Casanova #14 Hits THE SPLASH PAGE

I know, I know. You're probably sick of me talking about Casanova by this point. Blah blah Casanova is the best comic since ever blah blah Fraction writes real good blah blah. But, guess what? I don't care. Casanova is greater than your hate. Also, Chad Nevett and I are smart. So you should value our opinions above all others. And some people didn't get to read Casanova #14 this week, so this is just yet another way to taunt them.

Seriously, though, if you have a brain, and eyes, and a soul, and two bucks, you should buy Casanova #14, then go over and read the newest installment of The Splash Page.

Why Casanova Matters

Now that Casanova has reached the conclusion of its second album, I've spent some time rereading all fourteen issues. I'm more certain than ever that Casanova will be seen as one of the defining comics of this decade, if not the defining comic.

In celebration of this end-of-Casanova-for-now moment, I've written a lengthy essay on "Why Casanova Matters" for Comic Book Resources. The essay spoils the conclusion of the "Gula" arc, just to warn you. But if you've ever had any doubts about the greatness of Casanova, or you just want to see what I have to say about a comic that you already love, check out my exploration of the work HERE.

Casanova #14 Review

Recently reviewed by me at CBR: an advance, spoiler-free review of tomorrow's Casanova #14, about which I write the following sentences: "This is Fraction at his best, hitting the story beats fast and furious while layering in the emotional underpinning. This is what 'Casanova' is -- a serious comic that's never boring, a raging action epic that's about what it means to be alive. 'Casanova' embraces life, embraces the medium of comics, and challenges all other comics to be better than they are."
