Casanova is a creator-owned comic book series by writer Matt Fraction and artists Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon.
of which Casanova's twin sister Zephyr is a top agent, while his mother Anna has been hidden away in a vegetative state for unknown reasons.
The device thrusts him into the inner sanctum of Newman Xeno, a bandaged super-genius hedonist running an evil organization called W.A.S.T.E.
With his newly acquired team, he decides to begin genuinely working for E.M.P.I.R.E., operating out of a giant Japanese World War II era robot.
She and Kubark are hired by her former lover, Newman Xeno, who offers her ten billion dollars to return to him, she refuses but agrees to do the contract job, hitting on all the people who know about H-Element, including Cornelius Quinn.
The mission changes tactics and instead of obliterating an entire universe, Casanova now kills that timeline's version of Luther Desmond Diamond, which he finds to be less morally reprehensible, but more personal.
He is found and given room by Amiel Boutique, who runs a secret intel group called N.E.T.W.O.R.K., and in gratitude, he starts working for him as a right-hand man of sorts.
Then one night after one of Boutique's giant parties, Cassaday is attacked by a woman who only appeals to his sense of curiosity when she whispers to him "Casanova Quinn".
He also meets McShane, Kaito's hard-punching partner at the LAPD, and Thelonius Godchild, a magician, and informant who remembers Boutique's past but won't admit it for his safety.
Meeting Cassaday invites trouble for all of them, as they are attacked by two triplets all named Fabulon, and Kaito is seriously injured with a stab wound to his midsection.
Afterward, Cassaday finds himself in solitude when he is taken hostage by Suki, who purports to be Sasa Lisi, Boutique's estranged adopted daughter.
Along with her accomplice Heath, they resurface with the intent to assassinate Boutique, whose actual name is Akim Athabadze, and eliminate all traces of him from history.
At the end of every issue is a shorter, ongoing, parallel side story of The Metanauts, written by Michael Chabon and illustrated by Gabriel Bá.
Kieran Shiach of ComicsAlliance stated that Casanova felt "new and dangerous" and full of ideas to him but expressed disappointment that the third volume had a more "traditional" aesthetic.
[3] Jodi Odgers of Multiversity Comics called it a "complex and maniac masterpiece" in another review of the first issue, also noting it was "breakneck pace".
