What's your favorite comic writer working right now? From Marvel I'm really loving Bendis (Ultimate Spider-Man, New Avengers, Siege) Brubaker (Captain America) From DC, Rucka (Who has now left, but he did Detective Comics) Gail Simone (Wonder Woman, Secret Six) and at Image, Robert Kirman (Haunt, The Walking Dead, Invincible).

Marvel: Bendis (Spider-Woman *sigh*), Brubaker (Captain America)
DC: Bryan Q. Miller (Batgirl) and I'm sure I will say Gail Simone (Birds of Prey) shortly!

Bendis, the Fraction, Brubaker, Peter David, Jeff Parker(Agents Of Atlas), Paul Cornell(Capt. Britain; Dark X-Men) Greg Rucka, David Mack(Kabuki; his adaptation of Phillip K. Dick's Electric Ant started today)I dig Geoff Johns, really enjoying the Bryan Q Miller stuff, and Im about to dive into Gail Simone's Wonder Woman and BOP. On the indie side, Bryan Lee O'Malley, the creator of Scott Pilgrim, an incredible, fun series, I big hopes for the movie.
The 3 really epic writers I would say are Alan Moore(Promethea) Brian K Vaughn(Runaways;Y: The Last Man), and Neil Gaiman(1602; Sandman) Those tittles are the ones that I would say are life changers.

I need to read more I know but: Bendis, Brubaker x 10 (I love how this guy is sooo bold with moves. MAYBE not the best writer but . . . Bold.) Geoff Johns, Mark Millar, and the best for last, "The God Damn Frank Millar" PHA HA HA. If you didn't get the sarcasm I feel bad for you.

Haha, wow, walkka, wow!
I have not read much Geoff Johns (mainly the beginning of Teen Titans in 2003) but I'm excited for The Flash that is coming out. I'm sure I will add Johns' name to my list rather soon!

I used to be a big Johns lover, but he really jumped the shark for me with Superman: Secret Origins and Blackest Night. I really want to be excited for The Flash. I really do. But the fact that it's Barry, who had no real reason to come back, and not Wally, upsets me. Now Wally has no where to go in the DCU.

I agree completely. Barry is a great character but I want to see some Wally. I generally hate character resurrection in anyway so . . . ya. I would have liked to see what he would have done with Wally. |

Hands down it has to be Chris Yost and Craig Kyle for their amazing work on "X-23: Innocent Lost", "X-23: Target X", "New X-Men", "X-Force", and most of all, for creating my all-time favorite female in comic book history, LAURA "X-23" Kinney.

This really got me thinking ...
David Hine; particularly for Daredevil: Redemption - very few books actually upset/unsettle me, this one did
Ed Brubaker: most notably for his run on Daredevil and his Criminal and Incognito books
Brian Michael Bendis: likewise particularly his run on Daredevil
Greg Rucka: Queen & Country and Whiteout
Ron Marz: for everything he does at Top Cow
Brian K. Vaughn: largely for his work on Mystique
Brian Q. Miller: Batgirl - currently my favourite book
Alan Moore: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
I hate to think who I have missed!

Ummm...
Brian Bendis - Mostly for Ultimate Spidey, Alias, Daredevil and the continued ongoing loveliness of Powers. That's more than enough good work to make the list though.
Garth Ennis - Preacher, Punisher MAX and The Boys. Nuff said.
Warren Ellis - Doesn't always hit, but it's amazing when he does.
Ed Brubaker - More for Criminal and stuff than his MU work, but still.
Those are probably the only writers whose work gets automatically considered...

I would like to add Joss Weadon to my list. X-men, Buffy, Firefly and so one . . . I mean he did do Alien Resurrection (boo) but he did Toy Story . . . anyway ya. He is hit and miss but he is REALLLY good when he hits.

He did little work on both of those movies. Toy story was mainly written by the director and producers of the film. M. Night Shylaman did some work on Stuart Little. I find that a tad disturbing  |

I find that a tad disturbing Well I'm not sure about Alien. But he did enough to get credit. Toy Story though, From what I have read / heard via-interviews if that he was the one that gave Toy Story direction. He was also there as a consultant after they couldn't afford to keep him. The only reason he was unable to finish it was because Disney was unhappy with both his and John Lasseter work. When Disney said "do or die" they said they wanted to go down doing the movie they wanted and loved. So they grabbed Joss Whedon's script and modded it. |

Well it's up for debate because honestly, we don't know what really went on. But I believe the script was a combination of a lot of other drafts, and I mean a lot. It's true Joss could've had a hand in one of the drafts, but I doubt he had that big of a hand in it. If he did, I think he would've demanded he get more credit then he did when the film was released. Toy Story was written by 5 or 6 other writers so it's hard to figure out exactly who did what.
