About the author
Matt Fraction
1,221 books1,864 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.

4 Mini-Stars! ☆☆☆☆
I miss Jon and Suzie. This story was more about Kegel-face and a new criminal. I cant say i cared for his story too much. Jesus is he weird... first of all, the first p#ssy he sees is his mother's and to top it off he can stop time by having just being held by his mommy...? Umm... okay. His method is a lot different than what i got used to. He never has sex and he can still stop time?
And he makes little clay toys that comes alive...yeah...real weird.
"We're cops. Sexual cops. And you just got f#%ked." -haha! Myrtle Spurge, AKA: Kegel-face has the funny lines.
"Always vigilant. Always ready togo. Always masturbating, but never finishing." -Hahaha! What?! :)

An issue of Sex Criminals that is a parody of Ed Brubaker and Sean Philips' Criminal? Sign me the fuck up. Chip does his best Sean Philips impersonation, and it's wonderful. The story is absolutely batshit bizarre, another crazy origin of a Quiet-walker so to speak. Plus a bit more insight into Kegelface. Good stuff.

This series is a goddamn treasure.
Another weird side-story, but so... so good.

I mean I used to think it was funny, but after the long break I don't know anymore. I don't know if it's worth the money to keep it on my pull list...

Another solid issue of Sex Criminals. This is my favorite comic book coming out right now. It never disappoints.
I didn't love this issue as much as other, but it was a fun side to get and I'm excited to see where this new person will play a role.
