Casanova: Acedia #8

The concluding chapter of Casanova: Acedia arrives in style, with Fábio Moon's 2016-dated cover presenting a broad-shouldered, dual-pistol-wielding man standing over a blonde woman who clutches a bouquet of roses in one hand and a pistol in the other — all rendered in a striking warm palette of golds, oranges, and reds. It's a moody, pulp-inflected image that captures the series' signature blend of spy-fi cool and romantic tension. With Matt Fraction and Michael Chabon on words alongside the art team of Moon and Gabriel Bá, this 2017 Image release delivers the kind of sophisticated, stylish comics that made Casanova a genuinely exciting corner of the medium.
