Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, Just Freaking Neat, Panel Perfect on June 16, 2010

This July, the most popular mind-bending, sci-fi spy opus of the decade returns with Casanova #1, from the Eisner Award-winning team of Matt Fraction, Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon, now exclusively at Icon! Fans new and old will be able to experience the exhilarating and crazy antics of agent Casanova Quinn as he gets abducted across space and time to infiltrate his own father’s E.M.P.I.R.E of law and order – in FULL COLOR! Also, fans will be treated to an ALL-NEW backup by Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon

Explaining the refreshing, wondrous joy that is Casanova will have to come later. Just know that we took the extra ten minutes to share this 3 page preview. The end game of this tactic? Blind hope that just one person will run a search for a new science fiction, dimension-hopping, super-espionage tome of fiction that’ll please that part of you previously unappeasable.

Yeah, it’s like that.

Also, you’ll get classic Matt Fraction lines like:

“Whatever — he’s an arrogant SPECIAL EFFECT, and I’m gonna FUCK HIM UP for MONEY.”-Casanova Quinn

You know you want more.

Matt Fraction Could by My New Hero

Posted by mistergroonk in Books, Comics, Tesla on August 29, 2005


“The Five Fists of Science is the story of Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla teaming up to bring about world peace by compulsion– and how that peace will interfere with the plans of an evil science cabal led by Thomas Edison,” says writer Matt Fraction. “An all-out war between magic and science is fought on the streets of New York City in 1899, and it is an absolutely true story, up to a point.”
