Brian Michael Bendis and David Finch (the artist who drew Avengers Disassembled and possibly the latest Moon Knight covers).
I just don't think these two creators' styles complement each other.
This isn't just a chance to gripe about Bendis's dialogue, either. I happen to enjoy some of his work. I also dig some of David Finch's art - especially the Moon Knight stuff I've seen, lately.
But the whining, damn-near static story progression that results from their collaborations is too much for me. David Finch's characters look pitiful and stiff as HELL and Bendis' words make them seem even MORE lost and torn... even when they not supposed to be.
Just my opinion. What's yours?
Name some creators you DON'T want to team-up and why.
EDIT: Thanks to TinMan for helping me fill in the blanks.

That would be David Finch.

Edit: you should check out the 11 page preview for Moon Knight #1 that Marvel just released, I think Huston and Finch are gonna make a killer team on this new Moony series.

His name is Olivier Coipel.
As for me, I don't really think a Frank Miller/Frank Quitely collaboration would go down to well."If you can't say anything good about someone, sit right here by me." - Alice Roosevelt Longworth, on manners

I don't know if Coipel did any of Disassembled, but I know Finch did, and he's also penciling the new Moon Knight, which is what West also sited. I just linked to the preview above. Originally Posted by Michael Pullmann

This scares me. I have loved the first two Ultimates series, but I don't know if I'll pick up the 3rd. Originally Posted by Dos

I think when Chuck Austen and Rob Liefeld team up to do a comic, that will bring about the end of the world.

Cathy Guisewite and Frank Cho
I don't think he can write a non-buxom babe. Or else we'd see Cathy get frantic about the size of her breasts.Last edited by Davideaux; 03-14-2006 at 09:25 AM.

I want Busiek and Immonen to team back up... they rocked
A team I never want to see is Hitch with a bad writer. I would hate hate hate to see him wasted on some promotional stunt with a crappy writer. Goes for Maleev too.

Yup, the first couple years of SHADE THE CHANGING MAN (the old Vertigo series). Great stuff. Originally Posted by Ryan Day

I don't think I've ever seen an uglier, more indecipherable book than that Ultimates/Ultimate X-Men crossover book Bachalo drew.My Cooking Blog!

Sadly, that's just the way I felt when that came out. I was SO disappointed when this story that I'd looked forward to so, appeared as a 2-dimensional, 4-color mess. Originally Posted by JeffreyWKramer

Chris Claremont and George Perez would be such an affront to the senses on every level, I might have an anuerysm.
Reggie Hudlin has such a poor grasp of characterization, and Michael turner has such a poor grasp of drawing humans and human emotion, I can only imagine the strange blank pod people that might ocur if they teamed up. It would be such an emotionless muddle of misdirected characterizations.... like watching heroin addicts performing Brecht.
Many of my worst fears have already been realized, visa vis writer/artist team-ups.... I mistrust comic writers who don't draw to begin with, so I'm a bad guage for this.
