Abnett or Waid, at this point.
>>84446866
Ewing I think is the most consistently good right now.
Wilson 'cause Ms. Marvel is still good.
Waid/Samnee: Black Widow is dope, but not (yet) as good as DD.
Charles Soule: Was worried about his DD run but the last issue that took place in a casino was dope.
Lemire: Moon Knight is probably the best thing at Marvel right now.
King: Love his try at a Pluto-esque story with Vision.
Aaron: I like his writing but he hasn't fully convinved me with the two Marvel titles he's writing right now.
Latour: If he could make Spider-Gwen more fun and less introspective/depressing, it'd be all over it.
>>84446866
Nice creative wasteland, OP.
>>84446962
Terrible taste.
Ewing, Duggan and Spencer.
I'd give it to (in no particular order):
Spencer - say what you will about his Cap, I'm liking it and Superior Foes was gold
Ewing - CoC, New Avengers, and Ultimates are all solid
Lemire - I think he does better with creator-owned content but his Moon Knight is good, though that could be the art holding it up
Thompson - I put this guy on solely because of the Spidey book, I hear he's made Silk likable and his Venom's not bad from what I hear either
>>84446963
>>84446982
Yes, yes. My tastes suck. Stop being predictable assholes and just post what you like reading at the moment.
>>84446963
Sorry, tagged you in my last post without meaning to.
Illuminati was my last chance with Marvel, they have nothing I'm interested in reading right now.
>>84447026
I would post Miracleman, but Marvel stopped publishing it. So... nothing.
Jeff Lemire all the way. He's doing his best with what they are letting him do with X-Men and New Hawkguy is pretty good. I don't know about Moon Kight tho
>>84447085
There's no X-men titles out after Death of X.
>>84446866
King>Ewing>Abnett>Conway>Duggan>Robinson>Spencer>Wilson>Thompson>everyone else>Slott>Bendis
>>84446866
Your list, by order
Tom King
Al Ewing
Dan Abnett
Nick Spencer
Jef Lemire
Willow Willson
Gerry Duggan
David Walker
Dan Slott
James Robinson
Robbie Thompson
Charles Soule
Mark Waid
Jason Aaron
Brian Michael Bendis
Tom King doesn't write for Marvel anymore though, does he?
>>84447098
Not sure if bait or not and im spooked. Are they gonna pull another Fantastic Four? Its ironic how they're original best seller and their eventual star franchise are now the ones they aren't promoting.
>>84447139
I thought he was doing Vision for Marvel and Omega men for DC.
>>84447183
Vision's done after issue 12 and King's already signed a DC exclusive.
>>84447169
Even if there's no more X-men books there's at least some remaining mutants.
Cyclops is on Champions
Storm is on Black Panther
Rogue and Cable are on Uncanny Avenger
Sunspot and Cannonball are on USAvengers
Is that it?
>>84447139
doesn't matter. I can just re-read vision at any point in time to get back the time of my life that I lost reading anything else from marvel
Abnett is DC exclusive with Aquaman I think.
I liked the thematic consistency of his Herc book, even if it took the character in a new direction.
I'm on board with Spencer.
>>84447183
Vision's over (at least King's part of it).
So is Omega Men (he was also writing Grayson)
He's writing Batman now.
>>84447169
The announced new comics for the new Marvel Now were leaked a while ago, there's no X-men titles (solos or group). If they still exist after Death of X, they'll probably just be one or two in another team comic.
>>84447205
>Cyclops is on Champions
Kidclops isn't our Sadclops we love though. But considering what we're left with its pretty decent. I love me some CannonBall and Sunspot.
Gambit is in UnAvengers from time to time., but I don't know how long thats gonna be a thing
>>84447264
Wait, just so I don't go around saying stupid fucking shit. Uncanny, 92, extraordinary X-Men and anything else I forgot, are over? fuck. That feels so weird. Remember when there was like 12 X-Books in the Marvel Lineup? What about the 2 Wolverine books?
Duggan and Ewing are the best ones.
I also like Bunn's Uncanny X-Men.
>>84446941
This. Ewing is great.
>>84447301
All I know is that in the announced comics that they'll be selling after SDCC, there's no X-stuff.
Death of X is apparently supposed to have cyclops coming back to prove how bad mutants are.
>>84447377
=( Fuck. Im not a Cykefag, but I never disliked him. "Mutant Hitler" What a Joke.
>>84446941
Ewing is one of the only writers who I believe could write a GOOD event comic.
>>84447104
King and Abnett are just finishing up their solo series, they don't count
>>84446941
All glory to the Ewing!
>>84446866
No Warren Ellis on Marvel NowNow?
His last works for Marvel were all great
>>84446866
Even the "good" ones are shit
Lemire is boring
Ewing has no flair
Duggan is underutilized
>>84448055
>Ewing has no flair
what does that even mean
>>84448055
I'd say Ewing is nothing BUT flair. Everything he writes is a slog to get to the next OUTRAGEOUS bit of wackiness that get posted on Reddit. Look, it's Godzilla, but he says U S A!
>>84448055
>Ewing
>Shit
Were you born with shit taste or is it like an infection?
>>84448085
so did you just not read Loki or
>>84446866
who is the cute brown chick?
>>84448116
Sana Amanat, I think
>>84447169
Its actually making much sense, the entire reason they arent pushing them is because those were there big names and they sold the film rights to other companies to survive bankruptcy.
Avengers is an a list franchise made from leftover scarps
And the brillaince is Marvel successfully made it about the brand not the characters (akin to Disney) so now they can put out literally anything and have it sell.
>>84448110
I'll readily admit that I'm going off only from AIMvengers and Contest of Champions, but will give Loki a shot, then.
>>84447085
Moon Knight is awesome but that's mostly because of Smallwood, who is doing way more with the book than he did under Wood.
Funny how for most of his publishing history Moon Knight has been a design and art centric book as opposed to writer propelled. Sienkiewicz, Platt, Texiera, Finch, Opena, Shalvey...
>>84447205
>Storm is on Black Panther
God fucking damn it, really?
>>84448323
Black Panther is supposedly now going to be the Blackvengers
>>84448085
His best stuff is Agent of Asgard and Ultimates, none of which have the wacky New Avengers style writing.
>>84448411
it shows up a little in AoA during AXIS and towards the end
>>84446866
Lemire is the best writer they have, though he's not doing particularly well aside from Moon Knight.
Abnett I guess.
There's not much to appreciate here at the moment...
>>84446866
They still have Ellis, so he's without doubt the best one.
>>84448570
what's he doing in Now?
>>84446940
>Abnett
AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA
Oh lord... no. Never.
>>84448626
No clue, unless he's continuing Karnak.
What about Joe Kelly, OP?
>>84448654
Explain yourself.
>>84448692
Abnett has been writing Hercules as an unreliable fuckup alcoholic
>>84448692
Abnett is trash and his Herc book deserved to crater because he was obsessed with making Herc a repentant alcoholic who had never done anything right.
Frankly, I'm just waiting now for the trainwreck to hit Aquaman station.
>>84448692
>>84448745
Sounds like a bad book.
I would still consider Abnett one of the better writes on that list though. After Waid, Aaron, Robinson and Lemire.
>>84448862
Waid and Robinson are well past their prime
>>84448654
The whole point of that scene is that it isn't actually Tony.
>>84448893
I agree.
I was judging them based off of the total quality of their work. Robinson hasn't produced anything worthwhile since the 90s iirc.
Baed off of the current books nobody has anything worthwhile.
Aside from Moon Knight and Karnak Marvel have no non-shit books.
>>84448940
Amadeus Cho calls him a useless fuckup in a slightly nicer way in the issue before
>>84448954
They have plenty of non-shit books. Butters/Gage Captain Marvel has had a good run so far. Spencer is doing well on Captain America with Best Dad Red Skull, Robbie Thompson's work on Silk has been absolutely excellent.
I mean personally I like Waid's Black Widow as well so what do I know.
>>84448745
>>84448769
You guys sure were triggered. It was definitely a different take on the character but it dovetailed nicely with the books theme of old ways versus new. I was looking forward to the redemption of Gilgamesh and of course, eventually Herc himself. Let's see if Waid does anything with the plot thread.
>>84448940
Literally She-Hulk and Amadeus Cho admit that everyone avoided calling Herc to help with the gigantic cosmic threat heading towards New York because they think of him as a fuck-up.
That isn't Stark or the Villain talking to Herc. That's the author. That's how he sees the character. It's been beaten into us for 7 fucking issues now.
>>84449055
This simply isn't true though.
These are shit books.
I understand that it's easy find gemstones when you'll gobble up anything, but christs man, have some dignity.
>>84449070
>You guys sure were triggered.
It was just shitty writing, mate. If Bendis were the one to write it you'd have his head on a pike for shit characterization.
>>84449093
After he lost his powers the next book went fucking nowhere. I'm sure that contributed to Abnett's impression.
But, yeah, I think the book was Abnett being didactic and maybe talking about himself in a market/social culture that has moved on. Idk, maybe it's explicitly about Abnett's own alcoholism?
>>84449146
Well with airtight, unassailable logic, how can I possibly hope to argue? You're right.
>>84449210
Your standards just seem so absurdly low.
What are your favourite titles of all time?
>>84449229
I already admitted you're right, anon.
>>84449247
That was just a snarky reply though.
I'm genuinely curious what you consider Marvel's finest. If stuff like Silk is "absolutely excellent".
>>84449277
Silk is pretty decent, to be fair
People rag on it because they still think of her as a Slott cocksleeve
I prefer Lemire over the other writers at Marvel.
His work is way more interesting that regular mediocre SJW capeshit.
>>84449315
Lemire's really good, but I think his Marvel stuff was been OK and nothing more.
I think he would do better if he had his own created character or something.
>>84449277
But anon, I'm being 100% genuine. Can't you tell? I mean your arguments were just so compelling, they made me see the error of my ways. I know now that I have shit taste, and that any story I previously enjoyed was also shit. I can only hope to sit at the feet of the master and perhaps pray some of your incredible taste rubs off on me.
>>84449409
Sorry, I didn't mean to trigger you.
>>84449443
That's very magnanimous of you, anon. I know you're just trying to do your best to educate all of us. You're not the hero we deserve, but the one we need. A silent guardian. A watchful protector. A dark knight.
Charles Soule's Daredevil is actually really damn good.
>>84449521
Nothing Soule does is good.
Wilson is basically the only one who makes Ms. Marvel likable..
>>84449650
I didn't know Wilson was on A-Force. I enjoy Ms. Marvel and some of Ewing's stuff, would I enjoy that book as well?
>>84446866
Wilson isn't writing A Force anymore
Anyway
>Wilson
>Ewing
>Lemire
>Abnett
are good overall, the biggest hiccups being Lemire's EXM and the fact that Abnett is DC exclusive now
>Robinson
>Walker
>Thompson
are okay at best, going by that list
Everybody is who cares to shit
>>84446940
Abnett is DC exclusive now.
>>84446962
Shit taste desu.
