[3] (born December 1, 1975),
[2] better known by the
pen name Matt Fraction , is an
Eisner Award -winning American
comic book writer , known for his work as the writer of
The Invincible Iron Man ,
FF ,
The Immortal Iron Fist ,
Uncanny X-Men , and

Marvel Comics ;
Casanova and
Sex Criminals for
Image Comics ; and
Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen for
DC Comics .
Early life
Matt Fraction was born December 1, 1975, in
Chicago Heights, Illinois .
[2] As a child, he developed an affinity for telling stories, and he enjoyed reading comic books and strips. The first comic he remembers buying was
Batman #316 (Oct. 1979), and he liked newspaper comics
Peanuts and
Doonesbury . He became a regular weekly comic-book reader around the time that the 1985–86
DC Comics storyline "
Crisis on Infinite Earths " ended, but he found that storyline bizarre and impenetrable and gravitated toward
Marvel Comics instead.
Spider-Man became his favorite character, and he read other Marvel publications such as
Star Wars and
G.I. Joe .
[3]
In the late 1990s Fraction worked as an employee at the
Charlotte, North Carolina -based comics retailer
Heroes Aren't Hard to Find ,
[4]
[5] and participated in the
Warren Ellis Forum under the username "Matt Fraction".
[6]
Career
Fraction started in the comics industry by working for smaller publishers including
AiT/Planet Lar and
IDW Publishing , many of which employed people that he had met on the Warren Ellis Forum; as such, he continued using the "Fraction" name as it was the one under which he had built a reputation.
[6] He became known early in his career for his creator-owned work on
The Five Fists of Science and
Casanova , before taking on a number of assignments for
Marvel Comics .
Fraction wrote two columns for
Comic Book Resources : "Poplife"
[7] and "The Basement Tapes",
[8] the latter with
Joe Casey .
Fraction teamed with
Ed Brubaker for a run on Marvel's
The Immortal Iron Fist .
[9] The pair re-teamed on
Uncanny X-Men for a short time, after which Fraction wrote the series solo until leaving it in 2011.
[10]
[11]
[12]
He wrote The Mighty
Thor and
The Invincible Iron Man , the latter of which led to his consulting work on the set of the film
Iron Man 2 and writing the Iron Man 2 video game that tied into that film sequel.
[13]
[14]
In 2011, Fraction wrote the
Fear Itself
limited series , which was the central part of the crossover storyline of the same name.
[15]
[16] In December 2011, he revived the series
The Defenders with artist
Terry Dodson
[17] and, in August 2012, he started a new
Hawkeye series with
David Aja .
[18]
As part of
Marvel NOW! , Fantastic Four was relaunched in November 2012 with the creative team of Fraction and artist
Mark Bagley . Its spinoff series
FF was produced by Fraction and artist
Mike Allred .
[19]
[20] Fraction left both series due to other work commitments.
[21]
In February 2013, he was named on
IGN 's list of "The Best Tweeters in Comics", which described him as "the premier comics
Twitter personality."
[22]
In 2013, Fraction and
Chip Zdarsky co-created the
Sex Criminals series for
Image Comics . He and illustrator Christian Ward created the
ODY-C series in 2014, a science-fiction retelling of the
Odyssey with the characters' genders changed to female.[

In 2015, Fraction and
Fabio Moon returned to
Casanova with a new eight-issue mini-series, Acedia . The series featured backup stories written by
Michael Chabon with art by Casanova co-creator
Gabriel Bá . Also in 2015, Fraction and
Kelly Sue DeConnick 's company, Milkfed Criminal Masterminds, signed a two-year deal with
Universal Television to adapt some of their comic books, as well as original TV series concepts. They also planned to use Milkfed Criminal Masterminds as a TV launchpad for other comic creators' properties.
[23] [
needs update ]
In 2018, Milkfed Criminal Masterminds signed another two-year overall deal, this time with
Legendary TV to adapt several of their creator-owned comics, as well as produce exclusive, original projects developed by the duo for television across traditional and non-traditional platforms.
[24] [
needs update ]
In 2019, Fraction and
Elsa Charretier co-created the graphic novella crime series, November , for
Image Comics .
[25] Meanwhile, Fraction wrote his first series for
DC Comics , the twelve-issue series
Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen which was drawn by
Steve Lieber .
In 2020,
Sex Criminals concluded with issue #69, volumes 2 and 3 of November were released, and Adventureman , the long-anticipated series from Fraction and
Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson began releasing from
Image Comics , and his and Lieber's run on
Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen concluded, with a collected trade paperback entitled Who Killed Jimmy Olsen? being released in October.
Fraction served as a consultant for the
Hawkeye television miniseries, which was heavily inspired by his 2012 comic run. He also planned to make a
cameo appearance as a member of the
Tracksuit Mafia , but was unable to commit to this, due to complications stemming from the
COVID-19 pandemic .
[26]
[27]
Since 2022, Fraction has been working on the
Apple TV+ show
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters , on which he is a co-creator with
Chris Black .
[28] The series debuted in November 2023 and Fraction wrote episode 9, "Axis Mundi".
Personal life
Fraction is married to
Kelly Sue DeConnick , a comic book writer and adapter of
manga into English,
[3]
[29] whom he met when they were both participants on the Warren Ellis Forum.
[6] They have two children, Henry and Tallulah.
