Matt FractionSpeaker and Booking Agent Information

Fraction worked as an employee at the Charlotte, North Carolina based comics retailer Heroes Aren't Hard to Find in the late 1990s. Fraction started creating comics with smaller publishers including AiT/Planet Lar and IDW Publishing.

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 increasingly high-profile assignments for Marvel Comics. Fraction wrote two columns for Comic Book Resources: Poplife and The Basement Tapes, the latter with Joe Casey.

Fraction teamed with Ed Brubaker for an acclaimed run on Marvel's The Immortal Iron Fist. The pair re-teamed on Uncanny X-Men for a short time, after which Fraction wrote the series solo and left it in 2011.

He wrote The Mighty Thor and The Invincible Iron Man, the latter 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 the film sequel.

Fraction wrote the event limited series Fear Itself in 2011, which was the central book of the crossover storyline of the same name. In December 2011, he revived the Defenders series with artist Terry Dodson and in August 2012 he started a new Hawkeye series with David Aja.

As part of Marvel NOW!, Fantastic Four was relaunched in November 2012 with the creative team of Fraction and artist Mark Bagley and its spinoff series FF being produced by Fraction and artist Mike Allred. Due to other work commitments, Fraction left both series. Fraction is married with two children, Henry and Tallulah.

His wife Kelly Sue DeConnick is a comic book writer and adapter of manga into English.
