[Dusty.]

Only top 5.

writers

1. JMS
2. Matt Fraction
3. Paul Cornell
4. Mark Millar
5. Dan Slott

artists

1. Steve Epting
2. Phil Jimenez
3. David Finch
4. Alan Davis
5. Mike Deodato

The top writers seem to change much more than the top artists.

[Guest_1001]

For writers, I'd have to say:

1. Paul Cornell.
2. Ed Brubaker.
3. Christos Gage.
4. Mark Millar.
5. Dan Slott.

And for artists, I think . . .

1. Bryan Hitch.
2. Steve Epting.
3. Leonard Kirk.
4. Mike Perkins.

And I don't really have a fifth one. I might've said Mark Bagley a few years ago but I've come a long way since Ultimate Spider-Man.

[bebopeva88]

In no particular order:

Writers
Ed Brubaker
PAD
Jason Aaron
JMS
Bendis

Waid, Kelly, Fraction, and Ellis have all been on the list quasi-recently, but either just missed my current top 5, or have slipped a bit. Diggle and Hickman are on the verge of making the list as well.

Artists
Frank Cho
Steve McNiven
Olivier Coipel
John Cassaday
Jae Lee

Yu, Cheung, Dodson, McGuinness, Bachalo, Art Adams, and some others are very close to making the list, and have all been top 5 for me at varying points. Charest would be on the list if he did anything other than covers right now (aside from his 4 Ultimates Saga pages from awhile ago).

[IamBATFAN]

Is this a personal top 5 or are you asking who are Marvels top 5 go to guys?
'cause if its the latter then just look up who have done the bulk of the work in their big summer events

Artists:
- Yu
- McNiven
- Finch
- Coipel
- Hitch*

*Has yet to do a company wide x-over but is one of their top guys.
And after seeing a few covers pop up it looks like Adam Kubert is back at Marvel so expect him to be in a high profile book/series.

as far as writers
-Millar
-JMS
-Bendis
-Loeb
