I wonder if should add John Byrne in the list for Wolverine, when he came onboard the characther started to change, it was when the added actual substance to him beyond the one-note edgelord that he was in the Claremont/Cockrum issues.

For Rachel:
Best: Weinberg, Claremont, Lobdell, Davis
Worst: Claremont, Lobdell, Bendis, Brubaker
For Storm:
Best: Claremont, Davis
Worst:Bendis, Brubaker
For Sage:
Best: Claremont
Worst: Claremont
For Iceman:
Best: Lobdell, Sina
Worst: Bendis
I forgot to include among the worst the team Guggenheim/Bunn in that inanity called Mojo Worldwide. Portraying Longshot as a trivial influencer capable of betraying his friends for the sake of 'likes' is an insult to the character, as well as a total incomprehension of him.
Dazzler
Best: Charlie Huston
Worst: Madeline Visaggio
Emma
Best: Joss Whedon, Mike Carey, Warren Ellis
Worst: Michael Bendis, Matt Fraction, and the writer who did the Emma Frost one shot
Yara Flor & Emma "Mama" Frost stan account
PSYLOCKE
Best: Claremont/Yost/Carey/Remender/Spurrier/Bunn (except for the whining)
Worst: Humphries/Claremont (Exiles, New Exiles, Excalibur crossover)
ROGUE:
Best - Kelly Thompson because she made me love Rogue again in the modern age. I've only ever liked her early 90's characterization and though I've read her stories since then, she seemed like a completely different person. Kelly not only brought my Rogue back to life, she actually made me like the modern Rogue, her Rogue, better.
Worst - Mike Carey because he completely turned her into a tramp. His Rogue is one of the worst cases of what I spoke about above regarding her being written as a completely different person.
So I have 2 favorite characters. Storm and Wolfsbane
Storm- Best writer, Chris Claremont. Worst would be Brian Wood
Wolfsbane- Best writer PAD. Worst, I don’t know? Yost maybe?....at times I did not like the way PAD wrote her.
Has there ever been a Writer that made you HATE a character that you didn’t hate before? Guggenheim made me hate Kitty. Brian Wood made me hate Rachel.
Favorite Characters: Wolfsbane, Storm, Psylcoke, Beast, Feral, Tempo, Nightcrawler, Quicksilver
Favorite Titles: X-Men Red, Legion of X, Marauders, Hellions
Not really, Yost/Kyle make me want to punch Cyclops for including Laura in the X-Force team without telling Logan, but he took care of that for me . Kitty in Gold is obnoxious but i always been neutral toward her.
Logan?, never hated it, he is my favorite, so i just feel sad when he was neutered after House of M (my thanks to Way, Loeb and Aaron for that and whoever was the mastermind that greenlit Schism). I guest that Emma Frost to Morrison, i never felt bad for any of the problems that she faced in the relationship, but is more apathy than actual hate.
Otherwise, i just found takes that i don't like, Milligan's Gambit and Rogue is especially bad, but his Mystique was even worse.
Makes sense though. A writer can do some of the best things with your favorite, but then turn around & do some of the worst. lol
For example, I LOVED Duggan's run on Deadpool. He was the perfect writer DP needed to recover from Daniel Way's mess. But I HATED the addition of Shiklah, and how stupid & pathetic the relationship made DP look.
Jason Aaron. I think he writes a good Sabretooth, and he had Sabretooth actually achieving some accomplishments. Like becoming the ruler of the Asian Underworld. But then he turned around & brought in "The Hottest & Deadliest Couple" deal with Mystique, which makes me list him as one of the better writers, but also one of the worst. Same Kyle Higgins' with Death of Wolverine. Overall they had a good voice for Creed, but to write him as Logan's obsessive ex who dresses other men as Wolverine ruined it! lol

I guest that the same can be said about Aaron's Wolverine, i enjoyed Get Mystique, the Spider-Man/Wolverine mini and "A mile to my mocassins" back up story, also props to Aaron for actually putting Logan in a relationship, short as it was, Melita Garner wasn't the most fascinating character, but it was good enough. The rest of his Wolverine stuff is really uneven, especially post-Schism.
