Never read a story I didn't like by the man. If a writer is only allowed one character, I'd want him to get Superman.


Just dont ever let him near the X-men again, particularly the Beast.

You want the most famous writers on their most famous runs?

Simple minds.

Do people think Morrison has surpassed Gaiman yet?

They're difficult to compare, but I think Morrison has more or less equaled Moore, and Moore is definitely Gaiman's superior.

Look at the shitshow Gaiman put into works with Miracleman after Moore left...

you guys are cray cray, that mon-el arc story was amazing

new krypton was great too till the point at war of superman where he kill off all the kryptonians. I was hoping for tens of thousands kryptonians roaming the earth

I thought New Krypton was awful, and a real low point for Superman comics between IC and Flashpoint.

Yeah, that was pretty bad. Never met anyone who actually liked it.

Everything "Ultimates" after Mark Millar has been universally shite, so he should get the rights to that franchise. Im tempted to say that Hitch should get first dibs as well, that pairing was so good.

Nobody - not even Millar - wrote The Authority as well as Warren Ellis, but the Ellis/Quiteley team was better than Ellis /Hitch imho.

Hellboy is Mike Mignola. Any other artist just looks weird. Same with Madman and Mike Allred.

I, for one, would put Morrison solidly above Gaiman.

Don't get me wrong, Gaiman is fantastic and one of the all-time greats... But as far as I'm concerned, Morrison is simply the best. I legitimately cannot think of a series/arc he's ever written that I have not thoroughly enjoyed.

That said, if I *had* to give him just one character to write, it would be Superman(mostly because All-Star Superman was arguably the best Superman story ever written.) However, the man brings quality to ALL characters he handles... Even Santa Claus, lol.

I liked Neil Gaiman's book Good Omen.

I enjoyed Claremont's X-Men of the 90's. I looked forward to reading every issue back in the day.

Simonson's Thor

David's Hulk.

I liked the first Hulk movie when the screenwriters used panels like they did in the comic books.
