Turning Trix #1

There's nothing quite like sex. Nothing quite as physical, yet at the same time, emotional. It can be one of the most fulfilling experiences there is and yet, for some, one of the most empty. And so it is for Trixie, a waitress who's nearly ready to pop from her thirst. Luckily for her, there's a ship in town that could just solve all her problems...

Most of the issue centers around her quest to satisfy that urge, however difficult that might be. There's a variety of things that get in her way, with one illustrating a moral boundary, others different kinds altogether. But nevertheless, it's often amusing and, at times, tantalizing seeing her try.

The way Aston tells his story is unique for a comic. It's definitely something I've seen in a lot of books, though the mix of art and prose isn't one you usually see in comics. It mostly works well, though I think it would've been better to break up a bit more of the writing with some art, though most of the issue does this quite well.

Even early on, Aston leans into the more suggestive parts of the story, with a deliveryman's ship being named Massive Package, with a later line saying ''The Glory-Hole ejaculated Eddie's Massive Package Delivery freighter into the Dudley system''. It's something I applaud him for as, when you're doing a story like this, you might as well do it with vigour. It's definitely something he does with the art, which is often filled with energy, vibrancy and colour, particularly in some early shots of Trixie and Eddie in his ship.

Overall, this is a pretty good issue, which, despite some flaws, often pops with energy and sexual tension.
