Casanova, Vol. 1: Luxuria by Matt Fraction (Writer)

    The Umbrella Academy Volume 1: Apocalypse Suite by Gerard Way (Lucky-Loki)
    Lucky-Loki: Not only do they share the same artist between them, but the frenzied inventiveness, the zany yet brutal logic of the worlds presented, the odd tonal mixture of action, humour and character exploration -- there's a lot to like (or dislike, depending on your sensibilities) in common between these two series of graphic novels.… (more)

Really interesting and fun story. Marred somewhat by problematic word choices and characterisations of women... which can somewhat be attributed to it's time ('06). I know Fraction is better than that now so I hope the subsequent volumes get past it. ( )

No likey too disjointed. ( )

Tough to tell whether this is a 3, a 3.5, or a 4. It has a lot going for it - Fraction is allowed to really go off the rails here, leading to some genuinely hilarious bits, and Bá is perfectly matched to the subject matter here (everything looks like hyperstylized concept art for a 60s or 70s spy thriller, which is perfect). I think that as time goes on and the story gets more complicated, though, it loses a lot of the charm that the first few stories have and just becomes obsessed with running down the dumb trope checklist. I'm going to give it a second shot, though. ( )

I spent a good chunk of this book saying "I have NO idea what's going on, but it's AWESOME". By the time I finished it, it made more sense, but it was no less awesome. ( )

Not my thing. Another comic with nice art and a frenetic, trying-so-hard, saying-nothing story. I stopped caring halfway through. ( )

Originally serialized in 2006 and 2007, when it was printed in two-tone black and green, “Luxuria” has been expanded and recolored for its new edition — fleshing out a love-story subplot that makes it clearer that a heart is beating inside the book’s skeleton of clones, alternate timelines and “retroviral data payloads.”
 
The themes are basic, even obvious: family relations (especially the father/son conflict), sex, drugs, pain, pleasure, death. For escapist adventure, it’s awfully thought-provoking. It’s both about and provides altered consciousness.
