In 2013, Casey launched new titles on the Man of Action imprint at Image Comics: Sex, a current critically-acclaimed series, originally previewed in Playboy, and his series The Bounce, now available as a graphic novel. Valhalla Mad debuted in May, 2015 from the man Comics Alliance described as ""the most dangerous man in comics."" In 2013, Casey created a one-shot comic, Modern Romance, for the prestigious 60th Anniversary issue of Playboy.
