And also, to help others.
The time seems to have inspired some comic book creators to look deep within themselves and share the results with their readers.

Hawkeye Volume 1: My Life as a Weapon, from Marvel Comics, written by Matt Fraction, with art by David Aja and Javier Pulido
Well, who are we to argue with the Angouleme Official Committee? While it is arguable that the book reaches its heights of creativity with later issues, that's to belie the remarkable sea change[...]
It's always possible.
There have been some whingers and moaners but a) it got on the Official Selection for Angouleme, which hasn't happened for a Marvel book for an age b) Matt Fraction has been busy writing Fantastic Four and FF writing Inhuman writing Sex Criminals and Satellite Sam and they're also really good comics and[...]
So, a few credits on upcoming comic books have been changed, amended, expanded, or dropped in a bin and burnt, with new creators rising from the ashes.
We all know about Haden Blackman replacing Zeb Wells on Elektra and Charles Soule replacing Matt Fraction on Inhuman, right? Well, here are a few recent changes 'twixt solicitations[...]
It was to have been Matt Fraction's big revival of the Inhumans The characters created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby for the Fantastic Four, recreated and spread out across the Marvel Universe And the big Marvel event of the winter, spinning out of Infinity.
The overall arc, Inhumanity, was launched in the last few weeks,[...]
Inhumanity #1 came out last week, and Marvel are already putting out a second print, on sale the 29th January.
But it seems as though preorders on Inhumanity: Medusa #1which follows it, may not have been as high as they might have liked.
So it is being retitled Inhumanity #2.
Same book, same creative team of Matt Fraction[...]
And there's also Secret Avengers #12, which is listed on Diamond's forms as an Infinity crossover… but isn't.
No, the main event is Inhumanity, and Inhumanity #1 by Matt Fraction and Olivier Coipel New Inhumans Exploded Attilan Gone Black Bolt But the comic is only about Karnak The Inhuman with super strength, speed and agility –[...]

"Execution Days" by Matt Fraction and Gabriel Bá
Okay, so I'm just gonna come right out and say it—I'm pretty much insanely jealous of Matt Fraction, Gabriel Bá, and Fábio Moon's Casanova series…
And I say this as someone who absolutely loves a ton of books by a ton of fantastic[...]

Today's Sex Criminals #3 from Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky gives you many great things One of which is a musical number That was the plan any way And which particular tune did they have in mind?
Of course But the lyrics are replaced by a narrative of the creators explaining their plans and why things[...]
So I'll be looking for certain folk to go in my stead.
There will be Robert Kirkman, Matt Fraction, Rick Remender, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Brandon Graham, Marian Churchland and surprise guests And lots of new projects to be announced…

It's another striking cover for the series from artist Chip Zdarksky, this time flipping over to intense yellow from issue 1's hot pink, and writer Matt Fraction provides a hilarious recap on the interior that trails off in its page by page summary of issue 1 We get a recounting of Jon's history recognizing his[...]

Sex Criminals #1 by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky has sold out its first print run of 46,000.
Worth considering that this comic sold more copies to retailers than Matt Fraction's Hawkeye #1 for Marvel Not bad for a bawdy mature readers comic about early masturbation, sex and an allegory for the transformed world that sexuality[...]
Matt Fraction writes and Chip Zdarsky is on art in this book that definitely starts by making a strong impression There's an interesting shift between crisp inking around colors on the first page in traditional panel grid and a full page spread of our narrator's liason washed in fuzzy lighting and pastels That kind of[...]
Well, we were the first to run that over the weekend, it seems. But it looks like they finally turned the AR on New Avengers #10 on, so we get...

"To Have and To Hold" by Matt Fraction & Salvador Larroca
Once upon a time, I famously (well, internet famously anyway) threw a stink bomb onto the soul of fandom when I wrote a piece in defense of the largely reviled One More Day storyline that erased Spider-Man's marriage to Mary Jane.

We thought a repeat may be in order…
With a book like this, it's tempting to conjure up a conversation.
"Howard, what do you want to draw?"
"Sharp suits from the nineteen fifties! Science-fiction! People smoking! Men with jaws! Babes posing in lingerie! Crowd scenes! Metal staircases!"
And then Matt Fraction went away and wrote Satellite Sam[...]
Matt Fraction, as well as talking about his already announced books such as Sex Criminals (the second issues of which has the tagline Come World) has also announced Ody-C with Infinite Vacation's Christian Ward, "the second adaptation of the Odyssey at Image Comics!"
Fraction has gender swapped the traditional roles of characters in this story, so[...]
