POLL: END of ASM EXTRAVAGANZA!: Who's your top eleven writers?

[Darman456]

1) Stan Lee
2) Brian Michael Bendis
3) JMS
4) Gerry Conway
5) Peter David
6) Roger Stern
7) JM DeMatteis
8) Dan Slott
9) Paul Jenkins
10) Tom DeFalco
11) Bill Mantlo

I would've put Bendis first, if not for the fact he killed off my favorite character and replaced with a (IMHO) rather lame character. So, yeah, Stan Lee still takes the top spot.

Curation is Sporadic because I only read Scarlet Spider now. But I'm dedicated.

I'd be interested to see this re-attempted, but make posters unable to vote for the "big names" and have them nominate a story or two by each of their top ten writers. Good way to find some underrated material.

Eh, that's really a different topic altogether, and personally, not one I'm that interested in. The "big name" writers are big name for a reason. I mean, I basically enjoyed every story except for 1 up until Lifetheft, so it's to that the smaller names can't be good, it's just that it's kinda like ranking the AAA Baseball teams. Why rankt he best of the rest?

Nice to see Dematteis still getting that sort of respect.

[Meehaul]

Lee, Stern and David for me. I don't rate Slott yet as his run isn't done yet.

Yeah, for my Top 5, I probably go with those 3 and Slott and JM DeMatteis. The order sometimes moves a bit after Lee and Stern though.
