Line 29:
* [[Frank Miller]] really got the [[Darker and Edgier]] [[Nineties Anti-Hero|Nineties Anti Heroes]] off the ground, and I love him for it. I'm basing several characters off of his interpretation of [[Batman]] alone, and a villain off of his Joker. I'd just like to give him a huge [[Shout-Out]] here, because he's really magnificent at what he does.
* [[Neil Gaiman]]. [[The Sandman]]. Need I say more?
* [[Grant Morrison]] may be... [[Broken Base|controversial]]... when it comes to his [[X-Men]] work, but I thought his run on [[Justice League (animation)|JLA]] was nothing short of spectacular. Fascinating plots that delved into the psyches of iconic characters, and deepened them while keeping them recognizable. I still look at that run as the best way to handle a team composed of characters that, in any other writer's hands, would quickly devolve into a [[Thirty-Sue Pileup]].
** His run on [[Animal Man]] is nothing short of epic. Buddy and his family feel like real people, the Fourthwall gets demolished, and the last issue, {{spoiler|where [[Comicook/Animal Man|Animal Man]] actually meets [[Grant Morrison]]}} is perhaps the greatest single issue of any comic ever published.
* You can hand [[Peter David]] [[X Factor|any team of characters at all]], from the [[The Scrappy|scrappiest]] to the [[Ensemble Darkhorse|most underappreciated]], and he will come up with a way to make them work. He's just that versatile.
* [[Warren Ellis]] is one of the [[Crowning Moment of Funny|funniest]] and most [[Crazy Awesome|imaginative]] writers today. His tried and tested approach to writing involves getting his hands on an already popular concept, [[Refuge in Audacity|injecting it in]] [[Eye Scream|the retinas]] with bizarre technologies, hilarious dialogue, surreal settings and then [[Up to Eleven|turning the whole thing up to 11]] makes him a writer to definitely look out for. Case in point: [[Transmetropolitan]], [[Nextwave]] and the [[Justice League (animation)|JLU]] episode "Dark Heart."
* Jillian Tamaki, who wrote Skim, a small graphic novel about a teenage girl, is my idol. She deserves to be as well known as any of the above writers (not that they aren't also completely awesome).
