About the author

"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.

Mr "I'm creepy as hell which incidentally is where I came from."

[J.R. Koop · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sometimes, I get too caught up in the style of a comic, and not the actual plot. Entirely my fault. But the approach to the flashbacks in this issue was simply stunning; the colour palette really made the story come alive. What really kept my attention was the fact that the emerging villain (however small his impact may appear), it clashes entirely with the colours used throughout, and makes him just that little bit creepier. Never mind his suave qualities.

Aww Bro, you really from hell, eh? Breaking heart twice in two issues and ending on the same scene you are breaking hearts here and I am going to keep on reading.

I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I Love comics to the bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

Good introduction of the new vilain.
Loved the color scheme for some reason
Aw, Clint.
Aw, Grills.
Yes, Kate.

[Jelke Lenaerts]

This one wasn’t my cup of tea. It was a bit confusing. The story felt a bit lacking as well. I get that this is introducing a new character/villain into this series but it felt a bit lackluster to me.

backstory on the creepy guy aka clown-esque villain with a gvn who shot gils and for some reason kate flirts with him at a party

things are vague and his "i told you. i came from hell." bit is chilling as the lack of information persists

Girl gets interested in suave nonchalant mysterious who turns out to be more than she bargained for. Classic.
