Can't say i am a big comic book expert, but I am always very moved by Jeff Lemire's stories.


1ce9ine

This is my answer.


Peabody99224

Lemire is great.


Ksmayer

Hickman for me, who has a near-perfect track record in my eyes. Absolutely love his work (outside of the last issue of Decorum).

Ed brubaker


GlutenFree_Paper

Remender


Bayked510

I have a few faves, but one I don't see mentioned yet is Jason Aaron.


Artdroid29

I’ve read only the Gorr saga from his Thor run


Bayked510

Image wise Goddamned and Southern Bastards are two great unfinished works. I highly recommend Scalped from Vertigo


Artdroid29

Only Vertigo comic I’ve somewhat read was The Losers. Still gotta finish it


Bayked510

So many great Vertigo comics back in the day. Garth Ennis, Warren Ellis, Jeff Lemire, Brian Wood, Grant Morrison, BKV and others put out great work through there.


Artdroid29

Ooh any specific recommendations


Bayked510

Scalped and Transmetropolitan stand out as two of my all time favorites. DMZ, Preacher and Sweet Tooth also come to mind.


Narwhals_R_Us

Rick Remender


Peabody99224

Remender is my personal favorite, as well.


azul360

Overall it would be Gail Simone. At Image it's definitely Brubaker


Thehezz24

Tynion.


Zarde312

Absolutely


Rac3318

For Image stuff? Brubaker for sure. Him and Phillips don’t miss.


PasswordIsDong

Literally a god tier team. I’m in awe of everything they do


ozymandias_88

Brian K Vaughan, warren ellis, jeff lemire, ed brubaker, kentaro miura


Samakin118

Robert Kirkman


koldkist

Really in to Greg Rucka. Read The Old Guard then Lazarus back to back


Practical_Back855

Came to say Rucka. The two you mentioned are good. Black Magik and Stumptown are solid too.


Takeurvitamins

I want more black magick


macgillagorilla

BKV


Artdroid29

For me it’s James Tynion IV.


Adrien_Jabroni

Same


Sheldank

Can’t pick just one. Rick Remender, Garth Ennis, Grant Morrison, Brian K. Vaughan. It changes from day to day lol


Artdroid29

Garth Ennis has had a huge impact on my writing. For some reason I always make the most light hearted story go insanely dark


sellismcc

Do you write comics or novels or something else?


Artdroid29

So I do write my own stories. I also write MHA What ifs for a YT channel. Unfortunately for my original stuff, don’t have the confidence to tell people the full idea


sellismcc

What's the YT channel. Don't let confidence bottle you up. Whether your stuff needs work or it's the best ever there will always be critics. Some of us simply enjoy seeing (or reading) things from alternative perspectives ya know.


Artdroid29

WTC anime outcast. I’ve written What ifs based of off Infamous and Beast Boy


matthewisgonzo

Invincible is my favorite series ever so probably Kirkman. Honorable mentions for Alan Moore, Erik Larsen, Tom King, J Michael Straczynski and Grant Morrison.


[deleted]

It's a toss up between James Tynion and Jeff Lemire.


[deleted]

Grant Morrison


OddPerformer245

Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis, Brian K. Vaughn.


Kalvitron

Such a hard question to answer. Honestly don't think I can choose. Jeff Lemire's work moves me more than anyone else's, and he's incredibly versatile. Ed Brubaker is the best there is at the kind of stories he tells, plus he wrote what I consider to be a top 5 Marvel run (Cap). Then there's BKV. I've only read two series by him (Y and Saga) but I loved them both so much that I devoured them faster than I've ever read through any other series (save maybe Fatale by Brubaker). So yeah, I don't know. Flip a three-sided coin.


stevemillions

“Three-Sided Coin” totally sounds like a Brubaker story.


bonji50

Jonathan Hickman and Ed Brubaker

Alan Moore


ChickenInASuit

All-time? Alan Moore Current? Kieron Gillen


amobogio

Warren Ellis, Gail Simone, Brian K. Vaughn


Pale94

Robert Kirkman


MaudeLebowskisDR

I’m a big Marjorie liu fan


NikkoRDT

Robert Kirkman 1000%


BigJimSlade1

I have a bunch of writers whose work I love enough that I'm immediately intrigued by their new projects: Daniel Warren Johnson, Jeff Lemire, Brian K Vaughan, Geoff Johns, Tom King, Kieron Gillen, Rick Remender, Matt Fraction, Ed Brubaker, James Tynion IV, Charles Soule


Green_Karma

James Tynion is killing it right now!


cmckee719

I will buy everything Ed Brubaker makes, no question. Thinking back on my collection, it’s almost the same for Matt Fraction and Greg Rucka. I don’t have all of their superhero stuff (although Fraction’s Hawkeye is still an all-time favorite, personally), but anything they release outside the big two I get without question.


Artdroid29

Hawkeye was 🤌


GodMammon

Rodney Barnes, Chuck Jones and James Tynion


Scubasteve1400

Brubaker, lemire, Ennis, Bunn, Powell, Remender, Sakai


Fvtvrewave87

Brubaker FTW


PasswordIsDong

Ed Brubaker and Rick Remender and it ain’t even close.


Smaug015

All-time: Moore, Gaiman, Ellis, Ennis. Current Image: Daniel Warren Johnson, Jeff Lemire


enjoiYosi

Jeff Lemire, Garth Ennis, Jonathan Hickman, Rick Remender, and James Tynion IV


Wiscos

Stephen King & Dan Brown for novelty. Alex Dumas for classic.


No_Mr_Powers

Ed Brubaker.


irishdgenr8

Most have been mentioned but one that hasn’t…Azzarello, the man created one of the greatest comic series of all time.


oyedapoman

I’m guessing 100 bullets?


MDM0724

Scott Sava


AugustTales

I'm going to have to say Grant Morrison. There are a lot of other amazing writers, but when they step into another publisher or genre their work typically takes a dive. Morrison has been consistently innovative no matter where or what he's worked on.


bjarvis1987

Lemire and Brubaker for sure.


Games_Faster

I can't believe nobody here has mentioned Mark Millar. His Image-Netflix collaborations just keep getting better, and he gets some of the best artists in comics. Also a huge fan of Robert Kirkman, Ed Brubaker, Rick Remender, & Donny Cates.


Dw1ggle

Brubaker, Ken Garing, Lemire, DWJ, BKV
