I'm in total agreement with Peter David. Captain Marvel is one of the titles I have to pick up every month and it's the first book i read out of my bag. His work on the new Ninja Turtles book just doesn't grab me though. I'll check out the next issue because I owe it too PAD.
Bendis. Wow, the guy is incredible. If you haven't check out his book Torso get it now. It's fantastic.
Brian Azzarello, the only guy who can write crime drama on par with Bendis. He's taking over writing Batman in a few months and his work on Hellblazer was great.
Steve Niles, he reinvigorated the horror genre with 30 Days of Night, and his follow up Dark Days is looking great thus far. His new miini Criminal Macabre is the way to go though.
Judd Winnick, I have his entire Green Lantern run and I'm now buying his Green Arrow and the new book Outsiders. The guys writes characters second to none, he'll always be on my list.
Mark Millar, ok Trouble was kinda cheezy fun, but his work on UXM and the Ultimates has been mindblowing. The way he was able to take something everyone knows, something so familiar and make it so different, wow. I still have to check out his Superman:Red Son, I'm waiting for the trade.
