My Top 10 Writers of 2014!

Totally Biased.

<SWAG>

HONORABLE MENTIONS: Greg Pak, G Willow Wilson, Bob Fingerman, Gail Simone, and Brian Michael Bendis.

List items

  • Williamson hit it big this year! All three of his ongoings this year ranged from great to excellent! Loved Ghosted volume 1. Nailbiter is one of my favorite new series this year, and Birthright has been impressive so far. Out of all the writers, Williamson stood out for me throughout the whole year. People should check out all his comics. I guarantee at-least 2 of the books will grab you after the first issue!

  • Geoff Johns had a phenomenal 2013 and continued that trend in 2014. Justice League is the most consistent book out there. There is never a bad issue. Geoff Johns MADE me a Superman fan after he took over SUPERMAN. This man is the modern-day DC God! His Flash, Green Lantern, and Aquaman runs are inspirational.

  • I almost lost hope in Kirkman while he was writing ALL OUT WAR Walking Dead arc. It left me disappointed, but he gained by trust back with the flash-forward in issue 127. Walking Dead is still going strong after all these issues and years! And I only head positive things about Invincible. Kirkman also launched a fantastic new horror series OUTCAST.

  • The man behind Superior Foes. Enough Said.

  • Charles Soule was the breakout writer of 2013 and he continued his rise in 2014. I still don't know how he manages to write so many comics and also practice law in real life. Even though he had some misses this year, he still wrote some of my favorites like Death of Wolverine, Swamp Thing and She-Hulk.

  • This guy knows how to write captivating stories! That's why many people love the Injustice comics. I really really enjoyed his Earth 2 run after he took over from James Robinson. He also made me interested in Iron Man with the current Superior Ironman series. Can't wait to see what he writes next!

  • I'm not a Rick Remender fan. Most of the time, his books and writing style just does not grab me at all. I thought Uncanny X-force and Venom were not bad. Couldn't get into Uncanny Avengers, Captain America, and Black Science, but DEADLY CLASS hit a home run! I love everything about that book! It totally different from anything Remender does. It is something special.

  • Southern Bastards is amazing. That's all.

  • Lemire was my favorite writer of 2013, but he dipped down a bit this year. It was mostly because I was disappointed by Justice League United. But he still had a great year finishing off all his best series like Trillium, Animal-Man, and Green Arrow. Lemire's Green Arrow run will always be something special in my heart.

  • He is the king of writing DC's most over-looked and lowest selling comics. He wrapped up All Star Western with Jonah Hex in a beautiful way. The G.I. Zombie series is also a great read. He also co-writes the fun Harley Quinn series which I enjoy surprisingly.

A damn fine list, I may make my own (although I will probably only do 5 or 10). I'm also glad to see Geoff Johns get recognition, lately people have really been forgetting just how important he is, and how much he's done for the industry.

Good list. Geoff Johns has been a frequent target of internet d-bags lately so I'm glad he made it here. One of my all time favorite comic book writers. He writes great and fun superhero comics and is pretty damn consistent.

@syncig: Yeah I don't get that either, he's a great writer, and an all around nice guy who's super respectful of everyone. That guy does more for comics and the fans then any other writer currently working in the industry these days, and yet people don't seem to care. Sometimes I think it's because he still enjoys writing more conventional super hero comics, which sadly, is something people seem to be looking down on these days.

@captainmarvel4ever: His superhero style does seem to be a part of it. Plus he occupies a higher position within DC so a lot of people just assume that he has a lot to do with the direction of the New 52 and specifically the decisions that enrage internet folks. Geoff Johns is a massive part of why I became such a giant fan of DC comics back when I first started reading. I have A LOT of his stuff in omnibus/trades. I just need to get his JSA run now. I'll always defend him whenever people are unfairly bashing him.

@syncig: Same here, I remember the early days when I was getting into comics, the New 52 was really new, and Injustice had started getting some trailers, and I remember him and Jim Lee being the faces of DC, and that left a big impression on me. What's funny is I actually have a legitimate reason to dislike him, because of how much he drastically changed Captain Marvel (although I think he only did that because studios wanted him to make a more movie friendly version of the character), and I still idolize the guy. He's one of my 3 all time favorite writers, along with Jeff Lemire and Brian Azzarello (or as I like to call them, "the trinity of awesome").

@captainmarvel4ever: My trinity of awesome is Geoff Johns, Scott Snyder, and Mike Mignola. Jeff Lemire gets a special nod though as he is probably number four. Azzarello is fantastic as well. His Wonder Woman run is what made me like that character.

Nice list!

I enjoyed Justice League United though I do agree it wasn't as great as the hype of Lemire writing. I think Lemire was amazing with Green Arrow though only good with Justice League United. Nevertheless I do enjoy the series.

Geoff Johns is writing some amazing Superman right now. That has to be the best I read from him in a long time. Joshua Williamson's Ghosted was amazing from the issues I got my hands on.

I really need to read this Nick Spencer guy you speak of.

Oh please do! Nick Spencer's writing is just getting better and better!

His newest comic ANTMAN, which came out last week was also phenomenal! Give it try!

@madeinbangladesh: I am! I just got some digital codes for it! I was planning on buying though my comic shop was all sold out yesterday with the exception of overpriced variants.

I think I'll love this guy. His writing style sounds like something I've been wanting out of a comic for a long time.

I'm pretty sure Nick Spencer wouldn't be on your Top 10 writers of 2016. XD
