    DC Comics: Geoff Johns

    Marvel Comics: Mark Waid (even though he wrote JLA: Year One a while back)

    @raw_material: I've heard good things about Geoff Johns (Aquaman and Green Lantern). I'm loving Waid's Indestructible Hulk. Jeff Parker wrote the most recent annual though I believe.

    Probably Mike Carey. His Suicide Risk series is probably my favourite title on the market.

    Yea, believe or not, Geoff is a miracle worker and one of the best story tellers today. He gave the rebirth of two characters I idolize the most which are Aquaman and Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern. Although these are the two characters he's been noticably attracting new comic readers to, he's also making a very impressive run with the Justice League and Justice League of America. Geoff Johns has my vote for favorite writer any day of the week for sure.

    I don't really have a favorite writer, but from Marvel, Ed Brubaker's Captain America run.

    From Marvel?

    Yost, Brubaker, Bendis.

    Really like Matt Fraction and Jason Aaron's work recently too.

    From Marvel it would probably be either Mark Waid for his current run on Daredevil or Christopher Yost for his work on Scarlet Spider.

    @veshark: All of 50 issues of Volume 5 and 600-628 of Volume 6 and Cap and Bucky.

    I like the earlier stuff a little bit more than the later, but it was all excellent.

    Is his like 15 issue run on Winter Soldier (or whatever the number) any good? I haven't read that.

    Agreed. Check out Hawkeye too. Its pretty fun.

    Nice. I'm just starting his last volume, which I believe is Volume 6 (the one with Steve McNiven).

    Agreed, his Winter Soldier and Death of Captain America mega-arcs are probably the peak of the run.

    Mm, haven't got around to reading it, but critical acclaim seems to be universal.
