A different type of read
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.
