About the series
In Fraction (2004–present, DC), a six-issue series from the early 2000s, writer David Tischman and artist Timothy Green II explore a world where superheroes are a corporate commodity, their powers bought and sold on a volatile market. The story follows a group of ordinary people who acquire a share of a hero's abilities, navigating the complications of fame, identity, and exploitation in a cynical, media-saturated society. This sharp, character-driven satire stands out for its prescient commentary on the commercialization of heroism and the human cost of celebrity.
