Best Image Comics writer?

[Double L]

Who do you think is the best Image Comics writer?

[Valmore]

Scott Kurtz.

[Expletive Deleted]

Currently? I really like what Kirkman is doing with INVINCIBLE and WALKING DEAD.

All time? Alan Moore on WILDC.A.T.S. and SUPREME while they were still Image titles. I've heard great things about 1963, too, but I've never read it.

[Grant]

Right now I say Kirkman. Walking Dead and Invincible are two of the best comics out there.

[Apathy Boy]

B. Clay Moore, hands down.

HAWAIIAN DICK, THE EXPATRIATE, BATTLE HYMN. That's a pretty damn awesome line of books.

Of course, Moore loses major points because all of his books are incredibly, horribly late. (In fact, the delays on BATTLE HYMN have been so frickin' annoying that I've decided not to bother picking up the rest of the series. But the first issue was damn good nonetheless.)

[Greg T]

JM DeMatteis.

[monkeyjunkie]

Kirkman for sure, the man is brilliant

[Dave Cote]

Troy Hickman (Common Grounds), Robert Kirkman,The Luna Brothers,Ron Marz and raven Gregory.

[Doug W]

Paul Grist creator of Jack Staff, the Kane TPBs and Burglar Bill.

[Bard]

Hmm, my votes go to Ron Marz and Frank Cho (whenever he gets his arse back from Red Sonja)

[HartyPotter]

Well, I don't know if he's the best, but the only Image title I read is Invincible, so I'd say Robert Kirkman.

[Ravengregory]

Erik Larsen without a doubt.

[Gavin Higginbotham, BotF]

Erik Larsen.

Honourable mentions go to Jay Faebar (sp?), Joe Casey and Robert Kirkman.

[Iron-boy]

Robet kirkman bchess

[Erik Larsen]

Erik Larsen without a doubt.

Flatterer!

Out of what I read:


Joe Casey. Not jsut for Godland, but for all his awesome work.

2nd
Matt Fraction. He's just great for a 'new guy'. Can't wait to see him grow.

Honorable mention: Erik Larsen. I used to read Dragon back n the 90's. Then I quit comics for a while. The other week I found "the Fly" (#126?) in a 1/2 price bin (sorry Erik) and grabbed it.

What I found was an artist/writer really trying to do something interesting and new. Even if it didn't work out perfectly, he was willing to do it. This spirit alone has made Dragon worth checking out again, after all these years. I never expected this from The Savage Dragon, but there it was. Kudos Erik! Keep experimenting!

Troy Hickman (Common Grounds), Robert Kirkman,The Luna Brothers,Ron Marz and raven Gregory.

Aww, bless your heart. Thanks much, Dave.

(But man, if you have to point out what I'm known for...I need to get some more work under my belt...hey, Erik...) ;)

[Erik Larsen]

Aww, bless your heart. Thanks much, Dave.

What do you got?

[pennywisdom]

Currently? Ellis, with Fraction being very close.

[Forefinger]

I'm going with Ellis, and then Larsen. (I only read two Image books....)

[Kaos]

kirkman...standard

[devinost]

Jim Valentino hands down. Most creative stories in the business

[The Adventurer]

Paul Grist
Robert Kirkman
Jay Faerber
Erik Larsen
Scott Kurtz
B. Clay Moore
Matt Faction

You can't just pick one, these guys all rule.
