Matt Fritchman[2][3] (born December 1, 1975),[2] better known by thepen nameMatt Fraction, is an Americancomic book writer, known for his work as the writer ofThe Invincible Iron Man,FF,The Immortal Iron Fist,Uncanny X-Men, andHawkeye forMarvel Comics;Casanova andSex Criminals forImage Comics; andSuperman's Pal Jimmy Olsen forDC Comics.

Early life

[edit]

Matt Fraction was born December 1, 1975, inChicago 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 wasBatman #316 (Oct. 1979), and he liked newspaper comicsPeanuts andDoonesbury. He became a regular weekly comic-book reader around the time that the 1985–86DC Comics storyline "Crisis on Infinite Earths" ended, but he found that storyline bizarre and impenetrable and gravitated towardMarvel Comics instead.Spider-Man became his favorite character, and he read other Marvel publications such asStar Wars andG.I. Joe.[3]

In the late 1990s Fraction worked as an employee at theCharlotte, North Carolina–based comics retailerHeroes Aren't Hard to Find,[4][5] and participated in theWarren Ellis Forum under the username "Matt Fraction".[6]

Career

[edit]

Fraction started in the comics industry by working for smaller publishers includingAiT/Planet Lar andIDW 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 onThe Five Fists of Science andCasanova, before taking on a number of assignments forMarvel Comics.

Fraction wrote two columns forComic Book Resources: "Poplife"[7] and "The Basement Tapes",[8] the latter withJoe Casey.

Fraction teamed withEd Brubaker for a run on Marvel'sThe Immortal Iron Fist.[9] The pair re-teamed onUncanny X-Men for a short time, after which Fraction wrote the series solo until leaving it in 2011.[10][11][12]

He wroteThe MightyThor andThe Invincible Iron Man, the latter of which led to his consulting work on the set of the filmIron Man 2 and writing theIron Man 2 video game that tied into that film sequel.[13][14]

In 2011, Fraction wrote theFear Itselflimited series, which was the central part of the crossover storyline of the same name.[15][16] In December 2011, he revived the seriesThe Defenders with artistTerry Dodson[17] and, in August 2012, he started a newHawkeye series withDavid Aja.[18]

As part ofMarvel NOW!,Fantastic Four was relaunched in November 2012 with the creative team of Fraction and artistMark Bagley. Its spinoff seriesFF was produced by Fraction and artistMike Allred.[19][20] Fraction left both series due to other work commitments.[21]

In February 2013, he was named onIGN's list of "The Best Tweeters in Comics", which described him as "the premier comicsTwitter personality."[22]

In 2013, Fraction andChip Zdarsky co-created theSex Criminals series forImage Comics. He and illustrator Christian Ward created theODY-C series in 2014, a science-fiction retelling of theOdyssey with the characters' genders changed to female.[citation needed]

In 2015, Fraction andFabio Moon returned toCasanova with a new eight-issue mini-series,Acedia. The series featured backup stories written byMichael Chabon with art byCasanova co-creatorGabriel Bá. Also in 2015, Fraction andKelly Sue DeConnick's company, Milkfed Criminal Masterminds, signed a two-year deal withUniversal 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 withLegendary 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 andElsa Charretier co-created the graphic novella crime series,November, forImage Comics.[25] Meanwhile, Fraction wrote his first series forDC Comics, the twelve-issue seriesSuperman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen which was drawn bySteve Lieber.

In 2020,Sex Criminals concluded with issue #69, volumes 2 and 3 ofNovember were released, andAdventureman, the long-anticipated series from Fraction andTerry Dodson and Rachel Dodson began releasing fromImage Comics, and his and Lieber's run onSuperman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen concluded, with a collected trade paperback entitledWho Killed Jimmy Olsen? being released in October.

Fraction served as a consultant for theHawkeye television miniseries, which was heavily inspired by his 2012 comic run. He also planned to make acameo appearance as a member of theTracksuit Mafia, but was unable to commit to this, due to complications stemming from theCOVID-19 pandemic.[26][27]

Since 2022, Fraction has been working on theApple TV+ showMonarch: Legacy of Monsters, on which he is a co-creator withChris Black.[28] The series debuted in November 2023 and Fraction wrote episode 9, "Axis Mundi".

In February 2025, it was announced that Fraction would pen the relaunch ofBatman in September that same year, with Jorge Jimenez providing the artwork.[29]

Personal life

[edit]

Fraction is married toKelly Sue DeConnick, a comic book writer and adapter ofmanga into English,[3][30] whom he met when they were both participants on the Warren Ellis Forum.[6] They have two children, Henry and Tallulah.[31]
