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.

Despite Suzie’s house being burned down, and losing everything... at least she and Jon made up. :) I am surprised Suzie was not the least bit mad at her mother. I mean she acts like a kid and her actions had results that affected not just her.
I do like the cover. It’s simple yet makes you do a double take. I love the art and colors chosen.

The moment we've all been waiting for, with a bitchin' Brady Brunch style intro, and a lot of feelings aired out.
Hey guys, buy their merch.

This arc kind of teetered off if I'm being honest. It kind of felt like a placeholder or a means to an end. That said, I'm going to be so sad when this all comes to an end; it feels like I've grown up with these characters in a very real way.
I've felt for a long time that every couple in a serious relationship should read this series. Hell, this should be taught in schools as a part of the sex-ed curriculum. The way Matt and Chip fearlessly explore the concepts of sex and relationships is staggering. The humor that they bring opens the door to honest conversations about the things that are sometimes hard to talk about and difficult to express.
If they've taught me anything, it's the importance of being honest not only with the people you love but most of all with yourself.
I'm gonna miss these moments - I really am.

This issue was perfect, absolutely perfect. Everything came together in such a perfect way that I can't stress enough, it was perfect. Jon and Suzie are supposed to be together, some things in life are just supposed to be a certain way and that's one of them. The ending was so sweet and great but we still have Badal to deal with, so there will be more issues which I obviously can't wait to read. This series is so honest about a subject that people just aren't willing to talk about, sex, and it's challenging and refreshing and just great in so many ways. That is all.

Well the fire storyline in this hit harder than it usually would, seeing as I've been worried about our house burning down for a week due to wildfires around my town. That was intense. I love the "spooky action at a distance" conversation. The ending of this issue gave me such feels, when Jon and Suzie reunited. *sniff*.

From Jon's funny retorts to the wavefunction feature, this comic just hit right into the comedy and the feels.
