* NiceGuy: In a very short time, he befriended basically everybody at Marvel, from Creator/BrianMichaelBendis to Creator/JephLoeb to Creator/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.

--> "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 [[Administrivia/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."
