I’ve mentioned my love of Matt Fraction’s comics before, what with Casanova and Five Fists of Science and his run on Iron Fist. You want to know why I love his work?
I’d be remiss, however, if I didn’t at least point out that in this issue, Matt Fraction and Terry Dodson deliver what is unquestionably the Sensational Character Rediscovery of 2008 with the addition of Dr. Nemesis, a Golden Age character who co-created the Human Torch, fought the Invaders, and then spent the intervening time building new eyes and then using them to hunt down cloned Nazi super-soldiers and shoot them in the face with his guns made of science. And really, I don’t think I’m overstating matters when I say that a crotchety old super-genius hitman is exactly what the franchise has been lacking all these years.

Oh, did I mention that he has a picture of his son in a dog cage? Strega pointed that out to me. Clearly Matt Fraction and I are somehow related.
