What's the story with this Fraction guy? Haven't read any of his stuff, just know it can be controversial but funny to read. Seen good reviews of his Hawkeye - but seems people criticise new issues a lot.

Fraction has a very distinctive style. Some of his is good (Casanova, Immortal Iron fist, Sex Criminals, first few issues of Hawkeye etc.) But sometimes it sucks. If you want to try soem of his, try Casanova or Hawkeye (or Immortal Iron Fist).

I think his mainstream work is not that strong. I can't believe the same guy wrote Fear itself and Sex Criminals. I think he is best with funny stuff like Sex Criminals or Hawkeye (there is drama in Hawkeye but there are a lot of hillarious stuff too). Originally Posted by lvizzz

He's married to the best writer. I guess he also writes stuff. Originally Posted by lvizzz

Just that Lemires at Thought Bubble this year so thought that might have been the signing you were referring to. Originally Posted by lvizzz

I'm interested in Titans new book, Ordinary. Ive never heard of the author or the book though. Can anyone recommend it or is it all brand new?

I've only read Hawkeye and Sex Criminals so far. I thought SC was overrated, but still very good. I thought Hawkeye was excellent. And I hate Hawkeye. I rarely read Marvel books, but the art in Hawkeye looked interesting and Fraction really wowed me. That said, I was very disappointed in Marvel for not releasing volume 2 and just skipping right ahead to the omnibus. As a result, I returned V1 and am now waiting for the omnibus.

My recent arrivals...
Stoked I finally managed to find the "Moebius Oeuvres" book for an very good price. It's cool to have all these stories in (what looks like) their chronological order. Only mark against it is that it leaves out "Eyes of the Cat" and "Tueur de Monde" but otherwise it's a perfect overview of Moebius' Metal Hurlant era ('71-'80) works
