Since the poll isn't open yet, I will just go ahead and list mine. George Perez followed by Greg Rucka, Phil Jiminez and then Gail Simone.

[Blacksun]

almost for me choose between Azzarello or Rucka...

[Hawk80]

Rucka and Simone
Jimenez and Perez

[7-Love]

William Moulton Marston
Phil Jimenez

[Jadis]

Greg Rucka
George Perez
William Marston

are my top trio.

1st volumers Martin Pasko, Gerry Conway, and Roy Thomas & 2nd volumers Eric Luke and Phil Jimenez are my best of the rest.

Perez -- though the quality of his stories petered out at the end -- especially when he was no longer illustrating them. Azzarello and Simone just didn't do it for me. Rucka had some good stuff, but his stories were so drawn out in comparison to Perez's more action-oriented tales. Roy Thomas and Gene Colan had an underappreciated from the early 80s. Probably my favorite WW run outside of the Perez stuff.

I recently re-read that first Bana-Mighdall arc Chris Merriman drew and Perez wrote. It was well written. I didn't notice how good those issues were before, because I hated Chris Merriman's art so much. The story was great though. Those Amazons made Azz's mud hut dwelling baby killers look like saints. They were cooler too, because they had primitive stuff like poisoned blow darts, in addition to modern weapons like automatic machine guns.

I've been able to vote more than once! The first time I voted for Marston, then I went back to see the results and I was again able to vote; I voted a second time as I thought it didn't register my vote, but then I realised I was able to vote again!

Anyway I voted for Marston. I discovered his work with the archives and was amazed by the creativity and energy that filled each adventures!

After him I would say it is a close tie between Perez, Rucka, Messner-loebs, Newell, Pasko, Thomas and Mishkin. I also liked Gerry Conway who wrote 2 of my favourites pre-crisis stories: the superman vs. Wonder Woman tabloid and WW 329 (the last adventure of the pre-crisis WW).

Simone started strong but it quickly fell apart (not sure what's to blame here: her writing or editorial interference...). Jimenez was fun but too inexperienced. Heinsberg was interesting but totally missed the characterisation of WW, IMO. I definitively need to read Luke's run again as I think it had some good things. Byrne was all over the place. The odyssey was strong for 2 issues. Kanigher was hilarious but missed the point of Diana and her world. Azzarello has some good ideas but I cannot stand his style (too many things feel forced for my taste).
