Who's your favorite writer?

Myself, only being into comics for a few years now, only know newer writers and their material. I'm a fan of Scott Snyder with American Vampire and also Jeff Lemire with Sweet Tooth and Animal Man. I also love Jason Aaron with his new Thor run and have recently began to read Archer and Armstrong and love what Fred Van Lente is doing... Who do you enjoy reading?

I really enjoy reading Griftor and Hawk and Dove. It really kind of sucks, that they got cancelled.

It's a toss up between Brian Wood and Brian K. Vaughan. I only read books written by people named Brian.....

@CuddlyPlane: I really cannot choose, there are so many fantastic writers! Hmm but i think if i had to choose one i'd pick Robert Kirkman. Very very hard decision.

Azzarello, Ellis, Ennis, Milligan and Wood make up my top 5. Have plenty of other favorite writers.

Too picky to pick a real favorite.

Evan Dahm is the most consistently great one I've read.

Ed Brubaker for his work on Captain America, Winter Soldier, Daredevil, The Marvels Project, Iron Fist, Criminal, and Fatale.

Kurt Busiek because of his Avengers run and Marvels.

Matt Fraction for his current work on Hawkeye and his past work on Iron Fist.

Do you mean specifically comic book writers? I'd have to say Morrison, Hickman or Brian K. Vaughn. I'd probably give the nod to Morrison.

Grant Morrison for me. I have a blast with almost every issue he writes, he's one of the most creative writers around, and his writing makes me think, something many comics lack. Close behind would be Robert Kirkman, he has this perfect balance of action, humor, and drama, as well as being a writer who can make books that are just plain fun.
