Customer Reviews
When Casanova first launched, I went straight out and bought the first issue.
I read it twice, and was incredibly confused. I could sense it had greatness within it, but I felt like it was pushing me away--like it was all style and too-cool-for-school dialogue, the goth chick in high school who deep down wants to be loved but treats everyone like shit so she can protect herself from hurting.
So I walked away, and left the howling critical acclaim behind. I remained intrigued but unsure.
Now, issue 8. That typical "perfect jumping-on point for new readers." And instantly, I feel more at home with this book, more comfortable in its skin. There's a clarity here that I don't remember from the first issue, a throughline and an attempt to reach out to the reader that I appreciate. I can see where this is going, in a sense, even though I clearly can't, because Matt Fraction is one batshit crazy genius of a whackadoo writer.
Fabio Moon takes over on art for his brother, Gabirel Ba, who is now over becoming a superstar with rocker Gabriel Way on Dark Horse's Umbrella Academy miniseries. Somehow, it feels as though nothing has changed, and yet I know something has; I'm not intimate with the title so I can't tell you the differences, but it feels the same to me, and it feels good. I just love how Casanova Quinn looks like Mick Jagger in his quiet moments.
As complicated/convoluted as the first storyline seemed to be from just that first perplexing issue, this one manages to fill in the new reader, clear the decks from the first story, and bring us to a tight little cliffhanger that has us hungry for issue 9. I don't know quite what I missed yet in that first arc of Casanova, but I know what I'll be missing if I stop reading it now, and that's good comics.
