Who is the best writer of our era?

[Personamanx]

As in writer who has written for the company in let's say the last Five years? Kieron Gillen. Not that there isn't some solid competition from: Simon Spurrier, Jeff Lemire, Steve "Chip Zdarsky" Murray, and Jonathan Hickman. Not just including work they've done for Marvel of course, but they've all scripted their fair share of stellar comics for Disney among other companies.

The best writers at Marvel are currently Ewing, Slott, Zdarsky, Zub, Pak, Gage... the writers that know how to do the needed research to tell their story and make it work, as well as make it a fun read.

Hickman.
I've never read a single bad thing from him and I've been reading since his indie hit Nightly News before the Marvel work. I absolutely adore that man's writing (and art. I wish he'd do art again.)

Going with last Five years, I'm going with Hickman as #1. Warren Ellis and Al Ewing fighting for second. Mark Waid and Gerry Duggan are fighting for forth (again, assuming we're strictly talking work in the last 5 years. I haven't loved Waid's recent work and Gerry Duggan has a lot of momentum). If we're taking the total work of everyone who is still working at marvel into account, I wouldn't be able to make a list. That's complicated

Edit: Had to replaces Cates with Duggan.

I think you guys are underestimating Kelly Thompson.

I agree about Ewing, Cates and Hickman, but I think Kelly is doing pretty great too.

Tini Howard is also one to keep an eye on imo.

[Snoop Dogg]

It's time to talk about James Asmus.

[Knightmare]

Alan Moore, Alan Davis and Paul Cornell

Oh, yeah, forgot about her. Good choice.

I want to say Heinburg so bad because I stan for YA but I know in my soul it's not true... Gotta go Ewing.

I think when we look back on comics of the 2010s in 30 years, people will fully appreciate how great Chip Zdarsky is. He hasn't written a ton yet, but every single run he's had has been great. And he does a pretty good job knowing when to end things, which means he'll have a lot of great complete runs under his belt.

I forgot about Kelly Thompson. I'm not completely digging her Deadpool, but I've really liked everything else I've read by her.

Tini Howard though... I find her stories hard to follow sometimes. Like she's leaving stuff out or trying to put too much in. I want to like her stuff, but I'm having a hard time.

[Batman Begins 2005]

Chip Zdarsky, Jason Aaron and Nick Spencer.

Finale from Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #310, instant classic. Love that issue.

Current? Probably Ewing.

Recent? Kieron Gillen.
