The Weekly Worship: MATT FRACTION’s got comics “Uatu” read.

Yup, it’s witty; sure, it’s typical of our blog headlines; and, uh-huh, you bet we stole it. Don’t be surprised if half the comic industry starts stealing other elements from Matt Fraction in the coming weeks, as well. This man is on fire. But, before I go on to cover a pair of this week’s …
