      Cool. You can still list your top 5 best current writers.

    There are no good current writers.

    Tom Taylor is the worst current writer and probably the worst writer of all time. Then pick 4 more at random and you have the current 5 worst.

    I think the issue is that people don’t want to put in the work (minor as it is) of putting together a list.

    This would imply anyone on Cinemaphile actually reads comics.

    Worst (in descending order)
    Tom Taylor
    Tom King
    Jason Aaron
    Brian Michael Bendis
    Kelly Sue Deconnick
    Josie Campbell

    Best (and particular order)
    Pete Tomasi
    Jeff Parker
    Jeff Lemire
    Rory Mcconville

    I did 6 worst and 4 best cause I can’t think of a fifth best. I’m buying more than 4 but I wouldn’t say the writers are “the best” I just like the particular series.

    Honorable mention for the worst
    Mark russell
    Tini Howard
    Leah Williams
    Tim Sheridan
    Vita Ayala
    Dennis culver
    Ryan north
    Ram V
    Si Spurrier
    John Hickman
    Al Ewing
    Scott Snyder
    James Tynion
    Cullen Bunn
    Gail Simone
    Pretty much everyone who has ever so much as thought of let alone lived in Portland really.

      What’s the hot goss about Portland writers? I’ve heard it many times but never expanded upon. It is just because Portland is left-wing AF or is there a less boring reason why Portland writers are grouped together?

      >Brian Michael Bendis
      >current
      Has he even written anything ever since he left DC?

        What did happen to Bendis? I’m sure he has some entertainment industry job somewhere.

      >Jeff Parker

      Does he even still work in comics?

        He just did a Batman Santa Claus mini.

        >Who are your top 5 best and worst CURRENT comic writers?

        I don't even know which good writers are still in the business. Most have quit.
        I really like Joe Kelly and Adam Warren but I genuinely don't know if they do anything anymore.
        I guess Garth Ennis just wrote some 007 comic and Ennis is mostly good so him for sure. Warren Ellis was canceled but you can un-cancel him and hire him if you want I'm sure.
        Can't think of a fifth name.

        As for worst, I can't answer because I don't like to dwell on things I hate enough to put them in order. To me, once you're below a certain minimum quality level you get rejected and that's that. I don't care how bad you are, you're just all equally shit to me.

        Aren’t most of the writers people liked from the last twenty years doing non-comic work now?

        Either that or they're no longer as good.

        You don't read comics.
