OMG,omg,omg!I found something similar to Sunstone in themes,art,humor and hotness and I am obsessed!
Super Fun Sexy Times is a graphic collection of 5 novellas set in a world of superheroes, supervillains, their sidekicks and even aliens. The setting was amazing! I want to know so many things about this world now. Like gender changing aliens. Tell me more!
Each story was sex positive, had people of different body types, genders,sex preferences. Characters actually talked about their desires, conversations were open and honest, nobody was shamed for the things they want. The more stories like this the better this world will be.
And did I mention the hotness? Cause holy cow was it hot! I blushed quite a few times while reading.
I will read anything by this author now,that's for sure.

There are a lot of pros to this title: visibility, sex positivity, attractive art, and a sense of humor. However, it didn't really capture my interest.

An ok read. For me there was nothing special about it.
Thank you to both NetGalley and ONI Press for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest unbiased review

I decided to read this because I really liked Meredith McClaren's short in Twisted Romance and wanted to try more by her, even though that "more" was completely out of my comfort zone. It may be not my kind of thing at all, but I still really appreciated some parts of it, from the way it talked about consent to what it said about fantasies not being necessarily what a person would like in real life - and, of course, the representation of queer and kinky sex involving people of various body types and ethnicities.

This was like, really good. Initially I wasn't going to read this because the description didn't sound queer but literally all 5 of the stories are queer! And so diverse, there's a genderfluid character, and fat characters, and POC. Consent is discussed, thoroughly, in a couple of the stories. Just all around really great!

This graphic novel is definitely NSFW/for mature readers. I would not recommend this for a younger audience since some scenes are very much explicit. That said, I very much enjoyed it.
I liked how diverse the couples were and I also appreciated the fact that every couple had their story and then the smut was included in it. It wasn’t just sexy times, there were plots, and very good ones at that. The book is very sex-positive, something that was very nice.
I would totally read a whole book with some of these couples as main characters.

We definitely need more sex positivity in this world. This is an interesting, blush-inducing set of graphic (in more ways than one) superhero stories. If you know me, you know I love to see superheroes in all kinds of settings. This one was…a bit…different. Fun and worth reading if you can handle mature material.

Even though I knew from the description that this was a sexy graphic novel, I couldn't have been prepared for what I discovered. I was surprised by the graphic nature of the illustrations (surprised, not offended) and how they worked well to tell a fun story and include a lot of unsaid things as well. There are five short stories here, all of them are chock full of humor and inclusion, with characters displaying a wide variety of gender, race, sexuality, and body image. Plus there are super-heroes! This was an overwhelmingly positive reading experience.

I have been introduced to gold. This is a comic of short stories with villains, super heroes and scientists. The stories cover hookups, couples, bdsm, and a good time. This is a world that all adults should be aware of, The book ended much too soon. Do yourself a favor, read this book with your partner, and enjoy the super sexy fun that is sure to occur upon reading.

This book really wasn’t for me the graphics weren’t great and the stories seemed disjointed and half the time made no sense. I suppose if you like comics and sex then this is for you.

Received a review copy from NetGalley for an honest review.

Things that hit my interests? This is that thing.

Sex-positive. Consensual. Diverse. Erotica with a wide variety of orientations, body-types and kinks. And it's *funny*.

As has been said, "Super Fun Sexy Times" is very explicit. All five short stories involve superheroes, villains or sidekicks having sex and every one of them deals with a different aspect of sexuality: caring for your partner after a bad day, acting out a kink your partner is into that you're not, revealing the kink you've been hiding, etc. It's just that the people doing these things wear spandex and jump around on buildings in their spare time.

With a few superpowered exceptions -- ice hands are a problem at times -- these are stories that could be written about anyone. Who hasn't had sexy times interrupted by an unexpected cat? And don't let "consensual" scare you off. One story is simply two people negotiating over a kitchen table what they will and won't do together and it may be the hottest story in the bunch.

Meredith McClaren's style, both writing and artwork, provides erotica that's more adorable than smutty. I loved it.

Lives up to its title

This was a fun, quick read on a topic I never gave much thought: the intimate lives of superheroes. I liked the illustrations and stories, although the latter were too short to really have good character development.

Yep this sure was what u call super fun sexy time and A very NSFW/Rated M for mature.


I didn’t expect what I wasn’t going into when I started but damn this was some very sexy time between such diverse couples which I really enjoyed and a plus for that was they were all superhero’s and the smut was definitly there.

One of the many pros I have of this book is how diverse it was from- colour/interracial couples and using M/M relationships F/F relationships.

The illustrations all the way throughout were bright and bold which really enjoyed and if u haven’t guessed there will be a lot of genitalia on show.

Overall a super quick and easy read which I also enjoyed aswell if there is going to be a second volume I will definitely be checking it out.

This book is DEFINITELY super fun sexy. It is decidedluy an M for Mature book, with explicit scenes throughout.

SUPER FUN SEXY TIMES positively highlights various aspects of different types of relationships as they relate to sexuality. The art style is semi-realistic, and the colors are clear, making character differentiation easy to see. The portrayal of LGBTQ+ love is heartwarming and realistic - while also being a fantasy fulfilling book.

3.5 Stars out of 5

I didn’t know what to expect with this graphic novel but I was pleasantly surprised. This was a quick, fun read with a lot of steamy sex and a super hero twist. The illustrations and stories are great and there’s something for everyone.

Everyone needs love—even super heroes, archnemeses, super villains, mercenaries, mad scientists, assassins, interstellar beings, non-binary, and gender fluid people. In Super Fun Sexy Times Meredith McClaren’s nuanced characters explore the kink spectrum with humor, compassion, and without judgement. Volume one of what promises to be a titillating series with as much emotional depth as sexual heat is sure to hook adult readers into getting to know more about these intriguing characters. These initial thumbnail biographies and vignettes are effective teasers.

The sexually explicit illustrations are mostly anatomically correct with the exception of one black female’s genitalia. Black box is slang for a black woman’s vagina, but the inner flesh is actually in shades of pink. The attempt made to render that contrast falls a bit short. Generally, humans and other character species are drawn with strong feline and anime influences rendered in a predominately pastel and gray scale palette. Skin colors for the black characters sometimes translate with a grayish undertone that remains common in comics even though it’s not a shade found naturally in real flesh (severely dry and unmoisturized skin included). This challenge in producing truly brown shades to represent people of color continues throughout the industry. Cosmetics manufacturers finally solved their brown pigment issues. Comics will, too. (Eventually?) And in a refreshing switch, almost all of the simply human characters are people of color.

Super Fun Sexy Times organically includes characters as multifaceted representation across ethnicity, age, species, professions, body types, and sexual orientations and identities. Sexual intimacy in each chapter starts with revelations and brief conversations in support of the idea that foreplay begins in the heart and mind.

I LOVED this book. Properly loved it. You know sometimes you're hungry and you don't know what you want to eat, and then someone brings you a meal that turns out to be the exact thing you didn't know you wanted? That's this book. I didn't know I wanted queer, diverse, body-posi superhero smut in my life – but it turns out I do. And I'm so happy I found it.

For me, this book succeeded on all the levels it needed to. The artwork is beautiful, the layouts are great, the characters are well-defined and diverse, the dialogue is snappy, the stories are surprising, and the sexy bits are varied and actually properly sexy.

I loved this book, and I can't wait for the next one.
