Question Ellis's run on X-Men Vs Morrison's

Warren Ellis or Grant Morrison. Which run on X-Men do you prefer and why?

So we are talking New X-Men vs Astonishing X-Men? Morrison wins that battle, but if we are allowed to sub in Ellis run on Generation X or X-Force or even Wolverine in place of that abysmal Astonishing run, he wins.

I should note that I don't think Morrision's run on New X-Men was particularly good, and I like it less and less every subsequent time I re-read it, but Ellis' Astonishing run was a mess.

I love Fantomex! But I think Morrison is the Tarantino of the comic world... as in completely over rated with almost nothing of note on his resume. cool

Animal Man, All-Star Superman, Doom Patrol, and Invisibles are all great, IMO, but he's an acquired taste.

And Tarantino is an awesome director. Yeah, he steals from other movies, but he makes it his own. Inglorious Bastards is his masterpiece, IMO.

The exceptions to the rule. Even Tarantino has Reservoir Dogs floating above the crap that is the rest of his movies.

Kill Bill is a ****ing joke. Tarantino says he is making homages but all he does is rip off other movies and produce parodies of the genres he claims to love.

Yep, Morrison's New > Ellis' Astonishing. Not saying the latter sucked, actually I'm one of the few that wasn't drolling over Whedon's work, so I welcomed the change.

And his JLA's not bad either (also his most straitforward superhero work).

Been said already, but Morrison's New Xmen is superior to Ellis's Astonishing Xmen.

Morrison. it's arguably the most relatable i've ever seen some of the characters, and (some) were brilliantly written.

Ellis was very up and down I thought, and didn't really live up to the hype. He's capable of better though.

Forgot about that. I also liked Marvel Boy and his mini on Fantastic Four.

Morrisons run hands down. It was superb. The only saving grace on Ellis's run was Kaare Andrews.
