About the author
Matt Fraction
1,227 books1,875 followers"How he got started in comics: In 1983, when Fraction was 7 years old and growing up in Kansas City, Mo., he became fascinated by the U.S. invasion of Grenada and created his own newspaper to explain the event. "I've always been story-driven, telling stories with pictures and words," he said.
Education and first job: Fraction never graduated from college. He stopped half a semester short of an art degree at Kansas City Art Institute in Missouri in 1998 to take a job as a Web designer and managing editor of a magazine about Internet culture.
"My mother was not happy about that," he said.
But that gig led Fraction and his co-workers to split off and launch MK12, a boutique graphic design and production firm in Kansas City that created the opening credits for the James Bond film "Quantum of Solace."
Big break: While writing and directing live-action shoots at MK12, Fraction spent his spare time writing comics and pitching his books each year to publishers at Comic-Con. Two books sold: "The Last of the Independents," published in 2003 by AiT/Planet Lar, and "Casanova," published in 2006 by Image Comics.
Fraction traveled extensively on commercial shoots. Then his wife got pregnant. So Fraction did what any rational man in his position would do -- he quit his job at MK12 to pursue his dream of becoming a full-time comic book writer.
Say what? "It was terrifying," said Fraction, who now lives in Portland, Ore. "I was married. We had a house. We had a baby coming. And I just quit my job."
Marvel hired Fraction in June 2006, thanks largely to the success of his other two comics. "I got very lucky," he half-joked. "If it hadn't worked out, I would have had to move back in with my parents.

5 Thick-Stars! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆
✯✯✯✯✯✪✪✪✪✪✩✩✩✩✩✰✰✰✰✰
Im addicted to this comic series. I can almost garantee a 4-5 star review with each issue. The art work was great as always. So good, that if there were no text bubbles, i would still be able to understand the story.
The plot twists took an unexpected turn towards the last pages. Without giving anything away, just saying...my jaw dropped.
The Weiner Truck was weird as f#%k but funny at the same time. And the song... holy f#%k balls! Insane! Who ever came up with the lyrics deserves an award lol or at least their d#ck sucked because i was reading with my mouth wide open... (why does that sound sexual?)
Oh and "Down with the thickness"... you know I'm listening to Down With the Sickness by Disturbed as i write my review :) (head banging) :P

Not gonna lie, kinda a bit bored of reading about a failing relationship from a guy who doesn't really realize that he is about to lose everything...again. Although, I like the artwork, I used to like the storyline. I guess it's just not cutting it for me much.....

We meet Badal for I'm pretty sure the first time, but have no idea how important he will become. The best stuff in this issue is the therapist's date with Jazmine, and the insanity of Huftch: Turn off Canada. The Jon/Suzie stuff is getting real hard to read, it's very real and uncomfortable.
