--> "It was sort of dirty pool because I knew One More Day was coming. But I took the shot and it was great. I don’t know if Peter Parker was the best marvel character to be married, and I understand [[BothSidesHaveAPoint both sides of the argument]]. When [[TropesAreTools his marriage with MJ worked]], [[TropesAreNotBad it worked very well]], but sometimes it seemed like [[CreatorsPest people didn’t know what to do with MJ]]. Way too often MJ would be relegated to hostage or obstacle. Too seldom did she play the role of supporter, friend or nurturer. I thought it was possible to do all of that, and maybe it’s a cheap shot, but I took it."

* "To Have and to Hold" (''Sensational Franchise/SpiderMan'' Annual #1 with art by Creator/SalvadorLarocca). The only Spider-Man story to ever be nominated for an Eisner award. Celebrated as one of the best Spider-Man stories of the last two decades.

* ''Sensational Franchise/SpiderMan'' Annual #1, the only Spider-Man story to ever be nominated for an Eisner award. Notably celebrated Peter and MJ's marriage shortly before the infamous ComicBook/OneMoreDay.

* ''Uncanny ComicBook/{{X-Men}}'' #500 (with Ed Brubaker), #501-529, #530-534 (with Creator/KieronGillen), including crossover with ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers''.

* LyingCreator: While advertising a crossover between ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'' and ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers'', Fraction said that [[GentleGiant Colossus]] will have important role, being their major power-up in a fight against a team featuring [[FlyingBrick Sentry]] and [[TheBrute Ares]], strongly suggesting that Colossus will have to fight one of them. He hasn't met either. Fraction also promised interactions between Noh-Varr and girls from ''[[ComicBook/NewMutants New X-Men]]'', possibly of romantic subtext, but he hasn't appeared anywhere near any of them.

* NiceGuy: In a very short time, he befriended basically everybody at Marvel, from Creator/BrianMichaelBendis to Creator/JephLoeb to WarrenEllis(although he'd actually made contact with Ellis years before as a regular poster on Ellis' webforum), and many writers admit they enjoy spending time with Fraction and sharing their story ideas with him. And this also extends to fans: at one San Diego Comic-Con, he apparently bought a fan a copy of ''Batman: Year One'', after hearing that the fan had never read it.

* ''ComicBook/SatelliteSam'', a [[FilmNoir Noir]] MurderMystery revolving around a television studio that's thrown into turmoil when the star of the title ''ComicBook/FlashGordon''-esque TV series is killed, leaving his son both stuck with his father's role and investigating his death.

Notable works by Matt-Fraction:

* BrokenBase: His tenure as writer of ''Invincible Iron Man'' firmly divided the fandom into people who loved his writing, and those that despised it.

* LyingCreator: While advertising a crossover between ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'' and ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers'', Fraction said that [[GentleGiant Colossus]] will have important role, being their major power-up in a fight against a team featuring [[FlyingBrick Sentry]] and [[TheBrute Ares]], strongly suggesting that Colossus will have to fight one of them. He hasn't met either. Fraction also promised interactions between Noh-Varr and girls from ''[[NewMutants New X-Men]]'', possibly of romantic subtext, but he hasn't appeared anywhere near any of them. To be fair through, Fraction couldn't know that at the time he'll be writing Utopia Noh-Varr will already be removed from the team.
