Also someone made a spelling mistake somewhere or used the wrong word and corecting them politely is fine since y'know, knowledge is awesome power whoo! And I met someone else who didnt like Fraction's work and I looked at him funny for a bit and said, `really?' and he said `yes, really' and I said `huh'. Then we both politely moved on.

And I met someone else who didnt like Fraction’s work and I looked at him funny for a bit and said, `really?’ and he said `yes, really’ and I said `huh’. Then we both politely moved on.

I never said you couldn't. I just like the guy, I like how he writes, and I find no evidence of affected style whatsoever. Hell, it's refreshing to have someone writing Uncanny who isn't aping old school Claremont for a change. Geez. Did you find Morrison's run on NXM to be too "hip" for you as well?

Checking your preview of the series, you said you were torn about picking it up, and I guess you decided to be cautious. But four issues in, it's totally great. Really fun, cartoony, laugh-out-loud funny stuff. Chris, every time an issue of the new Deadpool comes out I come on here hoping you’ve reviewed it.

That should have been "Dragonflye", not "Dragonlyte". My apologies. I’ll point out my own typo this time, even. That should have been “Dragonflye”, not “Dragonlyte”. My apologies.

I should now retreat back into my cave with a thousand shames upon my family, I suppose. And Dragonlyte, I'm very happy that you like Matt Fraction. Seriously, that's awesome that someone is enjoying it (actually, I'm sure most people probably enjoy his work). I believe I'll continue having my own opinion, though, thanks.

You "contribute" it to him, do you? You and that guy who "occurs" with peoples' opinions should get together. Some other Chris than the one who owns this blog said:

I like his style (The Order was terribly underrated), I like his "hip" (rolleyes) sensibilities, and I like HIM. No one else sorted me out with awesomely acronymed stickers at Heroes Con. Also, wouldn't the reveal at the end of Punisher been so much more gratifying if they hadn't broadcasted who the antagonist was... ON... THE... COVER?!
