    But the stories and art, while incredibly hot and masculine, show how gay men not only just hook up: they connect. TimeOut Chicago says "carnality and sweetness is the exactly the right combination that makes STICKY a real standout in the genre. Readers will find the material is both erotically charged and unabashedly romantic". In "The Bitch List", Bitch Magazine says "STICKY presents wordless, atmospheric vignettes of man-on-man action that are intimate and human while still indulging timeless tropes like leather daddies, hot cowboys, and improbably explosive money shots." Trusty Sidekicks joins the wide popular acclaim for this comic series: "I was actually pretty blown away by how well Dale Lazarov's script and Steve MacIsaac's artwork tell a story in exquisite, vivid detail...the kind of details you might notice when you're actually having sex with someone - a string of moments that can be hot, playful, tender, mischievous, and even a little funny. I think that's why [STICKY] works as both porn and as a comic... it wouldn't be quite so compelling if told (or shown) another way."
