Dat DC exclusive writer making the list
Marguerite Bennett did a Joker's Daughter one shot that I loved before I knew who Marguerite was. Megan Hetrick killed it on art.
Haha thank you. Now this will be a running joke for 2 months :/
Even I can't deny his writing skills. I have all of Babylon in my unread cart but I am so lazyDat DC exclusive writer making the list

Nah, statistically speaking, I'm more likely to poke fun at your BP fanboyism than ever bring this up again.
I mean we all have that one character that is above all on the listNah, statistically speaking, I'm more likely to poke fun at your BP fanboyism than ever bring this up again.

The character itself is actually fine. I just don't think the writing is really special. Most of the gags kind of fell flat (especially the dialogue with things like "Come at me, Ro-BRO!") and the serious bits didn't really work very well for me. I liked when she drew dollar signs on her eyes but... that's the only thing anyone really highlights from it now that I think about it. I don't think it's as good as something like Squirrel Girl or even Howard the Duck (and I wasn't much of a fan of this) when it comes to comedy books from Marvel.

I know, it's just funny that you kinda light up like a kid at Christmas when you're talking about BP.

Haha he's not wrong though. I tried a bunch of books this year from Marvel's current slate, and despite King jumping ship, he put out the best book by far.
I guess I'd have King and Aaron, but I don't know who I'd put below. I guess Lemire, Old Man Logan was probably thing I was most enthused about after those guys, but I'd be lying if I pretended I really enjoyed it or anything. I'd probs just stick at King and Aaron with Vision, Thor and Dr Strange my three favourite marvel books of the year.
Caveat: I've still to try Moon Knight or Black Widow, and both look exciting to me.

Is he, though?
Babylon is gonna kill you. There's a scene in #1 that broke my heart into pieces.
My man!

First three seasons of homeland were pretty great.
The other takeaway I had from Thor so far is I would totally read some sort of environmental spy action book from Aaron about Roz Solomon.

Bendis has always been best on solo books. With team books he tends to make them all talk exactly the same and it gets distracting for me.

The first season's great. I thought it went downhill during the second and haven't watched it since.
Moon Knight is a trip, that alone makes it, I would've said Soule but Inhumans tripped during the CW2 arc and Daredevil is finally on good standing
I really do agree on Daredevil. The most recent arc has been going well and I liked the Elektra issues.
Isn't Lemire around a while?

Essex County volume 1 came out 8 years ago.
Old man Logan is cool but I think he is doing something special on moon knight that makes me think he is about to pull of something truly special.
I love Lemire but I was only judging based off recent marvel work.
Edit: I still think Essex county is his optimus primus
Ah ok. The way you worded it sounded like he was new to writing lol
Old Man Logan is great but I struggle with the art. I do realize people love it though.

Obligatory sweet tooth shout out. Perfect run.
Haha nah, and wow guys I just found out that lemire is writing black hammer. If I had known that I would of jumped in already. I blame Donnie.
OML art is very interesting but some of the action panels are hard for me to read the first time because of it
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
yep, sometimes the art is beautiful and sometimes it's a pain to my retinas

Haha. How did you not know that! Can't wait for Black Hammer to hit trade, dark horse too, the trade will be of nice quality. That, Descender & King City all going on next year. And Roughneck, his new ogn. Never mind his alrightish marvel output, Lemire is on fire elsewhere hah.

I'm dead on my feet here so last post of the night before I turn in. Read the first two issues of Mighty Thor...god damn, now we're rolling! This is exactly what I wanted, after two great if cut short/stilted runs, Aaron manages to coalesce all the various sub plots he's had in the wind, Roxxon & Malekith, Laufey, all coming together. I liked even the dose of some quite real feeling politics with the congress of worlds & the state of Asgard under Odin...and motherfuckin
. Really great, those two issues felt 100% on point.
I am absolutely in love with Malekith's war witches btw, how wonderfully creepy looking these three crones are...
Loki!
And Mjolnir negates Jane's Chemo I can see this going sad places. A clever explanation though.

Your spoiler's broken, but I'm glad you like it! Love that book.
EDIT: Shoot, you beat me to the fix.
It's still him.
I say this every month but I am just about begging for a darkhorse sale. Now that I sold all my physical stuff I wanna rebuy Usagi and hellboy digitally.
So it looks like Bullseye is actually a miniseries.
The book has the same artist.

No thanks for letting me know man, I realised and rushed to fix it haha I wouldn't like to ruin anyway for anyone. Don't know how I fucked that up, just so tired haha :| yea, fantastic, can't wait to read the other three tomorrow! Also I feel bad because I haven't wrote much about Dauterman, but his stuff is simply astonishing, the way he can jump from fantasy, to scenes of horror, strong facial expressions, amazing battle scenes and detail, dude can do it all. I love his visualisation of Mjolnir just flying around like a whirlwind beating the shit out of guys too, he has really made the book his own, I don't even miss Ribic at this point.

Dauterman is great, and Wilson really brings out the best in him. That whole creative team is just the tits.
