Grant Morrison.

I am totally biased toward Grant Morrison because I love the books he is writing for right now.  I had to ask myself if I would love the books anyway if he wasn't writing them.  I would have to say yes I would.  I can't say that for Captain America or Daredevil.  Ed Brubaker made me like those characters through his writing/interpretation of them.  Ed gets my vote.

Grant Morrison hands down, a few year ago I would have gone with Ed Brubaker, but his Darevil went off track & lost me, Criminal is no fun to read & there's nothing special or original about it, & uncanny is abyssmal, won't this story arc ever end?

Grant Morrison's a horrible writer who writes people heavily out of character... and he gets away with it because "Ho, ho! He's the eccentric, drug-addled modern day comic visionary!" He writes Batman like a tea-swilling Brit, and his writing style overshadows the story on a regular basis, and often becomes a serious distraction.

Brubaker is far superior, though his Uncanny is nigh-unreadable. Even so, his Cap has improved greatly more recently, and his Daredevil has been solid from word go.

Morrison no contest

In blackest day, in brightest night,
Beware your fears made into light
Let those who try to stop what's right,
Burn like his power... Sinestro's might!

Considering Daredevil and Captain America are both nominated for Best Ongoing Series and Criminal is nominated for Best New Series, if Brubaker doesn't win, something doesn't compute.

Whenever I read anything by Morrison, my reaction is invariably "Wow, so LSD and a junior high-level understanding of physics is all it takes to be a god among comics."

Morrison, Brubaker and Burden all make me quite happy. It's been a good year for writing.

Corwin doesn't like signatures. But Corwin does love to dance.
