General Discussion Comic Books

When reading comics over the years I have learned that a good writer can make or break a series. There are certain authors I will purchase no matter which tittle they work on. Curious who are your top writers that you read each month no matter the series? Mine are as follows:

Robert kirkman (my no. 1. The walking dead. Invincible)
Dan slott
Bendis
Grant Morrison
Snyder

There’s definitely far more other greats but those are the first few that come to mind.

I can’t believe only one mention but anything Jeff Lenore touches is gold especially his indie stuff.

Williamson is also a solid work horse of talent

I notice several have mentioned Joshua Williamson who is also one of my favorites with flash right now. Would anyone have any feedback on the Birthright series he writes with image? I’ve been considering buying a few trades but thought I’d ask for feedback first.

Boxed in with the still writing for DC portion of the question and those who have passed, but I couldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t mention Jack Kirby, rip King.
