'''''Casanova''''' is a comic book series written by Matt Fraction with art by (so far) Gabriel Ba and his brother Fabio Moon. Inspired by [[The Cornelius Chronicles|Jerry Cornelius]], ''[[Danger: Diabolik]]'', ''[[Nick Fury|Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD]]'' and, of course, [[James Bond]], it tells a trippy tale of spies, flying cars, crazy gadgets, bizarre psychic powers and mind-upgrading drugs. Each story arc is named after one of the [[Seven Deadly Sins]]. As of September 2011, [[Lust|Luxuria]] and [[Gluttony|Gula]] are complete and [[Envy|Avarita]] #1 just came out.
 
The eponymous lead is a skilled yet thoroughly sybaritic cat-burglar-for-hire whose dad, Cornelius Quinn, happens to run E.M.P.I.R.E., the world's premier international security organization.

* [[Animal Motifs]] - Everyone with psychic powers has a "psychomanifest" represented by one animal or another. Casanova had spiders for a while, then upgraded to crows via some really great drugs. Zephyr has snakes.
* [[Artificial Human]]/[[Robot Girl]] - Ruby Seychelle, Ruby Berserko. Sabine Seychelle does good work.
