I recently discovered the power of Alan Moore in V for Vendetta, and then bought his DC collection and Watchmen, and I have officially become hooked on this Hobo-looking writers work. He is a freaking Genius.

Ultimate Spider-man has constant good writing. And, let's not forget, Stan Lee.

Y'know? Like in comedy clubs? Guy makes a joke, then badbom pssshh!

Ross

Miller

Moore

ELLIS

Ennis

Azzarello

lets here it for Giaman and MIller

Post Deleted.

I have mixed opinions about this guy: I hated 'V for Vendetta' (both the film and the graphic novel), but I really do like 'Batman: The Killing Joke'.

If you're talking best ever and not just the last 20 years, then Stan Lee, Gardner Fox and Roy Thomas come into the equation. without the efforts of these guys you probably wouldn't have the modern great writers.

Moore is good...

but don't forget Ennis or people like Greg Rucka who really shine when it comes to truly epic stories

M

J Michael Straczynski is a modern great, I think he gets overlooked.

"J Michael Straczynski is a modern great, I think he gets overlooked.

Ok my favorite writer atm is Geoff Johns, but I really like Grant Morrison and George Perez.

I do think that Alan Moore is amazing, and Ive only read Watchmen from him, heh

The only writer I feel can even be mentioned along with Moore is Grant Morrison. Alan Moore's work...every time I read it, I think it's the greatest thing ever, then he comes out with something else, and tops that. Who here has dabbled in Promethea?

Neil Gaiman.

I like Moore a lot, though.  Watchmen and Swamp Thing probably put him at #2 for me.

He's a terrible writer.The Dark Knight Returns is the only good thing he has ever written.His Marvel Team-ups were terrible,His Batman and His Daredevil are the same guy and Marvel retconned most of what he wrote for Daredevil,All his female characters are whores or strippers and they are either treated like sh#t,raped,or killed,All his main male vigilante characters have the same attitude and almost always go to far causing someone to die.He likes for characters to hit women and embarrass them as well..His Spider-Man in Marvel Team-up punched Sue Storm in the face,more than once,His Daredevil was always fighting Elektra or embarrassing her,His All-Star Batman treated Black Canary like a dog..In fact All-Star Batman treated everyone like a dog."

Amen to that.

Probably one of...if not the worse, writer I've seen.

i hate frank miller he can't stop his love for hookers


Brubaker
Moore
Johns
Lee
and Morrisson

obviously, it's just whatever floats your boat.  there are a lot of great writers out there.  but the one unarguable fact is that alan moore did more to change the comic book world than anyone, ever.  some may talk about the early guys, like stan lee, who kicked it all off, and of course they have to be recognized for their importance.  and then there are guys like frank miller who did a lot to bring back readers with edgier styles.  but moore took the graphic novel and turned it from pure entertainment to recognizable artistic literature.  you may hate watchmen, you may hate v for vendetta.  but there's a reason alan moore's name is alongside authors like hemingway and salinger on time's "100 greatest novels" list. 

Yep. Alan Moore is The Best Of The Best And Better Than The Rest

As for my other favorite writers:

Garth Ennis (Punisher Born and Punisher In The Beginning were sensational!)
Bendis (I didn't care for House Of M. The battles were the first and only I've seen that I couldn't tell what was going on and the story didn't fully take advantage of Mutants ruling over Humans at all. There was a hint of tension about that and then Wolverine and friends were off to take down Magneto. I mean seriously, they could have shown some Mutant agents going after Shang-Chi or something but NOOO!! And why didn't they...okay okay anyway, I really enjoyed reading New Avengers Vol. 1 and 2 (still need to read more) and I LOVE Ultimate Spider-Man so much! Such a great series. I need to continue that one too. And I got to check out Bendis' run on Daredevil)

Greg Pak (Planet Hulk is the best story I've ever read for my favorite superhero. 'Nuff said)
Koike (author of the only manga I've ever read in my life, the great classic Samurai Excutioner Vol. 1)
Fabian Nicieza (along with Punisher MAX and Ultimate Spider-Man, Cable/Deadpool is my absolute favorite series I haven't finished yet)

Moore, Morrison, Johns, Straczinski, Rucka, my 5 personal favorites

Tomasi is on his way there

Geoff Johns, and Stan Lee

At least she didn't put Bendis."

ouch lol

In my opinion Alan Moore is the best writer based solely on his writing ability, others come close but each piece of work he does is brilliant or almost brilliant. Other writers have produced individual work that is on par with his and if we were discussing the greatest comic creation ever, it wouldn't just be his comics up for nomination, but if i had to vote for the best writer, well...

Grant Morrison, Frank Miller, Warren Ellis, Brian Bendis, Garth Ennis and Ed Brubaker ( among others, but i have to stop name-dropping somewhere : ) have all written some of the most popular and acclaimed work of the last 20 years but each guy has produced some utter shite as well.

As for Stan Lee, i must say that even though i love his work, ( and i'm not fond of people hatin on "The Man") the reason why he was great was not because he was a great writer, but simply because he was a great creator.
