Desert Bus for Hope if very excited to welcome Matt Fraction to the fray. He will be calling in on Saturday, November 16 at 6:00pm PST.
Matt Fritchman, best known by his nom de plume Matt Fraction, was the Eisner Award-winning brain behind The Invincible Iron Man, The Immortal Iron Fist, Uncanny X-Men, and Hawkeye for Marvel Comics. He also wrote Casanova for Image Comics.
Matt began his career creating comics with small publishing houses such as IDW Publishing and AiT/Planet Lar. He quickly became known for his work on his own books, The Five Fists of Science and Casanova, which earned him fancy gigs at Marvel Comics.
At Marvel, Matt wrote for Uncanny X-Men, The Immortal Iron Fist, Hawkeye, The Mighty Thor, and The Invincible Iron Man, for which he won the 2009 Eisner Award for Best New Series. He was also a consultant on the film Iron Man 2 and wrote the tie-in video game adaptation. Matt also wrote the limited crossover series Fear Itself for Marvel Comics and rebooted the Defenders series. He’s quite active on Twitter, as well.
Got a question for Matt? Add it in the comments below.
First off; love yours and David Aja’s work on Hawkeye!
My question is – what’s been the highlight for you so far working on Hawkeye? And who would win in a (friendly) throw down between the The Hawkeye Initiative and The Carol Corps?
Keep up the good work!
Dear Dr. Fraction:
Do you own any ukeleles and if so, how many?
Hawkeye or Hawkguy?
Matt, I’m a big fan of you and David’s take on Hawkeye. Were there any particular films or novels that had an influence on the tone of the book?
Who is your daddy and what does he do?
Do you think it would be possible for more comic-whales?
What is your stance on erotic Star Trek fanfiction?
How did you come by the last name of Fraction? Is it your birth name or did you change it to Fraction?
Can Hawkguy create a twerk arrow to make his enemies twerk uncontrollably? That’d be dope #teamhawkguy
What are your thoughts on erotic fan fiction?
Where did the idea for Sex Criminals come from? It is seriously my favorite new book of the year and makes me laugh all the time.
Thank you for making Hawkeye a character I care to read about. I guess that’s not really a question. Is it? There, that’s a question.
Who is your favourite character to write?
Dear Dr Fraction,
What is your favorite Marvel Character and why is it Pizza Dog?
Also, what made you decide to have every character in your book named Hawkeye?
Do you ever miss Artbomb? As a librarian, I used that to develop our graphic novel collections!
Sex Criminals is hands down my favorite new series this year. While keeping it family friendly if you can: Where’d the idea for Sex Criminals come from and what’s it like working with Chip Zdarksy? (Any good Chip stories would be awesome as well.)
I’m really enjoying Sex Criminals and it’s absurd what Apple’s doing w/r/t allowing it to be sold.
Dear Fraction,
Do you think you’d ever do a big event like Fear Itself again? What lessons did you learn doing it?
Since the piercing, how is your nipple doing? BTW, S.C. #1 was the best first issue of a comic that I’ve read in ages. Hawkeye is pretty awesome too.
Sex Criminals would basically be the greatest tv show ever made. Someone should make this happen. Any networks in mind?
What made you want to become a writer and what is the worse part of your job?
Also, if you can be one superhero, who would you be?
Hello sir,
I very much enjoy your writing, thank you for sharing your gift with the world. I am concerned about this whole anti-Eagles thing though and wonder if it extends even to the individual members’ solo efforts? Specifically, does that mean you even discount the wonder that is Glenn Frey’s “Smugglers Blues”?
Dear Dr. Fraction: What is one of your favorite or scariest monsters/creatures from fiction (comics, movies, etc.)
Dear Matt,
Whatever happened to the BatDan comic you created and can we expect that to ever be revived?
Incredible Hulk 340 still RULES!
Also, BRING BACK GRILLS.
I absolutely loved Iron Fist, and I’ve always wondered how writing was divided between you and Ed Brubaker.
Dear Dr. Fraction,
Are there any characters in the comic book universe that you have been really wanting to write for that you haven’t gotten a chance to work on a book for yet?
Who is your favorite cartoonist ever?
What’s your take on the Tess Fowler/Brian Wood situation? Have you witnessed this kind of sleazy behavior before in the comics industry? Any solutions?
And when will we see more Casanova?
Who is your Doctor?
Soooooo, when’s the crossover between Sex Criminals and Sex (by Joe Casey and Piotr Kowalski) and Criminal (by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips)? ; )
Sex / Criminal
Sex Criminals
