| If you were buying a comic based only on the writer, who would you trust most to not disappoint you? For me it used to be Alan Moore, recently I would have to say that it's Hickman. And if you care to, share your age. I'm 51. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics I will admit, I read about 95% in TPB form. I just finished Hickman's Manhattan Projects and you are absolutely correct, I never would have made it past issue 2 or 3 if I was reading it monthly. His delays are also the reason I never got to finish East of West. |

| I'm 32, and Alan Moore is also the first writer that came to mind. I very briefly considered Frank Miller, but I think that we all know he's had some stinkers. Neil Gaiman also comes to mind. I think that I have enjoyed everything from Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, and Jonathan Hickman. These are based strictly on comics that I have read, and I usually do my research beforehand, so I could be off-base on some of them. |

| I agree with Alan Moore - I usually love any comic he is involved with. These days I buy stuff from Jeff Lemire, Matt Kindt, Scott Snyder, Charles Soule & Brian Wood. |

Quote:Originally Posted by theCapraAegagrus Basically my list. Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Morrison and Johns. I'd add Tom King for more psychological thriller components and James Tynion rarely disappoints (though it's not always stellar).

| Stan Lee is probably the guy who has written the most comics I enjoyed. The first 100 issues of both Spider-Man and Fantastic Four is hard to top! Carl Barks is a name that hasn’t been mentioned here yet, but his work is absolutely brilliant. In the 80s I like Ostrander, DeMatteis, Claremont, Peter David and Alan Moore the most, among many others. Some writers who have written many of the stories I enjoyed, Like Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, Marv Wolfman, Len Wein, Robert Kanigher and Gerry Conway have also written their share of clunkers over the years, but still have a pretty good batting average. I also agree that Jeff Smith’s Bone is awesome! I am sure there are many great writers I have neglected to mention (Jim Shooter comes immediately to mind). I know absolutely nothing about moderns and if you mentioned the name of the latest “hot” writers of comics I wouldn’t have a clue who they were or what they wrote. At age 52 I am on the verge of becoming an old curmudgeon! | ||

| Tynion had a good size run on Detective Comics and most recently on Batman, and he also co-wrote some of the New 52 Batman run that Snyder and Capullo did. I've been meaning to check out SIKTC. Also, when I saw the post, I was thinking more current writers. If I'm going writers of all time, for me it'd be Stan Lee, Denny O'Neil, Alan Moore and Frank Miller. I also need to throw a shout out to Jeph Loeb as he wrote 2 of my favorite Batman stories of all time (Long Halloween and Hush), and I thought all of his Marvel "color" titles were great, especially Spider-Man: Blue. |
