About this deal

This storyline is weird and it sounds fun, doesn’t it? I could definitely see this getting a show somewhere like AdultSwim or FXX. Unfortunately as fun as it sounds I think the execution falls flat. 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?

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.Eldritch Abomination: The bulbs are a trio of giant, sentient jellyfish with galaxy-like visuals that run The Covalence. Annie says she expected the warlord Daughir to be bigger and scarier, and wearing an Infinity Gauntlet. 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.

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

The book has the same problems as erotic comics (or comix) from the 60s and 70s - it’s trying to tell a story AND be sexy AND be funny, leading to throbbing blue balls on all three fronts. The story is almost incomprehensible, the sex is frugal in its representation and makes you long for some actual porn, and the jokes are nowhere near funny enough. 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. 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 knew what I was getting into something crazy based off the title and synopsis. A band of scientists decide to become porn stars for money to fund their research on life on other planets. Because people are so desensitized to so many types of sex they decide alien sex will bring in the money.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. The art team did a wonderful job bringing both the eye-catching alien worlds and sexy stuff to life throughout.

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.Our Centaurs Are Different: Bode Sosh'u Sinch is a member of a centaur-like race of aliens that works for The Covalence as an ambassador. She originally tried opening relations with Earth to help further their development, only to cancel it when President Kirk ruins everything being his obnoxious self.

Money Shot (Comic Book) - TV Tropes

When the writer approached editor Adrian Wassel at Vault Comics, he was the first one who didn’t shy away. Wassel was open to the idea of a comic that combined sex and satire, but also a certain vulnerability. 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 This is (I think though might be mistaken) the first comic I’ve read from Vault, a publisher I’ve heard a lot of hype for, and while not bad I wasn’t a huge fan. I don’t know if I’ll bother with volume 2 to be honest.

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 - Kindle Money Shot - Collects #1-5. "In the near future, space travel is ludicrously expensive and largely ignored. Enter Christine Ocampo, 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." - JAN202091 - WorldCat - ISBN 9781939424600 Working with the Ex: Christine and Omar used to be in a relationship, and so far they've been cordial but the Money Shot initiative, it's gotten more complicated especially with Christine and Bree starting to see each other.
