Matt Fraction, Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon's dimension-jumping, incestuous spy-fi series was a weird one: Self-conscious, self-referential and often self-mocking, there was nonetheless something about it than nonetheless worked and seemed curiously, wonderfully refreshing at a time when mainstream comics were more interested in gong through the motions and maintaining their own status quo. Equal parts stream of consciousness, ongoing mysteries and psychedelic head trip, Fraction's tale of a thief who replaces himself on a parallel Earth where his twin sister is (a) still alive and (b) not one of the good guys was given swagger and class from Moon and Ba, who kept things strong when the story seemed uncertain. By the end of the second volume, we'd met multi-armed time traveling goddesses, Cass had contributed to society's ongoing gender confusion in the most unexpected way, and three relative newcomers had shown that they were not only aware of comics' potential, but wanted to push and prod and see if they could take things further, Casanova is rumored to return next year. We can't wait. More »

Image Comics' Casanova may just be one of the greatest comic books of all time, a fact I can probably prove with graphs and charts given enough time to prepare. Suffice to say that the book — ostensibly about Casanova Quinn, a super-spy kidnapped by his dead sister into a parallel dimension where she lives and he's dead — is unlike anything else around right now. We spoke with writer Matt Fraction to find out where the series had come from, what it all means, and what television show he'd revamp given the choice. Warning: Spoilers ahead. Also, people who don't want to see me being called a dick should not read any further. More »
