Another Image comic, written by leftists, is being adapted to TV

The Hollywood Reporter says Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky's Sex Criminals is being adapted to television, making it the next Image-sponsored comic I know of to have an adaptation of recent for live action:

The Amazon-owned streamer has picked up an eight-episode show based on the acclaimed Image Comics title Sex Criminals by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky. Kumail Nanjiani, Emily V. Gordon (The Big Sick) and Tze Chun (Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai) are co-creators of the series, and Nanjiani is also set for an acting role.

Sex Criminals centers on Suze, “a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she has sex, she stops time,” the show’s logline reads. “One night, she meets Jon, who has the same gift. And so they do what any other sex-having, time-stopping couple would do: They rob banks.”

[...] Sex Criminals was first published in 2013 to critical acclaim and earned two Eisner Award nominations. Fraction and his wife and fellow comic writer, Kelly Sue DeConnick, previously had an adaptation of the comic in development at Universal Television in the mid-2010s, but the project didn’t move forward.

Wow, these are some of the most overrated scribes of the past decade or so. And even if this is supposed to be comedy, why must we take pleasure in couples who commit robbery? Or why must we consider it funny? This sounds like another overrated production that spotlights crooks more than heroes too, and that's another problem with modern cinema and TV.

If this is all Image can promote, along with the studios adapting it, no wonder a focus on heroism is sorely lacking by contrast, along with stories that could give sex a more positive name. Sex Criminals certainly doesn't improve on what's gone wrong with modern entertainment.
