It should come as no surprise for you to learn that I am an enthusiast of Marvel's merry mutants, the hated & feared X-Men! Sometimes a bloke like me gets to thinking "who is the absolute worst writer these beloved characters have had to endure?" You might wonder that too. "Matthew Rosenberg!" you exclaim, conjuring horrifying memories of his recent torturous tenure on the books. And while you might have a point, you are, unfortunately, technically incorrect (which is the worst kind of incorrect).
The worst writer, by far, in my opinion, is Chuck Austen. You could prove it to yourself by reading his shockingly awful run on the book but those of us who have done so now have scorched retinas and belly pain that never disappears. This new Krakoa stuff though? For me it is the best the X-Men books have been in a long time and I’m really enjoying it. I really liked Carey’s stuff too.
So who, in your ever so humble opinion, has written the best X-Men stuff and who has written the worst and, more importantly, why do you hold that opinion?
