hey guys!
i was just curious what the CBR community thinks about this.
Which you think are the top5 Marvel writers in history? Please, post your ranking (1st place to 5th) and if you want to reason it, i’d be very happy to know your opinions!
Just in order to put some little rules in this: when you judge a writer’s work, you should only take into account of the work he\she did for the Marvel superhero universe, thus out of continuity stories involving DC characters still count- (you may think, for instance, that Frank Miller is the greatest writer ever, but is it the best Marvel writer if you count only what he did for Marvel?)
so, gentleman…. word to you!

Jonathan Hickman“If you want to really see a road map of where our movies will be (going) in the next five, 10 or 20 years, read the comics,” says Joe Quesada, Marvel’s chief creative officer. “Because they’re almost always a precursor to what’s on the horizon in our cinematic universe and our television universes.”

Do you want a personal ranking or one of importance? If it's the latter, it's impossible to not include guys that whose work I'm not that fond of, but are undeniably important (Roy Thomas for example)
