Matt Fraction: The Batmans Dreams of Hieronymus Machines

Via Warren Ellis, Matt Fraction’s brilliant bit of … let’s call it spoken-word, but it’s much better than that turgid hyphenated phrases makes it sound. It’s about comics, art, hospitals, traumatic brain injury, Batman, and dicking around on the Internet. Sound quality is kind of boomy and iffy, but it’s worth it. Watch and learn, kids.

This is his w00tstock performance; I saw him do it on Sunday afternoon at SDCC. That day, it was followed by Fraction and SNL comedian Bill Hader riffing on everything under the sun (and heckling the people who left early) for 20 minutes. It was great.

“That’s how I ended up writing Thor. I’d call the Thor editor and say, ‘Hey, what if it rained blood on an army of skeletons? Okay, bye!’” Matt Fraction, who was wearing the same yellow trainers that Bruce Lee wore in Game of Death.

At Hooters in the Gaslamp district.

Also happening in San Diego. Al Gore, Dee Dee Myers, and Newt Gingrich were speakers, and there were sessions like “Leadership ‘Machinery’ for Transitions-in-Care at Penn Medicine”.

Ornament coming soon from Hallmark.

Iron Man at the Stan Winston booth.

Yes, you’ve seen this before, but now it’s got Matt Fraction’s autograph on it too. I caught up with him before his Sunday panel, “The Batman Dreams of Hieronymus Machines” while he was riffing on the fight in Hall H yesterday. “Anyone who’s been going to Hall H for the last few years knew it was only going to be a matter of time before somebody got stabbed.”

Seen next to the Star Wars booth yesterday.
