Set in the near future, with the awareness of an advanced alien civilization from outer space, the Earth fails to prove itself worthy of joining the civilised universe, due to hundreds of wars, led by greedy politicians and fumbling to advance technologically. As space travel is ludicrously expensive and largely ignored within an economically crippled America, Christine Ocampo – inventor of the Star Shot Teleportation Device – comes up with a big idea: Chris and her team of scientists will travel to new worlds, engage intimately with local aliens and film their exploits for a jaded populace trying to find something new on the Internet. 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 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. 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.)

Eldritch Abomination: The bulbs are a trio of giant, sentient jellyfish with galaxy-like visuals that run The Covalence.

In remembering that when the Net first went live the first thing up was either porn or slash fanfic, this is a really good idea by Seeley. I think in addition to the struggle of introducing the concept and characters Seeley was working out whether to tread the humor or SciFI lines here.

Annie: Wait a second. Asking me to dive into my area of expertise and letting me talk about it without getting grossed out or bored. This... this was your foreplay, wasn't it? 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 art team did a wonderful job bringing both the eye-catching alien worlds and sexy stuff to life throughout. Sex with the Ex: Christine and Omar have sex, but afterwards Christine realizes that it was a mistake. The Atoner: Mercenary and criminal Skuloch Prohn, after encountering a group of refugees makes them admit that friendship and altruism exist.It is certainly a way to build an audience . Money Shot has its tenth issue published by Vault Comics last week, with a nit of a "The End" finality to it, though there is no currently scheduled issue to follow. There are two collections currently published by VAult, but might the series' future be funded by a Playboy sugar daddy> Single-Biome Planet: In their efforts to escape Dien Pide, the XXX-Plorers manage to open a portal to a random planet. Unfortunately, they wind up stranded on a miniscule island on Epsilon Erudite 9, a planet that is mostly ocean. 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.

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. But...I think the story sort of skips some important parts. Like, someone invented what's basically a teleporter, someone else invented a universal translator/automatic drone cameraperson, and those aren't like...sale-able technologies? Non-Mammal Mammaries: Despite being Fish People— including the squid-like Warlord Priest Daughir — the native females of Dry Reef all have anatomical parts similar to breasts. Skull for a Head: Skuloch Prohn's helmet makes them look like this, although it's implied that the skull is a hologram. The humor. Sometimes it’s funny and occasionally even clever, sometimes it’s just a cheap “sex funny” punchline that falls flat.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. In the near future, space travel is ludicrously expensive and largely ignored. Enter Christine Ocampos, inventor of the Star Shot teleportation device. Her 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! A story about scientists having sex with aliens for the glory of mankind-and money. Earlier in the year, Playboy Magazine republished the first issue of the sex comedy comic book Money Shotby Tim Seeley, Sarah Beattie, Rebekah Isaacs and Kurt Michael Russell.
