Reprint Matt Fraction The Early Marvel Years pt1

By John Siuntres

Matt Fraction and Word Balloon host John Siuntres have a last call
conversation about the books he's wrapping up, and the ones that are just beginning.
From this week's debut of The Invincible Iron Man, to his wrap ups of The Order
and The Immortal Iron Fist, from co-writing the Uncanny X-men with Ed Brubaker, to wrapping up the current arc of his Image creator owned book Casanova. During the conversation Fraction said there is an eventual end in
sight for his run on Punisher War Journal, after which he'll turn
the book over to his pal, and current co-writer Rick Remender.Fraction discussed the road ahead, starting with the current Jigsaw arc."We're at payoff time for Punisher... I knew coming this book
I knew right away if you're going to make your stand on Punisher
do the ultimate Jigsaw story... Working with Rick Remender has
been a dream and has made the book sicker and more damaged
and explosive than I ever thought. If we could make a punisher
movie, it would be this story." "After the Jigsaw arc, there's a little secret invasion tie-in and then an
arc called King Frank...the Jigsaw arc and King Frank story is where
my bruns been leading to from the  beginning.After "King Frank" I'll
step aside, and just let Rick tear it up. That's the plan, things might
change, but that's the plan."Some other highlights from the audio interview...On The Invincible Iron Man, Fraction was pleased that the book ended up matching so well with the film, so new readers can jump on. "I had no advanced script to work from so it was me
trying to write the type of iron man comic that I hoped would
fit with the tone of the film." On bringing the threat of young Ezekiel Stane from the Order to the first IM story arc .
