Casanova: Acedia Vol. 1 Kindle & comiXology

See all formats and editions
Casanova Quinn, interdimensional superspy and assassin, has crash-landed here on Earth—on OUR Earth—with absolutely no memory of who he is or the things he's done. He works for a man with just as mysterious a past as his own and has found the New Normal of his life under the name "Quentin Cassaday." That's when the end of the world begins. With nine days to a supposed apocalypse, Los Angeles simmers in fear as a weird cult readies itself for what comes next...and what comes next runs straight through Casanova Quinn.

By Eisner Award-winning writer MATT FRACTION (SEX CRIMINALS, ODY-C, SATELLITE SAM) and with art by international superstar FÁBIO MOON (Two Brothers, Daytripper), this volume also features exclusive back-up stories written by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist MICHAEL CHABON (Telegraph Avenue, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Klay) and drawn by CASANOVA co-creator GABRIEL BÁ (The Umbrella Academy, Two Brothers) that tells the story of the women tasked with hunting Casanova Quinn down across space and time.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

MATT FRACTION writes comic books out in the woods and lives with his wife, the writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, his two children, two dogs, a cat, a bearded dragon, and a yard full of coyotes and stags. Surely there is a metaphor there? He is 42 years old and everyone he went to high school with is dead now probably.

He won the first-ever PEN USA Literary Award for Graphic Novels; he, or comics he's a part of, have won Eisners, Harveys, and Eagles, which are like the Oscars, Emmys, and Golden Globes of comic books, and all seem about as likely. He's a New York Times-best-selling donkus of comics like SEX CRIMINALS (winner of the 2014 Will Eisner Award for Best New Series, the 2014 Harvey Award for Best New Series, and named TIME Magazine's Best Comic of 2013), SATELLITE SAM, ODY-C, HAWKEYE (winner of the 2014 Will Eisner Award for Best Single Issue), wrote the longest consecutive run when re relaunced THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN (2010 Eiser Award winner for Best New Series) with Salvador Larocca and, oh, lordy, so many more.

Coming in 2018 will be ADVENTUREMAN! with Terry and Rachel Dodson and NOVEMBER with Elsa Charretier from Image Comics.

Under their company Milkfed Criminal Masterminds, Inc., Fraction and DeConnick are currently developing television for NBC/Universal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spies, Sex, Rock and Roll
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2017
This series has all the elements I like in a comic. Great brainy story. A rock and roll Mick Jagger -esque lead character who is an inter-dementional 1960s undercover spy. Lots of sex and rock and roll, but not overtly drawn. The art and story comes from my favorite assembledge of talent Matt Fraction, Gabriel Ba, Fabio Moon, and literary star Michael Chabon. Hip language and dialogue. It helps to start from the original series Casanova: Luxuria. It's complex and can be a dense read, but so sexy and fun and rock and roll.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great art, but a confusing story if you start here. Read the preceding volumes.
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2016
'Casanova: Acedia Vol. 1' by Matt Fraction with a backup story by Michael Chabon and art by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba is a gorgeous looking graphic novel. I was a bit lost for a good part of it, and I didn't realize that this character has been around before.

Quentin Cassaday (aka Casanova Quinn) wakes up with no memory of who he seems to be. He works for an interesting guy, and has a cool chauffers hat. That's about all he knows. He soon finds out that someone is trying to kill him, and that strange occult symbols are showing up everywhere. This leads Quentin to a street magician who may know about what is going on. Things go from weird to weirder.

The backup feature 'The Metanauts' fits in, but the whole thing left me a bit off-balance. This is probably because I haven't read the first two volumes in the series. The proposed series will have volumes named after the seven deadly sins. Acedia is Latin for sloth. Perhaps if I'd looked that up before reading it, the story might have made a bit more sense. Nonetheless, there is something good happening here, including some knockout art. Just do yourself a favor and start from the beginning.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Image Comics, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

3.0 out of 5 stars A tale of two amnesiacs
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2015
Quentin Cassaday aka Casanova Quinn works for Amiel Boutique, another man whose has lost the memory of his past. Strange “people” called Fabula have the answers as does Sasa Lisi who may be Amiel’s daughter.
There seems to be a large amount of organisations with acronyms: N.E.T.W.O.R.K, E.M.P.I.R.E., A.C.A.D.E.M.Y., etc.., the majority of which appear in the comic-within-a-comic, the Metanauts.
Quite confusing in places (especially with unexplained flashbacks), it is quite engaging; some sex and violence. I prefer my comics more straight-forward

5.0 out of 5 stars psicodélico
Reviewed in Spain on November 10, 2017
Verified Purchase
Me encanta todo en esta serie. Ese aire psicodélico y conspirativo, el altísimo nivel gráfico, la frescura de sus ideas, y los personajes a medio camino entre James Bond y Nick Furia y sus comandos aulladores, con secundarios con "cierta" semejanza con Modok (glorioso!), el agente Cho, y muchos más
Y mucho disloque temporal.
