    Default Favorite writer of the DoX era? Which have exceeded expectations? Disappointed?

    In a tactful and constructive write up. Which writers have exceeded expectations? Which have disappointed? What feedback would you give? The editors seem to let them do what they want; which is good for creative writing process. But some writers need some constructive feedback. What says you.

    Percy has been way better than expected. And he is great at juggling a team. Giving spotlight to each character. Characters that haven't gotten spotlight is ok because we know he is building something to their story. He has been the most consistent writer of this new era. He made Black Tom Cassidy intersting to me. And I hope he starts to give Sage some focus.

    Benjamin Percy, i read his Teen Titans and found it to be ok at best. His X-Force has been pretty good thought.

    Tini Howard has dissapointed me though. I heard good things about her and the premise of the book sounder cool. But her Excalibur has been mediocre.

    Hickman. Percy is not there yet and looking at Wolverine #2 preview I don't think he ever will be.

    I woud have said Percy until this week's X-Force, which I strongly disliked.

    Hickman is Hickman I guess.

    From a very poor premise, Duggan at least has me interested in Marauders

    Percy has been a revelation, I was pretty meh about X-Force when it was announced but he is doing a fantastic job. Biggest disappointment I guess would be Hickman. His grand plotting is great but the character interactions and dialogue has been awful for the most part.

    Hickman from issues 4-8 has been awesome.

    And his New Mutants was great.

    I only like BE Hills last issue.

    Tini Howard needs to work on pacing and dialogue. She also needs to juggle the team better.

    Duggan is doing well.

    Brisson needs a better artist. And arcs that are more important to the overall Krakoan era.

    Hickman and Percy are the most consistent and pretty much carry’s the dawn of X for me. They are better at writing and executing concepts than the rest of the writers. Duggar is a hit or a miss. He would benefit more with a stronger artist. Excalibur got 5x more interesting after Kitty died. Tini was just a disappointment. I don’t think she is a strong enough creator to play with the pros. It sucks because I was really looking forward to see Betsy get the spotlight after she revert back to her original body. I was a big Psylocke fan and I’m disappointed how both Betsy and Kwannon feels so out of character. They pretty much undid all the growth and character development of Psylocke in the past decade.Fallen Angel doesn’t make much sense and the concept of mutant magic could have been better executed.
