Is Grant Morrison still the best comics writer today?

Morrison was never, at any time, the best comic writer, not even the best capeshit

>>94363722
He's only writing shorts for Heavy Metal right now so no

>>94363989
This

>>94363989
as long as bendis lives

I heard he's been banned from cons for headbutting fans.

>/co/ hates Morrison
>Fan polls always have Morrison voted into second place behind Alan Moore
>/co loves to shit on Alan Moore
>/co/ is full of butthurt shitlords.

>>94364844
Alan Moore is a crazed old man but he can write some damn good comics. Grant Morrison is always stuck writing the same story for however many years, even if it is a good story.

>>94364884
I can agree with this.

>>94363722
One of the few left that are willing to be super creative with modern comics.

>>94365023
If he's willing how come he doesn't do it?

>>94363989
Snyder does everything Morrison does but better.

>>94364844
/co/ is above all else a contrarian board

>>94364844
Because /co/ has been infiltrated by plebbit and tumblr recently, so they hate Moore and Morrison and like rebirth and legacy.

>>94365069
wtf I hate everything Morrison has ever written even the stuff that made me cry jow

>>94366403
good

>>94363722
who?

>>94366313
Pretty much this.

>>94363722
No I am.

>>94363722
When was he ever?

>>94363989
He probably actually was the best superhero writer of the 90s.

>>94363722
Fuck off, I know that's Zinedine Zidane this time.

>>94364844
>>Fan polls always have Morrison voted into second place behind Alan Moore

I'm old enough to remember when the general consensus was that Frank Miller and Alan Moore were the two best.

What?

Agree, but I thing is the taste from Y generation rather than Z.

People that love pleb friendly events.

>>94363722
Not when Pat Mills exist.

>>94368964
Like?

>>94365108
I don't know one board on this site that isn't contrarian to some degree. But yeah /co/ is probably a close second to /tv/ for most contrarian

>>94370502
It's so contrarian you have faggots like >>94366313 agreeing with >>94364844 while pushing a contrarian opinion.

For me, it's Warren Ellis

>>94370431
true

Is it just me or has Morrison not actually written that much?
Bat epic. Arkham. Doom patrol. Final Crisis. Nameless. The three Multiversity books, Marvel Boy, X-Men, and Animal Man.

Seems kinda short for like forty years doing comics

>>94372303
Is this bait? He has written more than that.

>>94363722
I can't believe Grant Morrison is a skinhead Nazi white supremacist...

>>94363722
dude, BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL, LMAO

>>94370568
Ellis is my favorite, but he's not the best. That's Neil Gaiman.

>>94372729
>Neil Gaiman
>Better than Moore
Never was and never will be.

>>94370568
Warren Ellis is also my favorite comic book writer, but Morrison's work is better overall.

>>94372303
>newfag only lists Morrison's DC and Marvel works
>newfag confirmed

I like him but BEST TODAY is far from the compliment you think it is

>>94372673

>>94363722

Grant Morrison.
The man who wanted to be Chris Claremont but failed so miserably he retreated back to his DC safespace where Batfags will eat up literally anything.

>>94372303
what is All Star Superman, faggot
also you should try to pick up non big 2 gooks every now and then

>>94372466
And he's mediocre.

>>94364610
Bendis?

>>94374693
Claremont is pleb trash.

>>94363989
He has been the best since about Seven Soldiers (2005 IIRC), after Moore was largely finished with ABC
Please, try to name someone better during that period

>>94374693
>Chris Claremont

Wasn't Ales Kot going to be the next big thing?

>>94375743
Wasn't he heavily featured in this years Storytime of Pain?

>>94375743
He went full retard, and tried to dox Nathan Edmondson for being a conservative

>>94364844
Morrison's great but he tends to be disruptive which is bad for whoever liked what came before. If Morrison got marvel now there would be no downside

>>94365069
Because the comic industry lives on the same old and so resists him.

Fuck that guy, this is one of this worst comics I've ever read that was advertised as a bend on Moebius and District 9, not some shitty self insert about Kot's dead dad and poly couples.

The questions was if he IS the best comcis book writer today.

Moore has resigned. Gaiman pretty much has resgined. Miller is mad and dying.

So, yes, for capes anyway.

>>94363722
Nah.

NonReligion Ennis is better.

>>94372466
>those eyes

What kind of shit has he seen?

>>94365104
He can't even write a decent Superman. He ain't at Morrison's level

>>94378016

A plane fail

>>94363722

In comics that aren't his own property, Grant has often the weakest runs, you aways can aways say "Hewrote Animal Man... But none of the best runs"

At least is best than Garth Ennis, that has the weakest runs in the comics that he himself created

>>94376944
Unless you mean alternative comics, then no. Memender and Marjorie Liu are still the Golden standard for mainstream comics.

>>94377871
Millar is better though

Millar has great ides. The execution and dialogue is often less so.

>>94372466
Fuck no. His batman run is like, okay, but he wastes the payoff of every single thing he builds up to, and i'm so tired of every character spouting cryptic metaphors in literally every line.

You ever wonder why we have so many Ricky and Morty threads? Or why "feminism" is brought up so often? Most of the board is reddit/tubmlr/pol and they neither read comics nor watch cartoons. It shows.
