Best writer at DC.

Can't say both.

Pick one. 313

Johns

This isn't even a hard choice either.

Johns

Johns.

Johns

It depends.

If you're searching for a very good and entertaining story, Geoff Johns's work is the one you should read. His work on JSA, Flash and many other prove that.

On the other hand, if you want a more complex story, with subtext and most of the times even philosophical aspects, Grant Morrison shouldn't dissapoint you.

I like both

johns,dont like morrissons ego as well

I pick the 4th option, which I think is from your evil twin.

I'll give my answer after Final Crisis.

If Darkseid gets a bunch of high feats, Morrison has your vote I'm guessing.

Nope, don't read that Batman. However Morrison was good on Authority. I only like Johns because of the big events.....but I am only bugging you about being disqualified.

In case you didn't notice, there is a pool, and what I shown was from it.

Oh ok...

Johns.

edit

Is this only their work with DC? Or both of them as writers in general?

Johns has done more, and probably better, DC-specific work. Take their entire careers and I might lean toward Morrison.

I simply happen to enjoy the types of stories Morrison creates.

That's my general feeling. Morrison might be so brilliant on certain titles, reaching great heights for groundbreaking storytelling. Johns might never be that experimental, but he does solid work on a great variety of titles; sort of like Peter David over at Marvel. Morrison's style can turn you off sometimes, just like Brian Bendis.

Johns is a competent, creative, original, and fun writer. I love the hell out of most of his books, and he ALWAYS turns in a good issue.

Morrison, on the other hand, wrote The Invisibles (best comic series, ever), Animal Man (second best), the Doom Patrol (third best), Arkaham Asylum, Seaguy, Vimanarama, Kid Eternity....

And while I'm a little disappointed with his current run on Batman (with the exception of the PHENEMONAL club of heroes arc), Morrison is consistently in the top three writers in the entire comics field.

I'm a huge Morrison fan.

If you wait till after Final Crisis, it's only fair to wait till after Blackest Night.

If you wait till after Blackest Night, it's only fair to wait till after Morrison's next project.

If you wait till after...


Get the point? Grow a pair and have an opinion.

hmm Fair point. Morrison. Seven Soldiers blew my mind when I read it. And I'm just getting into Animal Man. And his JLA run was monstrous in it's scale. srug

DCU #0 was good.

I think this duo will deliver the goods in the end.

Keep it going.

I acknowledge Morrison is the better writer and has done more for the medium than any current "popular writer", so I voted for him but Johns would be my personal favorite writer at the moment. Flash, JSA, GL, he just writes fun superhero books that are exactly what I picture as "the perfect idea" at the time. Though I don't know how All Star Superman could be any better either.

I'd like to say tough decision...but it wasn't.

Clearly Final Crisis was Johns' baby. Morrison's an awesome writer, but isn't as entrenched with DC as Johns. But I love that between the two of them they're producing a crapload of the FC tie-ins.

Grant Morrison.

Johns only cuz my comic guy knows him....like has his number in his cell knows him....though he usually swears him to secrecy he gives him the low down on storylines months in advance so he knows how to order.....no joke, scouts honor

Grant Morisson by a mile !!!!!!!!!

His ideas are just that much cooler !

Rubbish .... Morisson has wanted to write this since his WW3 arc. He was going to do something simillar instead of Identity Crisis which involved Hyper Time, but Metzler got the green light.

This poll started with Johns in the lead. Now Morrison is coming back.

ATM? johns, body of work in total? morrison, so yeah, morrison...

On the whole Morissons stuff is just ... better

All star Superman > Geoff Johns Superman
J.L.A. > J.S.A.
New X-men > Teen Titans
Animal Man + Morissons Flash > The Flash
Marvel Boy = Green Lantern
Doom Patrol > Geoff Johns Avengers
Aztec < Boostergold
Invisbles > Vision mini
The Filth
Kid Eternity
Fantastic Four (mini)

IMO the only person who writes better comics than Morison is Warren Ellis.

Marvel Boy = Green Lantern?

HAVE AT THEE!!!

Morrison turned Plastic Man into a respectable member of the JLA and made Aquaman almost seem dangerous...

That alone should be rewarded.

This is just my observation. But I think Johns just doesn't connect much with Superman like other writers. I took notice of that during the Sinestro War when the battle shifted to Earth. Superman should have been at the frontlines but was pretty much left for certain panels.

I give props to Morrison for keeping Batman within his detective skills. But Paul Dini pen is mightier at TEC...so yeah...

i thought johns' action run recently (that was concluded in the annual) was very well written... while i agree kal should be at the forefront, it was a gl book, and i think johns is a smart enough man to know that if superman had been a big player in the resolution of the sin corps arc, gl fans wouldnt have been happy...

Morrison.

He's done major work with some characters I seriously like... and I like his stories more. Perhaps for sub genre more than anything else, but, eh..

i love gta 4... i actually only started catching up on 3 weeks of comics on wednesday because of it...

Hehehe....

It took Morrison 3 issues of FC to make the story interesting.

It took Johns 1 issue of Legion to make the story interesting.

You get quality over quantitiy.

Grant's story was interesting with issue 1 and so far, imo, the main-series are better than the tie-ins.

these are my favorite two writers atm, but you know, it took me a few minutes to compare their works, I typically like the creativity of Johns more...

Geoff brought back Hal.

Morrison introduced Damien

Hard to say.

They've both suffered so greatly from hubris in recent years.

They've both suffered so greatly from hubris in recent years. When has Geoff Johns suffered from arrogance?? Grant Morrisson I can understand. but GJ where is that statement coming from?

Both are awesome. However, Morrison's Batman's starting to annoy me. He appears to "get" the character about as well as Joel Schumacher. OK, so he wrote Arkham Asylum, but, to be honest, I'd rather have a slightly less crazy Batman, and certainly a complete lack of what I shall describe, accurately or not, as "Batman 4 Joker" shit.
My tangent aside, Johns wins for JSA and Green Lantern. Morrison loses because of Batman.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why can't it be Morrison leaving Batman? It's just not fair!

I am getting tired of this threads.....There is a writers thread for a reason.....

ima stab him if he keeps it up...

Didn't read that much of either. I think Morrisson's Arkham Asylum and Filth are amazing works though and I haven't read anything by Johns close to that. But, again, I didn't read very much of either.

Alan Moore takes 'em both.

Kirby smashes Moore.

Moore LOVED Jack Kirby- wrote entire works dedicated to him. Check out "1969" from ABC or the last couple issues of "Supreme."

I seem to remember putting the kibosh on writer vs. threads a while back. This must have slipped through the cracks.

And yes, I closed a global mod thread. Bite me, WD.
