What the is this?
Comic books, rock 'n' roll and movies. I like to think that I've matured past 14-years-old but I suppose you will have to be the judge of that.

Tomorrow Casanova from Matt Fraction and Gabriel Ba arrives. What do you get for $1.99? Usually it will be 16-pages of Pop Art manic adventures but to kick things off you get 32-pages of content. Honestly, this book does more in its first 16 pages than most do with 32 or 40. I have a full a review in this post that name checks some of the previous works this book is inspired by. If it was just a tribute to the swinging '60s it would only be a fun novelty. Instead Fraction and Ba are really creating a living environment for Casanova Quinn, one that's believable as the creators play it with the right balance of smirk and seriousness. This is pretty much my definition of what a fun comic book should be and I hope you enjoy it, too.
