Casanova: Acedia #5

The fifth chapter of Casanova: Acedia arrives with a cover by Fábio Moon that's all moody atmosphere and quiet dread — a lone figure seated in a chair, burning pages in his lap as a dramatic plume of flame and smoke rises behind him, while a stylishly dressed couple embraces in the shadows to his right. The visual contrast between isolation and intimacy, fire and cool darkness, perfectly captures the off-kilter espionage noir that Matt Fraction and Michael Chabon have brought to this arc. If you've been following Acedia, this one looks like it raises the temperature considerably.
