Hotsauce, am I missing something by not snagging Sex Criminals? I browsed the first issue and wasn’t blown away. But I mean, it’s Fraction and Zdarsky. And as this cover for the fourth printing of the title’s first issue (buh?) proves, these two are fucking amazing.

Hit the jump to check out the cover.

After the last Man of Steel trailer left my testicles wanting of reproductive juices, I decided I needed to change my opinion on David Goyer. So I was beginning to think maybe I should check out his show Da Vinci’s Demons. Now – fuck – I really need to get on the wagon. What is the cause of this imminent necessity? Two of my favorite writers will be penning episodes for the show’s second season.

This panel from Hawkeye had me busting gut when I read it, and now that I know the secret story behind it, the magic is doubled. Nay! Fucking tripled. So good.

I finally, finally, finally gave Casanova: Avarita my first complete read through last night. It’s some delicious hypertextual insanity, at times sacrificing coherence and character development for kinetics out the fucking ass. That’s fine with me. It does some really interesting things, especially when it gets metatextual. Sometimes the ponderings are centered around the act of creation, and sometimes the ponderings take such a form as the image above. It’s the sort of effervescent insanity that Fraction has to staple down for the most part in his Marvel marvelings, which is unfortunate because it is here where he really hits his stride. He’s been able to channel it in the (sadly nixed) Defenders, and I’m anticipating his collaboration with Allred on FF will continue in such a spirit.

How can you replace Jonathan Hickman on Fantastic Four? You can’t, you turkey! Not even Matt Fraction will fill that void for me, and ya’ll know that is saying something. Matt Fraction. Gorgeous head of hair, lovely sets of stories. Not even he can saddle up to Fantastic Four without me screaming “Not my Dad! Dammit!” What I am very excited for is the sister title FF, which seems to be going in a brilliantly Fractionian direction.

Oh golly. Not only is Jonathan Hickman leaving Fantastic Four this year, it also appears that Matty Fraction is throwing up the deuces towards Invincible Iron Man. This saddens me a great deal, Fraction and Larocca having delivered quality Anthony Stark tales for the past, what, four years? Damn. Double damn.

Sweet merciful lord, bare pity on me. I am not worthy of all the hotness that Image comics continues to unfurl. I am not. However, with your blessing I will sweat all over them like the excited fanboy I am. New works from Fraction? Graham? And more?

Everyone in the Avengers fucking party! I know, I know. Spreading thin, et cetera. I don’t care. Hawkeye  by Fraction and Aja is coming, bringing with it a groin swell from my corner of the room.

Covers and deets post-jump.

I first really began to take notice of Matt Fraction during his stint on Iron Fist  with Ed Brubaker and David Aja, many moons ago. A lifetime of funny books since. Now the Fraction-Man and Aja are going to be reteaming it seems, and this has my balls aflutter.

Spending Friday evening on Twitter like a true Beast of Dorkey and I came across this Matt Fraction tweet. I’m hoping  he’s serious, since Casanova makes my tits hard like nobody’s business. Who knows though? Dude is generally hilarious and off-the-cuff. Could be a total feint. Fraction is one of my favorite writers, and if I got to see him open up that unique mind of his across another self-generated universe in addition to Casa it would be too good to be true.
