Career
Fraction wrote two columns for Comic Book Resources: "Poplife" and "The Basement Tapes", the latter with Joe Casey.
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 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 until leaving it in 2011. He is currently writing The Mighty Thor and The Invincible Iron Man, the latter of which led to his consulting work on the set of the film Iron Man 2. He also wrote the Iron Man 2 video game that tied into that film sequel.
In 2011 Fraction wrote the event limited series Fear Itself, which was the central book of the crossover storyline of the same name. In December 2011 he launched a new Defenders series with artist Terry Dodson. In August 2012 he launched a new Hawkeye series with David Aja.
