Casanova: Acedia #4

The fourth chapter of Casanova: Acedia arrives with one of the series' most unsettling cover images: a gray-toned figure with eerie red eyes holds up a photograph of a different man's face — warm-skinned, mustachioed — so that it obscures the lower half of his own, creating a quietly chilling portrait of fractured or hidden identity. Matt Fraction and Michael Chabon's scripts, paired with the art of Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá (with Dustin Harbin and Cris Peter), make this 2015 Image series one of the most distinctively crafted spy-fi books on the stands. If questions of who someone really is sit at the heart of Acedia, this cover makes that theme feel genuinely unnerving.
