Me
>>155550684Mark is a pretty good writer he's just dickbag person online.
>>155550684Do they have to be cape writers?
>>155550684He's terrible.
>>155550775Sure. Start with that.
>>155550684Alan MooreGrant MorrisonAlex RossMike AllredDarwyn Cooke>>155550771Also me!

>>155551131I think we should keep it US-comic market. The market that Mark Waid swims in.You easily can get better writers from /a/ or Europe.
>>155550774The guy got a republican Iraq war vet fired for the crime of making an edgy joke about him on facebook.
>>155550684Chuck Austen for humanizing the mutantsRob Liefeld for defining the 90s instead of Waids silver age nostalgia slopBill Jemas for bold philosophy driven storytelling whereas Waids daredevil is utterly simplisticFrank Miller because he's not a corporate shill like Waid isDan DiDio because his work on O.M.A.C. and the New 52 proves he understoood character stakes and status-quo shifts way better than Waid could ever dream of That's just 5 way better than Waid, you could make a longer list
>>155550684
>>155551248You'd think Waid would be able to take edgy jokes.
>>155552476Damn nigga read comics
>>155551248based
>>155550684>>155550943Alan MooreKurt BusiekJ.M. DeMatteisRoger SternGrant Morrison
Mark Waid is currently writing a Justice League run so boring that I have not seen a single person talk about it, online or otherwise
>>155553606I never even heard of that.
Finger.Dini.O'Neil.Dixon.McDuffie.Kirby.This is six but no way am I leaving the king out.
>>155550684>Name five comic book writers better than Mark Waid.>Captain America edition>Stan Lee>Jack Kirby>Steve Englehart>Mark Gruenwald>Rob LiefeldThey're not Cap writers, but it'll really make Waid's day to say Scott Lobdell and Bob Harras too.

>>155557835Better to go with safe picks because even if a modern writer is good you'll have some contrarian faggot snob insisting he's not
>>155557835Why would we? Waid isn't a recent writer and the best writers are all older.If you want people to list modern writers ask something like:>Name the worst 5 writers that are better than Mark Waid.
>>155550684Mark MillarChristopher Priest when he's not doing contractually obligated Black charactersDonny Cates before the car accidentJM DeMatteisKurt BusiekDan AbnettGeoff Johns (despite the controversy)I'd throw in Alan Moore but I haven't actually read anything from him since we entered the 21st century.Kneel Gayman-despite the babysitter buggery, I still like Sandman and some of his other stuffAnd that's just superhero comics.I like Mark Waid
>>155557967>I'd throw in Alan Moore but I haven't actually read anything from him since we entered the 21st century.Top Ten and Tom Strong are among my favorite cape comics from the 2000s.
>>155551131>HiromiIt's HiromU you tourist.
>>155551131>>155558210Also Shiro is spelt with a W at the end.
>>155557967>Geoff Johns (despite the controversy)What controversy?
>>155558276Not anything sexual or political, just kind of fumbling DC post-RebirthAlso the inconsistent quality of DC movies when he was supposed to be DC's answer to Kevin Feige which is still partially his fault despite the mess that is Warner Bros
>>155558094I'll check those books out. Thansk

>>155557835look:mark russelcharles soulegerry duggangreg pakrick remender
>>155551131Kek all terrible
>>155559974Remender absolutely. The rest? No. Not even remotely. The first two have never written a good comic in their life, they have no right being as bad as they are.
Me. The person reading this. Op.That girl you had a crush on in highschool.The cashier at the last convenience store you shopped at.
>>155559994No, they're just not comic book writers.
>>155550684Why is he purple?
>>155551212None of these guys are better than me.
>>155561901Impressive.
>>155550684I don't hate Mark, don't get me wrong, but I'm not sure how to feel about DC making him "The" lore guide.Many writers have openly admitted that when it comes to the current status of DC continuity, it's more or less in his hands + they literally made him multiple minis where he sets straight what is and what isn't canon.Again, not against DC having a "lore mater", but some of his ideas just aren't sticking with me, and it's getting me worried DC might be giving him to much reign.
>>155562628I don't know a whole lot of DC lore but giving it all for one narcissistic fag to preside over and write his idea of it solely is not a good idea.
>>155563187Mark Guenwald and Kurt Busiek did it for Marvel in the 80's and 90's, and personally I'd rather Waid do it than Johns, who is probably just as equipped to do it but allied himself with Didio's New52 bullshit and that will forever make him sus to me.
>>155563205I guess. If I wrere the company I'd just care more than that but whatever.
>>155560133>The cashier at the last convenience store you shopped at.Nah, he's a hack.
>>155550684Kirby, Moore, Morrison, McDuffie and Miller
>>155550684The man behind the slaughter
>>155550684>Geoff Johns>Scott Snyder>Kelly Thompson>Deniz Camp>Dan Jurgens
>>155550684What's his best comic?
>>155565395Kingdom Come, because it was all Alex Ross ideas.
>>155565395Beats me. I haven't enjoyed anything he's written.
>>155561121He's evolving.
>>155550684Alan MooreNeil GaimanRick RemenderMike CareyMarjorie LiuMike BaronWarren Ellis
>>155550774>>155550775Waid's good at writing superhero comics, terrible at anything else. At Crossgren he tried his hand at detective fiction where he fully revealed himself as a "smart people are indistinguishable from wizards" tier writer.
>>155560709Manga is comic books you retard.
>>155561901>>155560042Jeff ParkerCullen BunnPeter J. TomasiChristos GageAndy Diggle
>>155550684Five monkeys locked in a room with a laptop. Waid is a fucking retard
>>155569909>CrossgrenCrossgen kind of sucked in general, everything felt pre-packaged to be designed as movie/TV pitches, they always drew characters to look slightly like actors that could be cast in an inevitable adaptation, whole line just felt like existed to be soft pitches for movie and TV.
>>155573148Well yeah, Alessi admitted that there was no possible way for them to be a profitable comics company with artists as salaried employees, and the plan was to hold out for at least six years until they could finally make money with tv/film deals. I give them credit for trying this as a multiverse with no superheroes whatsoever instead of being Image 2.0.
>>155550684Why does /co/ hate Waid now?
>>155574541Why not?
>>155550684No.
>>155550684i...i cant...
>>155550684why so purple?
>>155550684Jackie ChannJackie ChaanJackie ChhanJackie CChanJackie ChanJackiee ChanJackiie ChanJackkie ChanJacckie ChanJaackie ChanJ
I legitimately think Alex Ross is a better writer than Waid.
>>155566418Ross hates Kingdom Come, because he feels Waid twisted and ruined his ideas.
>>155550684Alejandro JodorowskyAlan MooreGrant MorrisonJaime HernandezDwayne McDuffieDarwyn Cooke (that makes six)
>>155550684BendisBendisBendisBendisBendis
>>155579126First obviously wrong answer.
>>155573864The problem is you have to do comics with cool looking characters that people will want to have merchandise of, all the Crossgen characters were boring, nothing "toyetic" about them.
Lets see,Alan Moore, Alex Ross, Jack Kirby, Garth Ennis and Stan Lee.
