None.
Even the best writers and artists have their share of crap they produce.

I don't really have any. Even my favourite writers and artists will work with characters/writers/artists that don't appeal to me.

Remender is probably the closest for me. Loved Punisher, Uncanny X-Force, Doctor Voodoo and I'm currently reading Captain America, Fear Agent and Low. Will check out Uncanny Avengers and Black Science soon enough.

Mike Mignola. I just wish he drew his own stories more often.

I would recommend both, but I think The Wicked and The Devine volume 1 is probably the best option at the moment, since the tpb just came out at a bargain price. If you like that, then look for Phonogram.

Just so you know, got the TPB of the Wicked + the Divine = LOVED IT!!! Very, very happy. Will try Phonogram next!
