OT: Matt Fraction interview
Techland kindly sent me notice that it has an interview with Matt Fraction up, whose always been a nice guy whenever I run into him, so read it and buy his comics.
Although I liked Watchman better than he did:
PH: Did you think Watchmen sucked?
MF: I did, but I thought The Dark Knight sucked too, save from the Joker bits. I loved the first half, I was little tired in the second half, and in the third half I wanted to leave... Avatar is the first movie I've seen where it made me feel like I needed to up my game. In terms of what comics could do, Avatar was the first film that touched anything close to what comics can do.

Matt Fraction at Laughing Ogre Comics
Come and Meet Matt Fraction!
Writer of Invincible Iron Man, Uncanny X-Men and Casanova
September 13th, 12pm - 4pm
Lansdowne, VA
Matt Fraction, the writer of such notable titles as Invincible Iron Man, Uncanny X-Men and Casanova, will be signing at Laughing Ogre Comics Lansdowne on Saturday September 13, from Noon until 4:00 pm.
Mr. Fraction was kind enough to answer some questions for us about his writing and comics in general.
1. Which X-Men character is your favorite to write and why?
Right now, Cyclops. He's in an absolutely fascinating place right now, and it's just going to get more engaging as we go...
2. What makes your books different from the same titles five years ago?
Well, I think the X books are all discretely defined and each one has a unique identity and serves a function no other book in the X-line addresses. And, as you may have heard, there are "No more mutants." We're dealing with the X-Men in a time when they're not just sworn to protect a people that hates and despises them, but they're an endangered species. The future of humanity has been snuffed out. That's the spine of the X-Universe right now; that's the core of everything. And, for my money, that's a big turn from the epic and wonderful Morrison era, where there were millions and millions of mutants.
In terms of the Iron Man book, we're in the early days of a long reckoning for Tony Stark. He has a lifetime of sins that are going to demand atonement, regardless of whether he's ready or not. So Tony's on the precipice of a very brutal road...
3. Why was Tony right?
Was he?
4. What is the biggest difference between writing a team versus a solo book?
It's tricky making sure everyone has enough stage time in a team book; in a solo book, you can spend more quality time with your lead. There's a lot of balancing to be done in a team book...
5. Is continuity something to be embraced, or rewritten?
Neither; I think continuity is something to be respected but evolved. Consistency is the watchword.
We are very excited to have Matt Fraction in store! If you have any questions about the event, or need directions to our Lansdowne location, please email us at norah@laughingogrecomics.com, or call (703) 437-9530.
