    I just got into reading trades this year and I've already read

    American Vampire Vol. 1 & 2

    Batman Vol. 1 & 2

    which are all written by Scott Snyder. I want to get into reading some marvel trades but don't know which writer to pick from, I've been considering one of these three writers

    Mark Waid

    Matt Fraction

    Jason Aaron

    Would someone be able to tell me which writer is the most consistent out of the bunch or recommend any others? Thanks

    I think it depends on what you're talking about. It sounds like you're trying to read current stuff in which case you're probably talking about Daredevil and Hawkeye when you mention Waid and Fraction, right? Both seem to be very strong. But your enjoyment of those books might not be indicative of how you'll enjoy older stuff by either.

    I'd also recommend looking into something from Chris Yost -- tradewise I think that means Scarlet Spider or Avenging Spider-Man, if the first volume of that is out.

    Aaron is good. Waid is good. Fraction is amazing. Read his stuff. Personally I recommend FF.

    Matt Fraction is on FF, and it's good.

    I'd also recommend Kelly Sue DeConnicks work on Captain Marvel and Avengers Assemble.

    Matt Fractionn is awesome. Hickman does epic sci-fi. Brubaker (who just finished at marvel) does famtastic noir. Remender just completed a huge brilliant x-force run. Also Jeff Parker does great stuff too.

    What about Brian Michael Bendis or Ed Brubaker? There's so much for me to chose from.

    Fraction's Hawkeye is perfection. Waid's Daredevil is a very close second. You can't go wrong with either.

    Right now Fraction is the best writer in both Marvel and DC IMO, he's Hawkeye series is one of the most fun comics I've ever read.

    Don't get Jason Aaron's Incredible Hulk, it started pretty good but got worse and worse and the volume went on.

    I'm painting a target on my head by telling you this but Bendis is a very good writer and you should totally check him out. His current Guardians of the Galaxy run has me hooked and we are only on issue 3.
