Casual Fling is a mini series that, initially, presents a great idea for a story, but ultimately gets a tad waylaid by the weight of its own nuances and fails to deliver any true closure for the problems that beset Jennifer and Matthew before golden masks and video tapes. Read Full Review

Casual Fling started as the kind of sex thriller you don't see much of in comics and lost its focus a bit in the middle, but at least it wraps up tidily, even if the finale lacks flair. Read Full Review

Disappointing story choices taint issue #4, which is too bad, since this series WAS a trashy-fun read before this installment. The "twist" from the last issue has virtually no impact. Now, out of nowhere, the antagonist is revealed to be a flat-out rapist, removing any and all of his subtlety, which conveniently helps avoid dealing with the questions the previous installments raised about how much one should be held accountable for their infidelity when they are seduced by someone with ill-intent. Somehow, despite making the villain more despicable, they manage to reduce his level of menace, and everything gets wrapped up far too tidily.

Also, there's an implication by one of the side characters (who seemingly speaks for the writer) that the work-at-home dad with the lesser career is responsible for his lawyer wife's infidelity by being too focused on raising their kids and not giving her enough attention. If the roles were reversed and the husband with a fancy job cheated, and if it was then implied that a career-sacrificing work-at-home mom was the cause, I doubt AWA allows this comic to be published. more

Comic-books can't get more shit than this one. Utter trash.
