something new on the internet. Now, Chris and her merry band of scientist-cum-pornstars explore the universe, each other, and the complexities of sex in MONEY SHOT! I think the general idea works, sort of. Scientists decide to make intergalactic pornography, which will gain them a lot of cash because people are tired of every other kind of pornography? Personally, I like the concept. In the near future a scientist, who is not very popular with her peers hits on long range teleportation. But, how to get her friends, which includes a former lover, on board with working out the kinks and finding the funding for this endeavor? Gag Penis: In this case, a Gag Scrotum. The Bokai Elder's balls are each bigger than his head, and can be swung as a weapon.
