    The series is being collected into trade paperbacks:

      Album 1: Luxuria, January 2008:

        At the beginning of the first issue, Casanova "Cass" Quinn works as a freelance thief and espionage artist who has turned his back on the rest of the Quinn family. His father, Cornelius, runs the world-spanning spy organization E.M.P.I.R.E. 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. Casanova is the black sheep in the family and only makes contact with his father when his sister is killed during a mission – they meet again and fight at her funeral.

        The funeral is actually a turning point for Casanova’s life as a mystery device is planted on him without his knowledge, a device which thrusts him bodily into the inner sanctum of Newman Xeno—a bandaged super-genius hedonist running an evil organization called W.A.S.T.E. (a reference to Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49[2]). This Xeno, however, reveals that Casanova’s actually been transplanted into a parallel timeline – moving from Timeline 909 to Timeline 919 – where Casanova was the dead E.M.P.I.R.E. agent and the very much alive Zephyr is the bad girl thief working for W.A.S.T.E. The morally ambivalent Casanova is drawn into a deceitful game where he appears as his own dead counterpart to work both sides of the W.A.S.T.E./E.M.P.I.R.E. coin.

        Casanova is forced to undertake various missions and counter-missions, such as removing a former E.M.P.I.R.E. Agent who is the ruler of a sex island, or killing David X, a magician whose stunts could lead to his being seen as a messiah. At the end of the volume, Cass manages to break free of Newman Xeno’s control and with his newly acquired team, decides to begin to genuinely work for E.M.P.I.R.E., operating out of a giant Japanese World War II era robot.

      Album 2: Gula, April 2008:

        Also subtitled as ‘When Is Casanova Quinn?’. Casanova’s team have a new mission, to stop a revolutionary new aircraft powered by the mysterious ‘H-Element’. The book then skips forward 2 years, with a masked E.M.P.I.R.E. agent fighting the plane, now a reality. The plane is piloted by a blue-skinned multi-armed woman called Sasa Lisi, who asks the agent, Kaito (Casanova’s ‘Intern’) ‘When is Casanova Quinn?’

        Sasa Lisi is from the future, and an agent of M.O.T.T. who claims not only to be a lover of Casanova’s from the future, but also that finding him is essential to the survival of the ‘Multiquintessence’.

        Elsewhere, Zephyr has returned, and is working with Kubark Benday, son of the head of X.S.M. and ‘potential future love interest’. 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, hits on all the people who know about H-Element, including Cornelius Quinn.

        After successfully killing all three people who know about the H-Element, it is revealed that Zephyr was really working undercover for E.M.P.I.R.E. and everyone she and Kubark killed were robots, including Cornelius. Kaito mourns the death of Ruby, who he does not elect to revive.

        Cornelius and the gang race toward X.S.M.’s island, where Xeno and the Bendays are about to launch Lisi’s shuttle which, along with the H-Element, will grant Xeno’s past self the Fakebook. The closer the gun gets to launching, the more body parts Lisi seems to grow, existing in multiple, conflicting timestreams. Zephyr, too, begins to display some of Lisi’s side effects, until she is shot by a mourning Kaito. It is then revealed that Zephyr was really Casanova, working to try and atone for his sins by undoing everything. Cornelius, angry at his son’s death, elects to fire the gun and preserve history.

        In the final pages, Casanova is returned to male form, Kubark rails at his betrayal, and David X sneaks in and escapes with Xeno and Kubark. Casanova, now shunned by his father, agrees to work for E.M.P.I.R.E., though Cornelius will not recognize him as his son.

      Album 3: Avaritia, July 2011:

        CASANOVA IS BACK and NOW YOU can see what everybody’s been talking about. THIS ISSUE: The world’s sexiest and savviest superspy kills his way from dimension to dimension in a high-stakes, action-packed adventure that cannot be described in a mere human "solicitation." !!!

          Story: The story begins when Casonva is hired to kidnap a robotic girl from her father but is stopped by a family friend who brings him news that his twin sister was killed. He attends the funeral and ends up in a brawl with family only to use it as front to sell a body part that is later used to clone that individual and infiltrate his place of work. Casonava confronts two villains and learns that he is from another time line. His twin sister is not dead and he is sent back to bring down his father.

          My view: Normally I don’t pick up these type of books but after reading the previews I was interested to see how the series would play out. I am quite familiar with Matt Fraction writing talents and was pleasantly surprised how it differed from his works on X-Men and Iron Man series. There is a lot of dialog from the main character mainly done in first person format. The art by Gabriel Ba is similar to Tim Sales artistic style. I like that he captured the facial expressions of the character which helped with the flow of the story.

          The Good: The backup story plays very well into the story. I like having a second point of view from the supporting cast. It gives a behind the scenes look when Cassonava was lost in the time stream for six days. If you are fan of time streams and alternate time lines, this book delivers.

          The Bad: There is alot dialogue and I found myself having to read it twice to get what the story was about. Some of the characters histories resembled what I have read. Namely Father Quinn and Buck McShane, their history is pretty close to that of Nick Fury and Dum Dum Dugan.

          Overall: Now that I know what to expect from the writer and the direction the book is going, I am looking forward to next month’s issue to see what type of trouble Casanova Quinn is going to get into.
