What Writer Would You Like To See on Your Favorite Book?

Alphona is a top 5 artist IMO. His improvement during the two volumes of Runaways was pretty immense.

The art was already top notch.Jim Cheung's art is excellent!

Yeah some of Cheug's art is definetly some of the best around, I agree with you there.. but sometimes it doesn't look too great.

I still think Alphona is better though 😬

Sure he's better,I just thought it was as good as it gets where the art was concerned.

But I guess you do have a point, I don't see any other artist being as definitive and important to YA as Cheung, like how Alphona is to Runaways ('cause well.. Ryan's kinda meh).

All this YA talk is making me.....herbcry

Who are the other 4? Liefeld?13

My 5 favorite artists (off the top of my head) are probably Alphona, Adam Hughes, Terry Dodson, Frank Cho, and Renato Guedes. I could throw in Ivan Reis, Amanda Conner and Dale Eaglesham too. Phil Jimenez is elite but only when he's on top of his game (i.e. Infinite Crisis #1). Perez will always be classic.

Perez is classic, no doubt.

I like Michael Turner's art, but for covers and posters as his storytelling is a bit stiff.

I'd like to see Oeming take a crack at Hawkman. Benes on art chores.

Jim Lee and Alex Ross are superb. I think Terry Dodson and Mark Bagley are amazing as well ✅

Mark Bagley is classic in my book. Same with Alex Ross. I had a copy of Marvels as a kid and didn't get the painted thing then, but I love it now. Lee is freakin amazing, but a lil slow.

Lee would be on my list if he could do more than one comic a year. Production counts.

I only threw out Top 5 as a way to show how good I think Alphona is. That is to say, I couldn't name many more who are better.

You don't like Nicola Scott or Etha Van Schiver

Van Sciver is the man at drawing different forms of energy which is why he's the best artist to work on GL. Rebirth wouldn't have been the same without him.

He does some stuff I don't like though, particularly human faces and bodies.

cassaday's my favorite face man. a little cartoony, but very effective.

i've been really enjoying roberto de la torres' work on iron man. with a little improvement he can join whedon on my dream hellblazer, though i have no idea how torres would do magic/grit.

am i crazy for thinking that whedon on hellblazer could be totally amazing? i can see how it would flop, but maybe...juuuuust maybe.

Peter David Writing World War Hulk instead of Whoever is writing it currently 🙂

I would love to see Peter Davids art and writing on the JSA title. He would make them all look badass. He would make my favorite character, Wildcat, look great.

I would love to see Grant Morrisson on the Authority..

oh wait, I just want the Authority to start coming out again.
