Yeah, I did read the entire post, and I have to say I feel there is nothing really wrong with what I said, it didn't seem like I forced my opinions unto others.
Once again, could you give me an example of how I think I speak for anyone? Thanks.
And speaking about the tenor of my post, I'll try to be less mean spirited, but just because my posts are tinged with negativity about the comic book writers and artists whom I think are overrated, doesn't mean I don't respect other peoples opinions, it just means I am being enthusiastic when I criticize these creators.
I did look back at my previous posts, and I think the problem may lie in the fact that when I complained about a certain authors books or style, sometimes I didn't state clearly enough those critiques where my own feelings, but then again it would be a pain to have to always include the phrases, In my opinion, or I feel .
Also if you are criticizing me of this, I would consider that thought to be slightly hypocritical.
"Most of these writers book sell because they have their hands on marquee characters. Give them a book at Image or let them write a minor character and the book would be cancelled after 6 issues. The other writers it’s just fan-fiction stories only suitable for sub literate 15 year old boys."
While I agree with you in many regards, this is a very harsh statement, and at least, from this quote, is treated as fact, while I don't care myself, this can be seen as thinking you "Speak for everyone."
Eh, anyway, I don't really care, this comment section is already sort of looking like a destroyed liquor store after a bar fight so, I'm just gonna say I will take your critiques into consideration.

Agreed. You said nothing wrong. You just gave your opinions and Mia chose to personally attack you.
And I really thought the internet had grown beyond the point where people take what you say as a statement of fact if you don't sat "in my opinion" all of the time. Everything anyone states on an internet message board is an opinion - including this.
Underrated
Peter Milligan
Really solid writer. His comic Enigma is one of my favorite miniseries ever along with Watchmen. He also did a great fill in arc on Animal Man in between the end of Grant Morrison's run and the beginning of Tom Veitch's run. Even his work of lesser quality (Which is most of his superhero work) is at least a little above average. He wrote a solid run on Justice League Dark (I wish he stayed on that book longer) and a pretty good story line for the Batman: Confidential anthology.
Steve Dillon
While I don't love his work, his artwork has never really repulsed me as it had with others.
John Totleben
He's mostly known as an inker on Swamp Thing, but I feel that he is a better horror artist than the more well known Steve Bissette when he's an artist not just an inker.
Overrated
Rick Veitch (At least his art)
While I have yet to read enough of his writing to have a solid standing on Veitch's writing skills, (I've only read a fill in JLA issue written by him, which was pretty bad.) I can firmly say Rick Veitch is an underwhelming artist for me. I think he ruined the supposed magnum opus of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run, American Gothic, and he took away all of the horror and scope of that story in my opinion, (To be fair though, I think the conclusion of American Gothic could have been five issues longer for such a grandiose story-line, not just a slightly extra sized issue 50.) Also while many claim that Chuck Austin's fill in art for Miracle Man Red King Syndrome, was an artistic failing, Veitch's Artwork on that arc was not that good either, I would think.
Milligan is a good choice he is talented. Have you read Bad Company?
No I haven't unfortunately, I haven't really gotten into 2000 AD yet, I've only read some of the 2000 AD material from the Milligan/Mcarthy hardcover Dark Horse put out, and a collection of all of the Mark Millar/Grant Morrison Judge Dredd stories, but I'm planning to get into Bad Company one day, and also Johnny Nemo.
I saw a British Top 100 comics list with four by Talbot (The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, Alice in Sunderland, Grandville Noir, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes.) He has remarkable skills in multiple genres (science fiction, anthromorphic noir, literary history), although his topics are very British, so it's likely his work is more obscure to American audiences.
Sincerely,
Thomas Mets
