Description
Casanova Quinn, interdimensional superspy and assassin, has crash-landed here on Earth - on OUR Earth - with absolutely no memory of who he is or the things he's done. He works for a man with just as mysterious a past as his own and has found the New Normal of his life under the name "Quentin Cassaday." That's when the end of the world begins. With nine days to a supposed apocalypse, Los Angeles simmers in fear as a weird cult readies itself for what comes next... and what comes next runs straight through Casanova Quinn. By Eisner-award winning writer Matt Fraction (Sex Criminals, ODY-C) with art by international superstar Fábio Moon (Two Brothers, Daytripper), this volume also features exclusive back-up stories written by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon and drawn by Casanova co-creator Gabriel Bá (The Umbrella Academy) that tells the story of the women tasked with hunting Casanova Quinn down across space and time. Collecting: Casanova: Acedia 1-4
