If he's such a great guy, he'd start one of those web-pool things in which he pledges to match so many pennies on every dollar until he reaches the limit he can afford. The above wouldn't make such a great headline for Marvel comics, though. I hate to be cynical, but this feels like publicity or promotional stunt.

It is great fraction helping people with it. As someone who was effected but not as bad some people I love the help to those who are in need. There are no with no power or no heat right now or living in shelters because homes are gone/destroyed. My mom works as real state agent and can tell you how bad keystone, nj was hit. Any bit can help right now. This is fun more people should be reading. It is great fraction helping people with it.

Last Marvel plan I saw, incentives for single issue comics started at 50,000 copies. Good on them if they lowered that threshold. And good move by Fraction. Still, buying a $3 comic so the writer will donate less than 4¢ (unless Marvel has also increased their royalty percentages) to the Red Cross isn't the most efficient way to help.

Though I always find myself wondering just how having all those heroes would affect events like this. Surely a Reed Richards could have mitigated things a bit, even if no one can actually change the weather without huge repercussions. This isn't to say that you don't write a story about Sandy in a Marvel comic. Real world things happen in Marvel and always have. But I am still left wondering. Maybe just wishing. Really cool.
