I re-read the second half of the book to understand the story more and started to feel a bit more comfortable with the comic of the day as it's own entity, but Ba's art is so distinctive and story defining that I have a hard time separating the Umbrella Academy and Casanova. Casanova, the title character, looked a bit like the Kraken from Umbrella Academy, too. I enjoy Ba's art, but it may be hard for me to ever accept it into other stories and publisher's books.
Casanova #1 was an interesting enough story for me to care about. That's not exactly a ringing endorsement for this book; however, by the time a reader gets through the end mini-story (with art by Fabio Moon) from within the first story that Fraction puts together, the reader will realize that the book has it's charm and a reason to pick up the following issue.
