Despite what my general demeanor and love of cartoons might have one believe, I am a full-fledged grownup with a driver’s license, a (terrible) credit score, and the ability to drone on and on about the lovely marbling on a roast that my wife made last Sunday. That means that I’m able to buy Erik Larsen’s Savage Dragon every month and revel in its celebration of old-school Marvel Comics-style storytelling welded together with sexual content, adult language, overt political satire, and the old ultra-violence, especially in recent months. It’s an enjoyable, if somewhat bewildering read, but one that I would recommend for those of appropriate age and constitution, leading to today’s R-rated query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) is also looking forward to the return of Westworld next month, which presumably will mean more violence, nudity and moral philosophizing, all of which are things that I enjoy in the right setting, asking: Which property full of adult content would you nonetheless recommend to others of appropriate age and disposition?

Altered Carbon. The transhumanist cyberpunk locked-room murder mystery of the first season is unsurpassed.
Saga is full of adult business, both of the intimate relations and graphic violence varieties, but i dont know if i’ve cried more often per arc as i have when reading Saga.
I don’t think I can name anything I’d recommend without knowing quite well who am I dealing with. Most of the adult oriented things I like are from 90’s and 2000’s and I know have lots of problematic things in them.
