1. Legion of Superheroes- A legendary run and one of the best of all time.
2. JLI- Another great run and set the template for comedy in mainstream titles.
3. Lobo- The definitive take on The Czarnian!
I've read Ambush Bug and that was decent but I can't think of anything besides the aforementioned titles.

It's also the quantity, particularly with Preacher etc (and Carey with Lucifer and the Unwritten).
All Star Superman is great. It was also what, five issues? Preacher doesn't let up for 75 issues. Lucifer also had 75 issues. So just counting it all as one work, when you're comparing essentially one shots and individual storylines to entire characters......
For this reason, I also nominate Kirkman.

Ennis has Preacher which was great though the series doesn't come close to anything Morrison has done. The scope of the series is very small to even Morrison's underappreciated works.
Lucifer takes us on a great ride but that is a SINGLE work.
I like Invincible and The Walking Dead that being said I can't see where Kirkman has risen to Morrison's level of mastery. Kirkman to me is more akin to Waid and David, great storytellers who operate in a certain vein.

Shut up puppy. Hitman shits all over Preacher in everything from action, humor, pathos and most importantly heart.The zombie night at Gotham aquarium alone is better than anything in Preacher.
Just look at that.
You've never been quite right since I BANNED YOU from The House Of El.
Action- No, we start with a failed Man in Texas and from there we go from secret societies to the Metaphysical in the same series. And it all works.
Advantage- PREACHER
Humor- You can't be serious. Between Cassidy and Herr Starr there is enough humor to make a series on that alone. The Saint Of Killers has his moments as well.
Advantage- PREACHER
Pathos- Saint Of Killer's Origin. Arseface's origin. Jesse's story. Tulip's arc. This barely deserves a response.
Advantage- PREACHER
Heart- I've basically ripped YOUR heart out of your chest with this post. Hitman is good, Preacher is CLASSIC!
Advantage- PREACHER
I'm starting to even doubt whether you've even read Preacher!

Loved how he raped, humiliated and trolled that loser called Lobo.
