Okay, this one HAS to be about Casanova. We’ll know by the time the weekend’s over!
I’m guessing hoping this is good news for Casanova fans!
“To celebrate the off-to-the-printerness of IIM #19 and the end of WORLD’S MOST WANTED, here’s the premiere of the new trade dress for the book starting with IIM #20 and our new arc, STARK: DISASSEMBLED. Cover by Salva and Frankie; Design by the inimitable Rian Hughes.”

So you might have read some stuff I wrote here on my blog about Matt Fraction before. He’s totally my favorite comic book writer. He’s the only one I’ve ever felt compelled to write an email to, even though I felt dumb and awkward after doing it. You might have seen me list his book Casanova as one of my frequent buys on my pull list posts. I just really like his stuff.
Reading a recent issue of Casanova I noticed a couple of lines of dialogue that appeared to be lifted from a Mountain Goats song that I love. I went over to Fraction’s website and, like a nerd, asked him if they were indeed taken from the song. He confirmed that they were and I had a nice little inside moment where my favorite writer borrowed from a band I like and I recognized it and blah, blah, blah…
Anyway, Fraction was recently asked to create a playlist of his five favorite Mountain Goat songs by a website called Cable and Tweed. He spends a little time unpacking why he picked each song and how the band has made their way into his work. It’s a really interesting read and showcases a lot of the reasons I love Fraction’s voice.
