Praise for SfSx
Part-heist, part-fascist hellscape, and one hundred percent sexual revolution, SfSx is unlike any comic you've ever readβand you're going to want to pick up the trade paperback editionβ¦ effortlessly captures the feeling of this revolutionary and terrifying moment in time. β SyFy Wire
Twists that could only show up in a 21st-century sci-fi story written by a queer sex workerβ¦. SfSx is a crime thriller rooting for the criminals, an urgent reminder that the cyberpunk dystopia is already here. β Daily Dot
Readers with a yen for third-wave feminist fury will find plenty to enjoy in these porn-friendly adventures. β Publisherβs Weekly
An action adventure horror comic with didactic layers, Safe Sex feels deeply relevant. β LA Review of Books
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. β Teen Vogue
This story is from a sex workerβs 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 doesnβt come from sex work on its own, but the stigma people in our society put on sex workers. β Jezebel
If any comic-book lover thinks SFSX is a far-fetched dystopia, they havenβt been paying attention. β Playboy
SFSX radically vacillates between extreme pleasure and extreme pain. β CBR
A timely, thoughtful meditation on sexuality, society, and freedom. A powerful mix of satire, theory, and great storytelling. β Adventures in Poor Taste
Horn has shown herself to be a writer who has taken to comics incredibly well, adept at both writing visually but also has brilliant dense prose and dialogue which contribute to incredibly vivid worldbuilding. β Comics Beat
For SfSx, a jailbreak heist action-adventure, skills like bondage and pole dancing are about to become quite useful. β Rolling Stone

SFSX shoves its sparkly stiletto heel right in the face of anyone who has ever tried to keep sex workers down. Tina Hornβs work reminds us how important sexual freedom is to the American spirit. β Stormy Daniels
SFSX immediately made it to the top of my reading pile with its poignant and alarmingly relatable conceit. The conversations this book is having are the ones we need to hear right now, and Horn explores that with depth, hilarity, urgency, joy, and a daring wit.β Fran Tirado, Organizer #Brooklynliberation
A heart-and-pussy-pounding political thriller like none you've ever read before. Horn knows that when sex is at stake, our lives are at stake, and will settle for nothing less than liberation." β Jaclyn Friedman, author/editor of Yes Means Yes, Unscrewed, and Believe Me
SFSX zeroes in on the dystopian, anti-sex nightmare we seem to be hurtling towards. Visceral, arousing, and terrifying. Tina Hornβs writing gave me goosebumps, wishing I could visit The Dirty Mind, and fearing that weβll soon live in a future where such a place is no longer possible. β Stoya
SfSx gives sex workers and perverts the credit theyβre due, framing their practices as nothing short of superpowers and unsung resistance efforts. Tina Hornβs lifetime of experience and intimate insider knowledge brings to life the messiness of surviving and thriving in a culture that criminalizes pleasure. In this all-too-possible dystopian universe of government-enforced sexual repression and purity scores, itβs the punks, queers, and deviants who will save us all. β Tamara SantibaΓ±ez
I wish Tina Horn's Safe Sex felt more like an alien world. Instead, our country is looking more and more like the dystopia she's expertly crafted. Sexy, dangerous, mysterious, and full of the types of moral ambiguity that thrives in toxic worlds like our own, Horn's characters are all compromised. I got to the end and immediately wanted, no needed, more. Her work shows how the language of feminism can be turned inside out and how patronizing "care" for women can actually undermine their freedom. Safe Sex shows us that no one can save us but ourselves. Let's get ready, read, and fuck ourselves free. β Joe Osmundson, co-host Food4Thot podcast
